Second Shooting with Laura!

It seems like these are really hard to fold because most people have problems with them!











I shot with the fabulous Laura Meyer on Friday. I got to hang with the boys before hand and all of them were from Ireland! Woot! They were a lot of fun and I learned what a cement mixer is and NEVER to order one.

Cris and Michelle's Engagement Session!

Cris and Michelle's wedding is coming up soon in May and thankfully we got in the engagement session in right before the SNOW! It was pretty cold out and by the end the jackets stayed on, but the still look pretty adorable! The wind was brutal, but in the woods wasn't so bad. Busse woods is a great location to shoot at too!

Zoo

This guy rocked. He totally sat there staring at me until I was done. Haha. He is definitely a poser ;)







This guy was sunning himself. Sea lions make the weirdest noise. It isn't pretty. They got in a bit of a feud, but eventually made up.



I went to Bloomington Normal this weekend to visit a friend in Grad School and who wouldn't want to go to the zoo. Another great engagement session location. They have some cool colors going on.

Simplicity in Chicago

So I'm not sure where I stand on the anatomically correct lions in from of the Art Institute. It would be super weird if they weren't, but yet it is super weird that they are. What is your opinion?



These are some more images that I took on the Chicago trip! We went on St. Patty's Day and it was fun to see everyone in green.

Grandma Chicago Project

I went with my mom and grandma to Chicago and we went to her old neighborhood. It was just an amazing experience since my grandma doesn't usually tell that many stories, which is totally opposite of the stereotypes. The shot through the fence was at her old elementary school where they let us walk around. A lot has changed and I kept thinking everything looked so old, but I guess it was just old to me. Haha. It was hysterical to walk through that hallways and have all the kids staring at us as we passed. New blood is how I see it. We are planning a trip up to Minocqua, so I can continue what I am calling "The Grandma Project".

Here's some more from her old school:










If you haven't noticed my grandma wants details and lots of black and white! It will look pretty cool on her walls.

Chicago in Bloom

After so many failures I finally figured out how to post larger images! Now I'm so ashamed of my itty bitty images ;) Hope everyone enjoys the new layout!

I love the kids at weddings!

They are such hams, but amusing to photograph!  When all the parents are sitting down mingling the kids are having a great time running around the reception.  There is never a dull moment at a wedding because someone can always keep you entertained!
