Happy New Year!

A quick post to wish everyone a safe and fun-filled New Year! Look later this week for my New Year's resolution and more images from Jane + Ryan's engagement session.

Spread the Love - Today, Tomorrow, and Always.

Dan + Jessica

Nothing like the Tropics in the middle of winter! I headed out earlier this week to Garfield Park Conservatory to meet up with Dan and Jessica for their engagement session. Since it was about 7 degrees outside and covered with ice the conservatory was a great spot to keep warm. We had a fun tour including a trip down the kid's slide - which seemed to be a bit slick for those little munchkins - they probably fly down that thing! I'm looking forward to the wedding in October!

Tom + Courtney

Well if you're going to do a session in the snow - Saturday was perfect. Tom and Courtney are planning a wedding out east so it was my pleasure to capture their Chicago stomping grounds for their engagement. We started out at their place taking Jersey, their adorable full of energy pups, for a walk down the snow covered street. After we ventured over to the steps of St. Vincent de Paul, this is where Tom had popped the question. One last stop on the list was North Avenue Beach. I was really excited to do some winter skyline shots, when we arrived I was even more inspired when I say how extremely calm the lake was. Ah Beautiful!!! Thanks you to for trekking out in the cold - it was so worth it!

Park Family

I love when stories come full circle. Last week I met up with one of my favorite couples from 2006. I was so excited to shoot with them again and meet their ADORABLE baby girl. The session was filled with smiles and giggles. It was great to see their new family forming and be able to capture some great images to remember these special times. I have also included an image from their wedding I took a few years ago.
