Callie is the absolute best! We had so much fun at our engagement session. We had no idea what types of poses or anything we wanted to do, and she really helped us out. She was so quick, and the pictures turned out PERFECT.

Five stars is not enough for the photography experience with Callie. Her art is phenomenal - she captured all of the candid moments that made our wedding unique to us, and she was flexible with our requests to make the photography authentic, genuine, and candid. Even our posed photos were fun and relaxed. Also just as important is Callie’s energy and support before and on the wedding day. I was anxious about logistics and overwhelmed with all of the attention, and Callie made me feel so relaxed and at ease. I started having fun and unwinding when Callie joined the day. I felt like one of my good friends was photographing our wedding, and I hadn’t met her in person until that day.

My wife and I used Callie for our engagement photos in Chicago & our wedding photos up in the Lake Geneva area. She was absolutely fantastic and a joy to work with. She made us so comfortable during the process and made it so easy to take all the photos. Leading up to the wedding she was great at keeping us organized and helped answer any one-off questions we had throughout the process. Additionally, she stayed a little later for the wedding itself to make sure to get extra dance floor pictures!
If you are getting married in the Chicagoland to Lake Geneva area, we can’t recommend Callie enough.

Callie did an absolutely incredible job capturing our wedding day. From the start, she truly understood our vision — we wanted the day to feel fun, natural, and authentic, and she delivered that and more. She was such a joy to work with: easygoing, professional, and seamlessly present without ever feeling intrusive. The day felt effortless, and her calming presence made everything flow beautifully.
Our sneak peek photos are breathtaking — she captured the emotion, energy, and joy of the day so perfectly. We’re beyond excited to see the rest! We genuinely couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out and can’t recommend Callie highly enough. She helped make our perfect day even more memorable.
