It’s my first post on the new blog!

I wanted to start by sharing some images from an engagement session that I did for my dear friends, Lindsay and Jeff. These were captured over two (very windy) days in Chicago.  The second day being my favorite of the two because Lindsay and Jeff brought their  Bernese Mountain Dog puppy, Staley! He’s too adorable.

The first day, we revisited the location where Jeff proposed- The Gazebo outside of the Drake Hotel… such a cool/romantic spot. Then, we got a few shots at the bar inside the Hotel (not those kind of shots, although we did get a cocktail) 😉

I am actually Lindsay’s Matron of Honor  (M.O.H. as I like to call it) so I will not be shooting their wedding. They are in great hands with Jay Crihfield who is doing the wedding photography. I’ll probably sneak in a few shots though… can’t wait to be a part of their amazing day!

I’m looking forward to blogging future sessions, weddings, and concerts along with just everyday thoughts/pics. I’m not much of a writer, but we’ll see how it goes! I’m such a fan of following other photographers’ blogs, and this is what inspired me to start one.  Plus, I’m super excited to kick off the 2011 wedding season with this new and improved way to showcase my favorite images… Facebook just doesn’t do them justice!

Also, I should thank my husband, Ryan, for helping me set this blog up…. it’s so convenient to have a techy person around for these kinds of things 🙂

Here’s some from Lindsay and Jeff’s session…
