What began as a side gig and born out of necessity soon became a calling. In 2016, as a single mom to my one-year-old daughter, Evie, and pregnant with my son, Liam, I turned to my love of photography, hoping it could bring a bit of stability to our new season of life. I never imagined that EV Photography would grow into what it is today.

What started as a way to provide for my family has become one of the greatest honors of my career — capturing love stories and preserving the memories that mean the most. Along the way, I’ve met incredible families, couples and formed genuine connections that go far beyond simply running a business. Being invited into such an intimate, joyful moment in someone’s life is a privilege I never take for granted.

I’m deeply grateful to God for guiding me through the journey of building EVP and for allowing me to do work that fills me with purpose. My hope is that every family, couple or business I serve feels seen, celebrated, and cared for — long after the last photo is delivered.

MY WEDDING: 
In April 2019, I married my husband, Greg, in an intimate celebration with just 25 of our closest friends and family in St. Pete, Florida. The day had tropical garden vibes, complete with live music from a local street musician, a taco-and-tequila cocktail hour, and a candlelit dinner under the palm trees — it was perfection.

MY FAMILY
My family is my world! My daughter Evangeline (Evie) is 11 and Liam is 9, We love watching 90's movies, playing Nintendo, bike rides, and solving puzzles as a family! Evie is a great volleyball player and Liam is fantastic at chess. Fun fact, I named the company after Evie, because at the time, she was my everything and the whole reason why I needed to build a successful brand. Greg and I love playing pickleball together and are teaching the kids to play too.

MY FAVES: 
I love working out outdoors at 5 a.m.—rain or shine, snow or ice—and I’m part of a women’s workout group called FiA (Females in Action). I prefer tropical climates and I LOVE the water! My favorite water activity is paddle‑boarding. I prefer to cook from scratch and love a good steak. My sweet drink of choice is an espresso martini; otherwise, I love a good Vesper Martini. My coffee order is an Americano with cream and sugar‑free vanilla. Proverbs 31:25 is my favorite verse.

CHICAGO MUSTS:
Christmas in Chicago -The lights, the markets, the shopping, the windows, the shows & the food, it's all very nostalgic for me. I am a die hard Cubbies fan and love spending an afternoon at the ball field! I can go either way with deep dish and thin crust pizza, but if I see you put ketchup on a hot dog, we can't be friends. 

MY IDENTITY:
Yes, I am a photographer, a female business owner, a wife, and a mother. but I do not identify myself first by my vocation, marital status, or role as a woman. I do not identify myself by my race, ethnicity, gender, or even my religious traditions. My identity is found in Jesus and only He can define who I am. I am a sinner, saved by grace. I am dearly loved, chosen, born for a purpose and with a purpose—and that purpose is to love and bring glory to God, and to show others how much they are loved by Him too.

1 John 4:9-11 : God showed His love for us when He sent His only Son into the world to give us life. Real love isn't our love for God, but His love for us. God sent His Son to be the sacrifice by which our sins are forgiven. Dear friends, since God loved us this much, we must love each other.
