A Maine mini session with Janna and Joel

My other sister Janna and her boyfriend Joel also stopped by for a visit at Becca and Kyle's house while I was there. More portraits!





This was the first time I was able to see Janna's tattoo in completion

Jen and Mike's engagement

Just before I moved to NYC I spent a beautiful morning with Jen and Mike in downtown Chicago for their engagement portrait session.





I saw this bike rack and thought it would be cute to have them sit in it, not realizing exactly how super tiny each opening was. So this is them attempting to squeeze themselves in. Thanks for playing along!










sweet!






Awesome dinosaur sculpture in Millennium Park

Sarah and Bob

I love to do "just because" portrait sessions with couples. You don't ever need a particular event to set up portraits! I spent time with Sarah and Bob at their house downtown, then explored Michigan Ave with them.

I love the lines of this shot


We roped their cat Annie into a few of the shots.


Bob's expression is great here!

Karen + Bryan = 3

My good friends Karen and Bryan are expecting their first little munchkin, and I'm so happy for them! Can't wait to meet the little one, you two!

There was lots of laughter


lots...




Bryan the model, show us how it's done






So Karen and I share a love of fun socks (I don't ever wear plain colored socks), and I was quite impressed with her selection for the day.

Becca and Kyle

I had wonderful visit with my sister Becca and her boyfriend Kyle a few weeks back. I took them on a little walk around my neighborhood for some fun photos.

Aww... aren't they cute?












I love this little series
