Weddings, Lovers & Motherhood

Chicago & beyond

I’ve always been drawn to the things that are easy to overlook while they’re happening. Photography gives me a way to notice those moments and preserve them before they pass.

I photograph people as they are, allowing things to unfold naturally while offering direction when you need it. The result is a collection of photographs you hoped for, alongside the unexpected moments that make the experience your own.

Artful, emotive imagery that feels like you.

I believe in the art of noticing what would otherwise pass us by.

Meet Kali

LEARN ABOUT THE EXPERIENCE

- Olivia & David

"We had the best time with Kali for our engagement session! She is so incredibly sweet and made us feel comfortable and completely ourselves in front of the camera. She was so easygoing, encouraging and genuinely fun to be around. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and we absolutely love how our photos turned out"

"We worked with Kali for our maternity session in Chicago. She found the perfect setting for us. It looked like the grassy prairies, so natural and beautiful, yet it was right in the city. She somehow made the whole shoot feel so relaxed and effortless with no pressure to be a certain way.

Neither my husband nor I are particularly comfortable in front of the camera, but Kali made it so easy. Nothing felt forced or overly posed, and we never felt like we were being asked to do anything awkward or unnatural. It was so easy to laugh and talk during the shoot and I think that’s what made it feel comfortable. It made the photos feel genuinely us. Loved the shoot, loved Kali, loved the photos."

- Hannah & Michael

“Having Kali photograph such a special time in our lives was one of the best decisions we could have made! Not only does her talent and creativity speak for itself, but she went above and beyond during our engagement session to make us feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera and it truly shows in every photo.

Kali is incredibly kind and thoughtful, and you can tell how much care she puts into every detail of her work. She sent us sneak peeks so quickly, which made us even more excited to see our full gallery! We will treasure these photos forever and feel so lucky to have had Kali capture such a special chapter of our lives. We truly cannot recommend her enough!”
