Happy Anniversary Meg & Jove

I wanted to wish Meg and Jove a very happy first anniversary. I had such a fabulous time at their wedding last year. Their families and the whole wedding party were so much fun and made my job so easy to capture the excitement and emotion of the day. Meg and Jove, I hope you had a wonderful first year and wish you all the best in the years to come.

Nikki

This week Nikki came to Chicago to spend a morning with me for her senior portraits. We had a great time using all the great colors around the buildings and parks in my neighborhood. She is the niece of a friend and she couldn't look more like our Mary. I hope she doesn't mind being affectionately referred to as mini-Mary. Nikki, good luck with your senior year before going on to study nursing like your mom and be sure to visit us in the big city again soon!

Sheryl Crow

Sunday night I spent a lovely evening at Ravinia listening to Sheryl Crow and James Blunt. However, it was a ridiculously oversold event that required us to sit in an area of lawn that didn't even have speakers let alone catching a glimpse of the performance. So I was super excited to find out Sheryl was playing a private concert at the event I was working Monday night. I was even lucky enough to get a few shots of her.

Lisa & Dan

Last Saturday I had the pleasure of photographing Lisa and Dan's wedding. They were both fabulous. Lisa was a gorgeous bride and so calm and collected - it was great. We spent time getting ready at her parent's house and then went to a nearby park for pictures. Only about 25 other wedding parties had the same idea, but we had fun and took plenty of shots there. Congratulations Lisa and Dan and thank you for letting me share in your day!






Lisa's dress took an extremely long time to lace up. Kudos to Lindsay for lacing it all up beautifully.

St. Bernadette in Evergreen Park has gorgeous stained glass windows throughout the church.

Lindsay & Derrick

Last weekend my lovely cousin Lindsay got married in Champaign, IL. Lindsay and Derrick had an intimate ceremony and reception at Derrick's family restaurants where they met while Lindsay worked during her years at U of I. Currently, they live in Brooklyn, NY but we all hope they come back home soon! Congratulations and love to you both and welcome to the family, Derrick!
