Steve & Marlene
Save the Date Session
February 13, 2010
_______________

I knew Steve from back in high school (I'm starting to feel old, as this year marks 10 years since graduating!), and when he asked me to photograph his wedding, I was quite honored. I KNOW it's going to be a fun day!

Steve and his lovely fiance, Marlene, dropped by Saturday to take a few quick photos for their save the date cards. We'll be doing a more in-depth engagement session as soon as the weather warms up, but for now, here's what we got!

Joe & Sarah's Engagement

Cantigny Park - Winfield, IL

November 1, 2009

________________

This afternoon, I spent a bit of time with Joe and Sarah at Cantigny. Joe and I went to the same grade school and high school, and became reconnected when he proposed to his lovely fiance. We had a fantastic time roaming the grounds of the park, playing in leaves, and just laughing while we snapped a few photos.

After working with them today, I can already tell that their wedding is going to be a lot of fun and memorable. I'm very much looking forward to the wedding, you two!! Hope to see you before then, of course!

Chris and Laura
Their Engagement Session
August 2, 2009
____________

Well, I've done it again. I've managed to become incredibly fond of my clients and have begun an amazing friendship with them BEFORE the wedding! Chris and Laura are absolutely amazing, fun, sweet, beautiful, and thoughtful people (and that doesn't even begin to describe them).

We headed over to Cantigny park in Winfield, IL to shoot their engagement session and ended up sidetracking in conversation rather than taking pictures on several occasions. Chris shared with me his wealth of knowledge on so many different things, and even introduced a brand new light that I plan on having in hand VERY soon for my photography. I'm SO excited about it!

The three of us went out to dinner afterward - it's as though we'd been friends for ages - I LOVE these two!!!

Congrats Chris and Laura! Thank you SO much for everything yesterday - you made me smile so much! I'll see you at your wedding AND after that too of course!

xoxo

I even joined the fun in playing with shadows - I'm the shadow to the right :)

Frank and Mary Jo
An Engagement Session

Frank and Mary Jo have got to be two of the sweetest people you could ever hope to meet. They have a unique bond, and show an extra amount of care towards one another that I've really never seen. I'm so lucky that they found me to be their photographer, especially since Mary Jo's brother is a very talented photographer (Jay Crihfield - Mary Jo decided she wants her brother to enjoy the day!).

These two have been so supportive of everything I've done, whether it be my career or even my personal life. It's such a blessing to make new friends through doing what I love the most. I cannot wait until their wedding day!
