Cemetery Lovin'...

When I first heard that they wanted their wedding portraits in a local cemetery I must admit I was a tad apprehesive. Don't get me wrong, we've made old school locker rooms look like the hilton and dirty alleys look one step off the run-way but still...A cemetery? Uh YES a cemetery! It was awesome! It's as if we took a detour past the headstones and walked straight into an english garden. To top it off the bride and groom couldn't be cuter. After knowing the groom for many years I'm so glad to see he's found a bride that so obviously adores him. (:

Improv & Improve...

I probably couldn't count how many times I've shot at Millennium Park. There's a novelty to that in I know what will and won't work, where my light will be, technical, technical, technical. But then came this fun and spontaneous couple Joe & Erin... From dance parties, hot dog carts, to one improve scenario to the next they brought life back into the spot and it inspired me. So much so that even when I edited the pics I wanted to try something new. I've been wanting to make a film-type reel for quite some time but I finally sat down and figured it out. And I'm glad I did! From the photoshoot to the editing a little improve and be a great improvement.

Milestones...

Coming from a girl that plans birthday's nearly 6 months in advance you could say I'm a fan of celebrations. Even more than that I love celebrating milestones in peoples lives. Most recently a huge milestone for Jason & Nicole is the birth of their first little one, Julia. I got to be there merely hours after she was born to capture her first moments. Pretty amazing...And just this past week during mother's day (Nicole's first as a momma, que milestone) I got to take pictures of Julia and the family just after her Christening. (Again, que milestone) It's a really sweet thought to think that I got to be a small part of some really big days in this families life. Can't wait for the next celebration of something great for them.
