I'm inspired by capturing raw, soul filled connection in thoughtful and artful ways. For me, it’s about more than just photographs, it’s your story.

"Working with Ro on our first photoshoot as a family was a dream come true for us. She made us feel so comfortable; I never imagined I would actually enjoy having my photo taken! We loved the process and the outcome, and could not ask for anything more than that. As far as we're concerned, she is our official family photographer :)"
"Thank you isn't enough. You are immensely talented and I feel lucky to have made the connection with you. One of the most challenging things during a photo session is to feel comfortable enough with the photographer to allow for genuine interaction and a sense of peace so that the photograph is able to capture a true and honest moment. That is something you are able to do so beautifully."
"Absolutely in love with our photos from our family session with Ro. We feel so seen. Ro has a true gift for capturing people and their connections in such a genuine and beautiful way. I honestly couldn’t be happier with our experience, it was everything I was hoping it would be! The whole family (little kids included) felt so comfortable and at ease throughout the session, making our photos feel natural, genuine, and not forced. Already looking forward to our next session in the future!"
"I am absolutely amazed by Ro's photography skills and creativity-- I couldn't be happier about the photos she captured of my family and I. The whole experience from start to finish was easy, professional, and enjoyable. I appreciated the time and interest Ro invested in us prior to the photo shoot, it truly made a difference in my comfort level while being photographed. I could see that she truly wanted to get to know us as a family and what we were hoping to capture in our family photos! I will definitely be reaching out and booking with Ro for years to come!! "
"Taking our family photos with Ro was not only enjoyable, but for the first time that I can remember, my entire family felt relaxed and calm during a photo shoot. I love the way that Ro organically took us from space to space, gave specific prompts without any staging, and made it feel like we were just walking around a beautiful space with a longtime friend. One of my favorite aspects of our photos is the film-like aesthetic that feels so natural, real, carefree and authentic to who we are. I can't recommend Ro enough. I am hoping to book a session for next year in the fall! Now, especially that we've worked with her already, I know we will feel even more confident, relaxed, and just have fun!"
"I can’t say enough good things about working with Ro!! She not only understood the vision for my brand, but collaborated and elevated it to a place I couldn’t be happier with. A true artist and dedicated to her craft, having her shoot with me was a total gift!"
"We loved working with Ro! Having seen her work, we knew she was extremely talented, but she also turned out to be extremely nice, chill, cool, etc. I met her for coffee prior to our family shoot to chat through details. It was delightful, and I so appreciated her taking the time to get to know me and learn about our family. On the actual day of the shoot, she rolled with everything — shy and stubborn toddlers, tired babies, and cloudy and cold weather. As a mom, she knows how to let children just be and capture them in their natural element. We got beautiful shots of our family just being us as well as some gorgeous semi-posed shots, which we really wanted as well. Every photo is dreamy and beautiful — and we so appreciated the variety of shots, from intimate closeups to wide landscapes to action shots and quiet moments."
"Truly, you captured my family in a special time and special place. The amount of compliments I’ve received over the photos are endless!!! I think I’ve spoken your name to 50 people over the last few months! I have zero constructive feedback because you were just a dream to work with!! I think you deserve to up your payment though!!!"
"Working with you was my dream come true. I felt an instant connection and loved every minute spent with you. You not only made my kids feel comfortable but myself and Michael as well- to just be ourselves. You are the most darling human and I want to hang out with you outside of picture taking!!!"
I love to travel when possible!
I do separate work from personal though and will not book sessions when I'm on a trip specifically for my family unless I announced otherwise.
On the occasions when families have flown me out to them to document their world, I feel incredibly honored and we have the best time!!
There is no flat fee because every location has different costs but I will always compensate for my time, flight, accommodations and food.
Travel fees apply to sessions 1 hour outside of Naperville IL and out of state. Pricing is available upon request!

I can honestly say the photos you were able to capture for us are among my most treasured belongings. If I had only a few minutes to run out of my house and grab what's important, I know that I would take one of the breathtaking photos you took of my daughter and me when she was just a few weeks old. You were able to capture so perfectly a moment in time, in all of its tenderness, fragility, and warmth, and allow me to relive it every time I look at the photo.
My process is not first come, first serve. It's about making sure we are aligned on vision and approach as well as availability.
Share your hopes, heart & vision as detailed & as honest as you can!
If availability and vision for the session you're hoping for are aligned, you'll receive an email back with a link to my Investment Guide & available date(s).
As much as I wish I could somehow work with everyone who inquires, the reality is that dates this year are extremely limited. I greatly appreciate your patience in advance regarding replies to inquires as well as your understanding if we aren't able to work together this booking season.
As a full time mom & part time business owner please allow at least 3-5 business days for a reply, Monday through Fridays.
Thanks so much for your interest in working together, I'm honored to have your trust in documenting your story!
