    magnolia dance

    A different kind of senior session (plus two juniors) but one i LOVED photographing. These kids have been dancing together for many, many years and are super close friends so they wanted to capture some special moments together at dance, at play and in some graduation attire. Mission accomplished! Wishing these kids all a wonderful senior (and two junior) year! I can’t wait to see where life takes them all.

    jacqueline & craig get married {the reception}

    The day after their police station/jail wedding, the reception was held at the Loft at Bridgeview and was awesome! We got outside for a few portraity pictures and the rest was fairly candid work- which I love. Everyone had a great time (and i heard it got even more fun later on in the night) and the bride and groom were surrounded by lots of friends, family and love!

    the karl family

    A special 4 generational session for this family who were in town for a wedding. Grandma has a beautiful flower garden, kitchen garden and loves cooking and asked for some of that to be incorporated into their session, so add it we did! Love all the love in this session!

    sara & ryan get engaged!

    Ryan is a longtime client and to say that my head was spinning when he asked if i could come shoot his proposal photos would not be an exaggeration! I mean he’s still a little kid in my head who HATES getting his picture taken! Time does fly by! Here is our lovely and artistic rendering of how we were positioning the proposal. And here are the resulting shots from the actual proposal. She said yes! Congratulations to Ryan & Sara and thanks so much for having me along for the ride!

    a project that’s yum {part 11}

    This go round included a few “filler” shots of flowers & eggs, mixed in with some deliciousness. When I first read her message, it looked like garlic waffles not like garlic, waffles because I read it all so fast. So of course we had to make garlic waffles happen.
