Carli and Spencer wanted to do a wintertime e-shoot - and as soon as they mentioned making s'mores, I knew it would be a blast! Carli's family has a beautiful home in Barton Hills (complete with fire pit!) that served as the perfect location
so this next one I just couldn't resist ;-) Carli and Spencer mentioned they were having an 'ugly christmas sweater' contest - check these bad boys out!
thanks guys! can't wait to work together again at the wedding ;-)

The second picture in the field, with the flowers and the buildings in the background, is absolute perfection. I can't imagine a better engagement photo!

Thank you Heather & Adelle.
I love them too. I must add that they are of my son & my beautiful future daughter-in-law. What a treasure & a memory.
How lucky am I.

here's some favorites from a recent e-shoot with ryan and megan - they are an adorable couple - plus, megan is a dead ringer for january jones, and I love me some mad men!! so excited to shoot their wedding this may!
we actually did this shoot on a really yucky, rainy day - but they were only in michigan for the weekend so we really didn't want to reschedule. It just goes to show that you can make great images in ANY weather!
I'll start with one of my favorites (and, coincidentally, one of the last images we snapped!). I've always loved this wall - and it is just SICK right now covered in gorgeous fall colors
Enjoy!

these next two are what I jokingly call ''newspaper announcement photos". In wedding photography nowadays, there's so much emphasis on being creative and different...which is fantastic, but I think sometimes we forget to just take nice, 'normal' portraits, too. I truly believe that the ability to compose and capture beautiful, timeless, well-lit portraits is crucial for any photographer. While I typically chose to feature my less traditional imagery, I always try and remember to grab a few like this at every session....
Enjoy!

enjoy the peek!
on a more general blogging note - i am absolutely swamped with shooting and editing right now! while I love sharing images on the blog, my first priority has to be delivering for my clients - so, if you're waiting and wondering why your session hasn't been featured yet - hang in there! I'm working like mad to get everyone's images to them - all will be blogged eventually ;-)
