I am always so excited to meet and hold sessions with new couples, but being able to photograph the love of friends and family is a different kind of joy!

Before she was my sister in law, Ellen was my best friend. 2 years ago, it was such a beautiful day, I was honored to stand next to her and support her marrying the love of her life, Scott.

Ellen and Scott are quite the duo to be reckoned with, I mean, they met while both perusing their Ph.D.s in Chemistry at Purdue University (SMARTY PANTS!). Now they are conquering new ground at the University of Illinois where they are working on their Post-Docs. We can clearly say this is a time where 2 elements were brought together to make the perfect compound!

It makes me incredibly happy to share the Two Year Anniversary Session with Ellen, Scott, and their puppy Max. These fun loving and amazingly intelligent doctors make my heart smile! Thank you Ellen and Scott for spending such a fun afternoon with me!
