Sarah's Session
April 19, 2009
______________

Sarah contacted me to do a session with her for a contest she wants to enter. She came by last Sunday to do the shoot, and we ended up laughing so much - it was great :) Photo shoots of this nature are always a little awkward at first, but I have found that by the end, both the photographer and the model become relaxed and achieve the results that they truly desire.

Thanks so much, Sarah, for the great session and for permission to post these photos online :)

Beth's Maternity Shoot
April 13, 2009
____________

Today I spent a bit of time with Beth and her unborn baby :) We had a great time taking pictures together, and even took a few bare belly shots that turned out super cute. Out of privacy to Beth, however, those few shots will remain unseen here on the blog.

In the meantime, here are a few shots from this afternoon.

Thanks again, Beth, for having me come out today!!

Tony & Jen
April 4, 2009
____________

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of photographing Tony and Jen's wedding. Their humor filled ceremony took place at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church in Darien, IL. We headed over to the Morton Arboretum just after the ceremony for a few photos, and then headed to their fairy-tale reception at the Abbington in Glen Ellyn, IL.

Tony and Jen, I wish you both the best of luck, and a lifetime filled with love, laughter and happiness together.

New Chapter, New Look

We've all had it happen.. well, most of us anyway... been dumped by what you thought was the love of your life for no real reason, and then find out that your ex has moved on almost instantly with their friend... only to find out that you had been an IDIOT and they had in fact been cheating on you with that person for GOD KNOWS how long. Pig.

Another cheater, another broken piece to try to pick up. I can only hope that what goes around truly will come around.

My way of dealing hasn't been the healthiest, but I am trying. While I didn't quite pull a Britney, I DID hack off my hair. I'm planning on doing a series of self portraits throughout the year as a side project. Here are a few really quick snapshots for now...
