A blog of our current photography work.
Cameron and Julianne reached out to me for some engagement portraits that they want to use for their save the date cards. We set up a time to meet at Patriot’s Park for some spring like photos in nature and then made a stop in downtown Downers Grove for a more urban look. These two were quite natural in front of the camera and I had such a pleasure photographing them!
Last week I met up with the Hooblers at a park in La Grange for some portraits for Mother’s Day. Their kids just got out of school so we started things off with some fun at the playground to get warmed up. Then we found a pretty spot in the trees to get some portraits. I loved that they got the Grandmas involved in the photos, too! Thanks for having me do more portraits for you!
I photographed Lindsey and Eric’s wedding ceremony at Company 251 last September and I finally got to photograph their reception at the same location the other week. It was kind of strange to pick up where we left off month ago but it was also wonderful! I felt like I got to relive their beautiful wedding day all over again. Also, I don’t usually get rest before the reception which sometimes I need and I feel like I got one really really long nap in after their ceremony. So I was all fired up and full of energy. I loved being able to join in the celebration of Lindsey and Eric’s marriage. Congratulations!!
Rachel and Keegan got married a couple of weeks ago at the beautiful Arrowhead Golf Course in Wheaton, IL. It was my first full wedding day of 2021 and I couldn’t have asked for a better couple to start my season off with! You could sense how in love Rachel and Keegan are with each other and it was my pleasure to capture their love in photos. It was a bit wet outside (typical of April to be that way) and it didn’t affect these two. They were just as happy as if it was a sunny dry day! Congratulations to Rachel and Keegan and I wish them all the happiness as they start married life together! -Jake
Special thanks to Nicholas Holstein for being my second photographer!

Earlier this week I did some family portraits for the Sachanda family at their home in Hinsdale. They were all together for the holiday and decided to try to get some pictures of the whole family. It was so much fun following the two little cousins around as they picked flowers and enjoyed the warm weather. Thank you to the Sachandas for having me take their family photos!
