I strive to create beautiful imagery that feels graphic and dynamic by combining my fine art photography education with my working knowlege of commercial photography.

I am drawn to photographing children and families because in my opinion, there is nothing more beautiful and genuine than the connections between each member of a family.

It is my goal to not only make a record of what you look like, but to capture those special connections honestly and artfully, while preserving each moment in a fresh and modern way. I feel truly blessed to be able to work with children and families and feel honored every time someone places trust in me to photograph them. I feel confident that what we create together will be images that you and your family will cherish, and hopefully, pass down for generations.

I am happy married to a wonderful man and we live in the Suburbs of Chicago with our 2 beautiful daughters. To get a glimpse of what our life at home is like you can follow along on our blog THE BARKLEY BABES.
