It was so great to see an old friend and colleague last week. She moved out to California several years ago and on a visit back to Chicago I finally got to meet and photograph her two beautiful daughters. We had great weather as we played in Lincoln Park and Emily napped and then came back to the studio to photograph Emily in all her baby chubbiness. Irma, it was so great too see you and it was wonderful meeting your girls. I hope it doesn't take that long for us to see each other again. Hopefully, Justin can join us for our next photo session.
As summer was quickly fading, I was able to spend the day with one of my favorite dancers and her beautiful family. Garfield Park is quickly becoming one of my favorite spots to photograph. It has a lot of different areas, each one as lovely as the next. The Ecchers are always a dream to work with and a seriously gorgeous little girl with some of the best expressions on a little one.
Last week I got the opportunity to spend a morning with Yuli and Nick for their engagement session. We started by the Planetarium because it's where they shared their first kiss and then we headed over to Lincoln Park Conservatory and the Lily Pond. They are a gorgeous couple who were so easy to photograph. I can't wait for their wedding in a couple of weeks!
The Diaz family is so much fun to photograph. I was lucky enough to photograph Martha for her maternity portraits and always enjoy working with the Diaz's and playing around on North Avenue Beach this summer was no exception. The weather was awesome and they were completely adorable.
On this rainy, overcast weekend I decided to post images from sunny summer days from just a few short weeks ago. Ainslie and Nolan were a blast to run around North Avenue Beach with. They both had birthdays recently and were about to have a big party to celebrate. They are absolutely adorable and so much fun to play around with.
