Katie | Senior Portraits

The weather was pretty darn insulting in the morning, but after a nasty front blew through, it turned out to be a gorgeous day for picture taking. Bright blue skies, enough wind to add some life, and temperatures just about right so that the photographer didn't overheat, haha.

We got to explore the beautiful campus of Culver Military Academy, and took full advantage of all the cool landscapes and architecture there. Katie is a stunning young woman, and we had a pretty good time with this session. What an amazing opportunity to work with an intelligent, lovely lady - good luck in your senior year Katie! I hope these pictures help you remember your time at Culver for years to come.

Dan & Rebecca | 7.3.2010

So, I've been a bit tardy in getting new pictures up from the last half of my 2010 weddings. Keeping up with proof books, albums, DVD's, and orders is a lot of work! Timely progress takes priority with me, so it's only now that I'm having some spare time to play and get some new stuff up!

This was Dan and Rebecca's wedding from this summer. They had a gorgeous day for their ceremony, and Rebecca was a gorgeous bride. They were such a fun couple, and their wedding party cracked me up. I was honored to be part of such a fun, lighthearted group!

Jeff & Tina | 9.24.2010

Jeff and Tina had an absolutely beautiful day for their wedding. It threatened rain in the morning, and even spit a few drops, but by when it was time for the ceremony, the clouds broke and the beautiful sun peeked through to warm their day. Their setting was beautiful Deep River County Park, but the real fun started after the ceremony.

Tina wanted to do some off the wall shots, so we ventured out to find some cool locations. We found a great park in a subdivision and some nearby railroad tracks where we shot some less than traditional poses. The pictures turned out great and as always it was great to work outside the box and have a little fun.

Congratulations Jeff and Tina - wishing the two of you many years of happiness.

Keneshia & Doug | E-Session

We had an absolutely PERFECT day shooting Keneshia and Doug's engagement session last weekend in Chicago! We actually had the session scheduled for a few weeks ago, but it was sweltering hot and there was a chance of rain, so we planned for another weekend. That proved to be a GREAT idea, because the weather was just perfect and we had a great time. Chicago is such a beautiful city and has just so much to offer, I'm pretty sure I could go there and shoot all day long.

So, attention 2011 brides! Keneshia and Doug are getting married in the summer, and NOW is the time to get your 2011 weddings booked! Another advantage to that it's highly advantageous for your engagement session. Keneshia and Doug planned early so when the weather wasn't perfect, we just rescheduled for a date when it was! Also, they had their choice of seasons for their engagement pictures, got them done early, and therefore aren't feeling the rush of getting things done in the last month before their big day!

Thanks, guys, this "country mouse" had a great time playing "city mouse" for an evening - a much needed break, and an opportunity to vent some creative energy! Enjoy!

Brad & Rachel | 7.24.2010

I had a lovely time shooting Brad and Rachel's wedding! Their engagement pictures were a blast - turning out some of my all time favorites, and it was finally time for their big day.

Their entire wedding party was awesome, their families were phenomenal, and the entire day was just perfect. Brad is such a funny guy, bringing smiles and laughter with him any where he goes. Rachel is just stunning, beautiful, smart, and just glowing this day in particular. Their smiles are contagious! Wishing you many more, guys! Enjoy your pictures, and thanks for including me in your celebration!

Mike & Nina | 8.7.2010

Ok. So I couldn't help it...

Mike and Nina got married YESTERDAY, but we went to Chicago after the luncheon/reception to take some of the most amazing photos to date...

I'll post some of the actual event later, but I couldn't resist getting these up A.S.A.P !!!!

Congratulations to a fantastic couple, on a beautiful day, allowing me to rekindle my love for THIS JOB!

Matt & Michelle | 6.19.2010

Matt and Michelle had an another absolutely perfect day for their wedding. I've gotten pretty darn lucky this year with weather! The ceremony was beautiful and we got to go to beautiful (reclaimed!) Wicker Park in Munster for pictures afterwards. It was especially cool that we got some after ceremony pics in there because that's where we took their engagement pictures, too. Great idea guys! The entire wedding party was so much fun, and they really added to the "light" feel of the pictures. Again, another great day, another great couple in love, and another beautiful wedding! I love this job! Enjoy some pics of their day... and once again, congratulations guys!
