Bella and Spencer

I just absolutely adore Bella and Spencer and their style. Their cheerful and bright personalities lit up my day and it was easy to forget about the rain when I was with them. I was delighted every time I found a butterfly in their decor. Their wedding ceremony took place at St. Joseph’s in Libertyville followed by a reception at the classy Lincolnshire Marriott Resort. Special thanks to Nick Holstein for photographing alongside me. Cheers to Bella and Spencer and I wish them many blessings!! -Jake

Lisa's Family

After what seemed like a freaking long winter (and I’m saying this as it’s snowing outside in April) it felt so good to get to the park for some family portraits in the sun last weekend! Message me if you’re considering doing some family portraits. I also do maternity and newborn sessions among other things. Thank you so very much to Lisa in hiring me to photograph her family!

Amanda and Dave

My heart fills with joy when I see a couple who love each other so much that they laugh and smile throughout their wedding. Amanda and Dave were like that. The whole time they were having fun and it was evident that they were so happy to get married. Their wedding took place a couple of weeks ago at the fantastic Bartlett Hills Golf Club. It’s a perfect place to get married at. Huge thanks to Amanda and Dave and their wedding party who stuck with me for a bunch of portraits out in the wind and had a good attitude the whole time. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate a group of people who are having fun and listen to my directions. Such a good wedding and I wish Amanda and Dave all the best as they enter this new chapter in their lives. -Jake
