Summer *Senior Pictures*

I had a ton of fun on probably one of the last beautiful days this fall with Summer S. and taking her Senior pictures! I got to try some things that I hadn't done before, like taking pictures in a corn field AND on a railroad track! Both SO fun. We worked in a lot of different poses too. She is a beautiful young lady and I truly hope she enjoys these pictures! Plus, she taught me a thing or two... Like where my FILL FLASH was! :) hahaha!

Thomas Family

I couldn't have asked for more beautiful weather on Friday evening out at the Dunes! It was perfect lighting as the sun set over the lake to take picture of this fun family! I love the colors they chose to wear, and it was so fun taking these pictures! I got to practice some sunset pictures, and I was VERY happy with the way it came out! The sky was on fire, and this last picture is what it really looked like! It was amazing! Thanks Thomas family for letting me take your pictures! :)

Cheryl & Brian *Engagements*

What a fun couple to take pictures of! Again, it was a very windy day out at the dunes, but I got some beautiful shots of this gorgeous couple! They are friends of mine from church, and I'm so happy they asked me to create some memories for them! The lighting was great! They are very in love, which makes the pictures even more real! I love it! Thanks for letting me do this for you Cheryl and Brian!

(I LOVE how Chicago skyline was CRYSTAL clear on Labor Day!)

The Sorensen Family

Although and extremely windy day at the dunes, I still got some amazing photos (in my opinion) of this family! It was a beautiful Labor Day, and the lighting was just perfect! I had a lot of fun taking pictures of this family, because I have never worked with this many people! They were very cooperative, and all very beautiful and photogenic! I hope they like them, despite a few of them have their hair 'blowin in the wind'! (Especially the Dad!) hah! Just kidding, Tony!

My Niece - Noelle Mallery

I got to play with my Niece, Noelle, a little bit today! It was a beautiful day for taking pictures, and she was in a very good mood! It's more work than you think getting good pictures of little kids and babies! Noelle is now 4 months old, so she can't quite sit up on her own yet, so I used some props and things (thanks to her mommy and some advice from my other photography friends) and we got some great shots! I love this little lady and I can not stand how cute she is! A true pleasure! Plus, it's for my brother and wife, so I would do anything for them! :)
