More About Me:

I'm a Mom of two children, a Photographer, a Landscape Gardener with my husband on our two-acre Homestead, and a Teacher Aide in a nearby elementary school. I have also worked as a substitute teacher in middle school and high schools.

I love working with children, and people who know say I am especially good at it:)

In My Life Before I Became a Mom (the WayBackMachine):

My University of Illinois college degrees and 15 years of professional work experience were all in the great field of Journalism, where I won awards reporting and broadcasting news for public radio stations, worked as a writer/editor/public relations manager for national trade associations and worked with physicians to author web site patient education articles for a professional medical association. 

More About My Photography Sessions

I especially Love working in the Great Outdoors, where I think we might all benefit by spending more time. My hometown is Glen Ellyn, where I lived all of my growing up years. Since college, I have lived in unincorporated DuPage County for the past 25 years, and with my active lifestyle, I have explored many extraordinary natural areas throughout the western suburbs of Chicagoland. So, when it comes to arranging a great photography session,I can always think up a great location, that has an impressive background to match your theme or the look you have in mind.

A location where You can Relax, and your kids can also have a Great Time.

And that, of course, helps make the Photography Session experience

Easy and Fun for Everyone! 

Some of my Very Favorite places for Photography Sessions are: 

FermiLab Natural Areas

Morton Arboretum

Cantigny

LeRoy Oaks Forest Preserve

Lilac Park

Lake Ellyn Park

Busse Woods Forest Preserve

And, honestly, there are just so many more! I can usually nominate a place or two for you to consider based upon the time of the year, and your starting location, if you have special interests you want to highlight, if you want to include your pet dog, etc., etc.
