Going through these, I realized how much I loved the beach shots that we took at the end. There is something about the beach that just makes pictures seem carefree and fun (and, okay, I might be a little biased since I grew up around the beach). I would love to do a few more beach sessions before the year’s out… we’ll see… but, for now, I am totally happy with these!
Anyway, huge thanks to Mark and Lea for rolling up their jeans to plod into the water and also for breaking rules by climbing onto the lifeguard station. You guys were so much fun to be around!

Martha, Braden, and I visited my favorite forest preserve of all time for their engagement session. They want to have a natural theme for their wedding, with a venue to match, so we wanted to incorporate that into their engagement session. While I’m really loving the interesting locations of the urban e-sessions I have scheduled for the next few weeks, I just cannot turn down an opportunity to shoot at this suburban forest preserve. As you can see from the lead image, Disneyworld’s Tree of Life’s brother resides there.
Oh, and these were taken just days after some massive rains, so much of the preserve was flooded and mucky and yucky. It didn’t phase Martha and Braden though, they waded in right after me.
I love my clients.

One of my favorite recent sessions, no joke.
Mallory and Tyler were so cute the whole time, laughing and having a great natural chemistry with each other. I hope you can see how much fun they were in the photos!
More soon!

These are some “finish the roll” photos… various pictures of details around the house and a hotel room.
While I love taking pictures of people, sometimes it’s fun to also take pictures of places people should be and inhabit, but minus the people. The way a person’s home is decorated normally says so much about a person… one day I would love to do an engagement shoot in a couple’s house or apartment, just for that reason.

Kevin and Kathy had one of the most intimate weddings I have seen. It was them, their respective children, a small group of their closest friends and family, a beautiful park, and a room at a Mediterranean restaurant (which had AMAZING food)… while large weddings are always a fun party, sometimes it’s nice to just have a laid back day.
Congrats, Kevin & Kathy, and thank you for welcoming me into your family for a day!
