all i have to say is, "i love what i do!"  kristy and i had a fabulous time creating head shots for her up-and-coming business and, like most 2012 spring days in chicago, we had beautiful weather.  i adore head shot sessions...it's just me, my camera, some bounce reflectors and amazing company--in this case, kristy k.  and bonus: not only does she glow on camera, she is such a warm and beautiful person inside too.  i had so much fun getting to know her and hope you enjoy her pics!  

best... jennifer

I have been so extremely busy photographing all sorts of amazing people and places and unfortunately, I have been neglecting my blog.  Here are a few of the highlights...


Once upon a time I was a double major in architecture and graphic design.  Although my career path shifted a bit, my love for architecture and design have not wavered.  













Lindsay + Beau ~ Engagement Session









Wells Heidelberger at 3 months...


Nora Fleming...
I have been photographing for NF for close to eight years now.  Their dishes and minis are an inspiration to me.  I get to play with food and styling in order to highlight this beautiful serve ware.
