Top Family Photographer in Chicago

Hi, friend. I'm so happy you're here, because it means you value preserving this precious season of life while it lasts. We have that in common, and it's why portrait photography to me is so much more than a pretty photo. It tells a story. I collect the candid giggles, nose-wrinkles, tender touches, and ensure they find a way into your hands and home for you to relive every day. 

I've been photographing people for the last 15 years, exploring every niche from newborns to weddings. In time, I found that my most joyful place is up close and personal with the beautiful humans God created, telling their stories with light-filled emotion and joy. 

There's nothing I'd love more than the honor to know you and tell your story, and hopefully become your new favorite Chicago suburbs photographer (and friend)!

From the very beginning she had so many great ideas and worked with me so well to figure out the looks that I was going for my senior photos. She was able to create the image that I wanted and was so fun to work and shoot with!

 Charity provides such a custom experience from start to finish and did such a wonderful job. She met with us 1:1 to go through images and was able to produce beautiful prints that are now in our home. I highly recommend her!
