Referring a photographer to your friends and family is one of the best compliments you can give. That's how I got connected with Nicole. A past client, whose family I photographed in October, referred her to me. I feel so fortunate to work with amazing people like them and am truly grateful.


Nicole contacted me to set up a family photoshoot for her in-laws' golden wedding anniversary. She shared that their family loves spending time boating together on the chain. So, I recommended nearby water locations that would be perfect for their shoot. We chose the Fox River Forest Preserve & Marina in Barrington as the ideal location, which turned out to be just that! During my scouting visit a few weeks ago, I had a feeling it would be great, and arriving on Sunday morning confirmed it. This location may have just moved to one of my top 5 locations. 


Stoltz family, thank you for choosing me to help capture your beautiful family memories. Getting to know each and every one of you was such a pleasure, and I absolutely LOVE the final images we created together! Now sit back and enjoy. Your sneak peek is LIVE!
