The sun came out for a brief moment today…did you see it? It was a mostly grey day and then there was a beautiful magenta sunset😍
Taking a quick break from editing preschool kiddos so that I can share another family session preview. I first met this gorgeous family in 2020 and was so happy to get them back in front of my camera!
It’s been 4 years and, seemingly, the boys have added a couple of feet to their respective heights but ya know what never changes? The fart machine. My faithful noise maker always delivers!
It’s the little things…

Well, it took a little time but the autumnal colors really showed up this year. It was brief, beautifully muted, and stunning…the wind and rain are doing their best to wash it all away but we have a few trees that are hanging on.
Raise your hand if you’re not quite ready for winter🙋🏻♀️

It’s Thursday but all day long I thought it was Tuesday. Is that a win? I have no idea.

Here’s something I do know…*stares into the distance*…nope, the thought has vanished from my brain. It was just there. It will reappear at some point🤞🏼
But seriously, I am super grateful to have the most patient and wonderful clients. 🫶🏻
…and it’s almost the end of another week! Let’s celebrate that!

Sometimes the universe sends little pick-me-ups in the form of client google reviews!
I’ve been buried in work, steadily digging myself out…I haven’t checked my email today because, well, I’ve been editing since 5am and I was avoiding distractions as much as possible.
As I was getting ready for bed I saw a notification & I almost ignored it. I figured it could wait until tomorrow.
I’m glad I checked because I needed this little boost of encouragement today!
If you have a favorite small business (or several faves), send them a quick note, comment on their social media posts, leave them a review, or share with friends, etc…
It means so much to small business owners! XOXO 🫶🏻

A sweet preview from a recent family session in Glen Ellyn.
Today was hard…I kept myself busy by editing…it helped limit my doom scrolling a bit.
Take care of yourselves, friends🫶🏻
It’s rainy and gross outside but it took me less than 30 minutes to vote and that includes walking to & from Beye, my polling place, and stopping to take this photo of the fallen Gingko leaves & their vomit berries. Go vote🫶🏻
Catching up on previews with this adorable family 🥰
Looking forward to a busy and productive week ahead!
