Welcome to the CMP  Journal

Lisa reached out to me the week before she and Michael planned to elope. Their big Chicago wedding got postponed due to COVID, but they were eager to start their next chapter of life as husband and wife! So, we headed down to Fort Desoto beach and had the most beautifully intimate wedding ceremony with […]

How absolutely stunning and radiant is Romina?! I was so excited when she reached out to me to do her maternity session. I knew after our phone consultation that she would be so sweet and lovely to capture photos of. And that was an understatement! I haven’t known Romina and Daniel long, but I know […]

When Zach reached out to me to photograph the ceremony to wed his beautiful bride, Alex, I was immediately on board. He mentioned that their wedding plans were unfortunately postponed a couple times due to COVID, but he was never more ready to marry his bride.  So along with Zach’s sweet parents, Alex’s loving mom […]

I just love this sweet family. I met Rebecca in middle school, and she was just the most bubbly, fun girl. So many summer nights were spent listening to Taylor Swift and learning the Cotton Eye Joe dance together. Fast forward a few years and I met her now husband, Chris. The first thing I […]

Maternity Session I met this beautiful mama to-be several years ago. We worked together for a couple years, and I remember she always had such a calming presence about her. But don’t be fooled, she is a Muay Thai trainer and could easily do some damage if she wanted to! These are just small reasons […]

This sweet family holds a special place in my heart. Brielle is my brother in-law’s niece, and I have known her since she was a little girl. It’s absolutely surreal watching this young lady grow into the wonderful mother that she is today. I had the pleasure of meeting Brielle’s boyfriend, Alex, at their family […]

Before our session, the last time I had seen Carlitos, he was an elementary school kid who didn’t like me 😂 Thankfully, that was not the case during his senior shoot! We had a great time reminiscing while shooting, and Carlitos was down for whatever idea I asked him to do.  Carlitos’ amazingly supportive parents […]

Wedding Anniversary Shoot – May 2020 Shelby and Justin met when working together at Abercrombie back in the day, and no, surprisingly, they were not models. Based off these pictures though, they could have fooled me! They were both so easy to pose, but can we just take a moment to appreciate Shelby’s beauty?! She […]
