Chicago - May 2017

Over the last month, I've had the privilege to collaborate with my buds at 1767 Designs and Printsburgh on a project for Kimball Office. Last week, I was in Chicago filming the last leg of the project and managed to squeeze in a little exploring :)

I can't wait to show you guys what we've been up to, but for now here a few snaps of my after hours adventures.

Brittany + Mark + my future niece/nephew

My honorary big sis and her hubby are about to bring a perfect creature into the world, and I can't wait to meet him or her. Brittany, thank you for being my sister. Mark, thank you for being you. I still can't believe that I am going to be an aunt in approximately 48hrs.

Here are a few snaps I took of these two lovely people right before dusk while Brittany finished prepping her nursery.

Global Effect - Dominican Republic, December 2016

In December, I had the opportunity to travel to the Dominican Republic with an organization called Global Effect. Global Effect exists to bring about real, sustainable change while spreading the love of Christ to the people of the Dominican Republic. Going through my photos from the trip has brought about a flood of emotions, and I am honored to be able to tell their story. 

There will be a video component to this project being released in the coming weeks, but for now, here are some of my favorite moments from the trip.

If you would like to learn more about Global Effect and how you can get involved, please visit globaleffect.org.

Portrait Session with Hope - Nashville, TN

When I meet another person who is equal parts creative and plan oriented, I know I have met a kindred spirit. Hope is one of those people who "fills your bucket" when you're around her. Her energy and passion are infectious.

This beautiful soul is marrying her BFF in a little more than two weeks, and I am beyond ecstatic to see what she and Clay conquer together. Isn't it awesome when two rockstars decide to combine forces and take on the world as a team? 

Anywho, here are some portraits I made of Hope last week while I was in Nashville.
