Lynda and Eric – Engagement

After exchanging many emails with Lynda about her engagement session, I knew it was going to be a blast! Of course, it was ;) Lynda and Eric were so natural in front of the camera and their love shines through in EVERY image. We had the wonderful opportunity of shooting their engagement photos at “Salvation One” in Chicago, IL. If you have never heard of it, you must check it out! It was definitely a great place filled creative props to use during this session! Anyways, thanks so much to Lynda and Eric for going along with my crazy ideas :)


“E” is for Eric and “L” is for Lynda

Spirit of Space

When Adam contacted me about taking candid photos of him and his business partners, I was more than excited! As soon as I got to their office in downtown Chicago, I knew this shoot was going to not only be a blast, but inspiring. They each have such  a passion for what they do and I KNOW you will see their creativity shine through in these photos. To see the brilliant and inspiring film/art they create, go to : http://www.spiritofspace.com/

It is shoots like these that I have to sit back and remind myself just how lucky I am…

Thanks for checking it out ;)

Birthday Blog

I celebrated my birthday this past weekend with some close family and friends and it was so much fun! However, I was HORRIBLE at capturing my birthday event because I was too busy laughing and having fun :) So here are a couple photos  I took and then some from my friends point and shoot ;)

Also, thanks to everyone who came over for my birthday! It meant the world to me and I had a blast!

Turning 21…

I wanted to make a fun and more personal post about how I feel about starting a new chapter in my life. My idea was just to blog about it, but then I ended up having my own little photo session, which was a lot of fun! Anyways, on February 14, (this Sunday) I turn 21. YES, the BIG 21!! If you were to see my reaction of how I felt about this a couple months ago, this is pretty much what it would look like.

The reason I felt this way was because a new birthday meant that I am growing up and things were changing. If I could stay a kid forever, I WOULD (haha), but I can’t and I have learned to except that. Actually, I am not only excepted it, but I have become excited about it! I can finally do everything I want, but rent a car! ha, not the only perk, but that is a nice feeling to have ;) Turning 21 means that I am an adult with new responsibilities and new opportunities.
This year, all I want is to be with people in my life who I genuinely care about and who genuinely care about me. As I get older I want to not only build stronger friendships with those whom I am already friends with, but to start new ones as well. So, now that you know my positive attitude about getting older, here are the fun photos :)

And what is a birthday without Jack ? haha!

Just a fun present from a friend … Thanks Stephanie ;)

Super Bowl Sunday

This year for the super bowl I ended up not going home and stayed back at my apartment in the city. I did not even turn on the TV, haha. Instead I grabbed my camera and Ipod, and left to go do some shooting near Michigan Avenue. It was such a great chance for me to spend time with ME. Sometimes I get so caught up with people and distractions around me, that I never take the time to be alone and reflect on my life and the environment around me. Anyways, Here is what I did today ;)

Woke up and drank some delicious tea <3 .

Time for dinner …. :)

Happy Super Bowl Sunday ;)
