⁠ It's a surprisingly personal question; no one else can decide how you measure your own success and it's allowed to evolve over time. My definition has certainly transformed over the past 7 years as I shifted from focusing on how life looks to how life feels.⁠ ⁠ I used to think success was about checking boxes and collecting gold stars: I was a corporate-climbing mom who could "do it all and do it with a smile". It looked great on the outside. ⁠ But, on the inside, I felt hollow and like I was never doing enough. There was always more to do/be/achieve. When my infant daughter had serious spinal surgery 7 years ago, it made me reevaluate how I was living, and for whom. Thankfully, she’s healthy, but it became the pivot point where my life has since become before and after.⁠ Now I know success means having the courage to create a life of authenticity and impact. By letting go of who I think I should be, it freed me up to embrace who I am and who I am to become.⁠ We are most impactful when we’re most authentic so, ultimately, success is living into my full range and building a life aligned with my values, purpose and gifts in order to inspire others to do the same. ⁠ I am humbled and honored to be included in Steve Ewert Photography's series on Successful Women in Chicago.⁠ I'd love to hear from you: What does success mean to you? How has your definition evolved?

We had a family of 14 and Joani did an awesome job taking shots of the whole family as well as the individual families and kids. She traveled to our location of choice and recommended the spots that would have the best backgrounds and lighting. Our proofs were uploaded and edited super fast. She was even able to erase an awkward looking sunburn for me, lol. I highly recommend choosing her!

Tim O.

He turned our living room into a complete studio. He and his assistant made the whole experience very comfortable, and even fun for our family. Very professional, highly recommend.
