Ryan and Laura
An Engagement Session
Bloomington, IL
May 30, 2009
_______________

Laura is my third cousin (at least, I believe that's the technical description for our relation). She's an absolutely beautiful woman, who has found the perfect partner to spend the rest of her life with. Seeing the way that these two interacted with each other (and the way that Ryan interacted with the family) was an experience that could only make you smile and wish for the same.

After more than 6 years of dating, these two FINALLY got engaged! I truly had a fantastic time working with both of you! Congratulations again! :)

I have many thank you's that I would like to send along to Trent Reznor for the relaxed camera policy at Friday night's show in Chicago. It was because of this policy that I was able to bring my professional camera in, AND enjoy the show from the rail the ENTIRE time :)

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!

The musicianship among both Nine Inch Nails and their opening band, Street Sweeper Social Club (former Rage Against the Machine's guitarist, Tom Morello) was certainly a sight to see and a deafening sound to hear (perhaps because I stood by the sound units without earplugs in...). The energy that each of the bands delivered on stage was EXACTLY what I expect from every rock show experience.

A thousand thank you's for the many smiles and amazing songs played - it was VERY much needed and appreciated!!
