Engagement :: Mark & Lea
September 2nd, 2010

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!

Engagement :: Martha & Braden
August 31st, 2010

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.

Sneak Peek :: Mallory & Tyler
August 29th, 2010

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!

Engagement :: Anny & Alex
August 21st, 2010

Anny and I were starting to think this shoot was never going to happen. We had to reschedule several times due to the weather, but finally, on our third try, we got great weather. Sometimes good things are worth waiting for… this shoot was definitely a good thing.

Oh, and if you’re wondering…London and Paris, Alex and Anny’s dogs, came out for some fun too.

Engagement :: Liz & Adam
August 19th, 2010

Five things about this session:

1. Liz and Adam were adorable and I loved that they had a vision for the shoot (I mean, they even dressed all vintage-y! Could not love them more!)
2. The light was GORGEOUS. I wanted to bottle it up and carry it around with me always.
3. The mosquitoes were so so bad. I counted at least 38 bites, and I’m sure that Liz & Adam didn’t fare much better. Sorry guys!
4. That blue thing is a WWII bomb that Adam brought. He’s opening a store very soon, and it will be accentuating his store. So cool.
5. I love Chicago. One day I can be shooting on the top of a skyscraper in the heart of the city, and a few days later, I can be crawling in cornfields. This was at Peck Farm Park in Geneva.

And, now on to the photos!
