I love overcast days in Chicago. They remind me of home (Seattle). Nikki and Brandon are a really fun couple and I'm so glad they were such good sports. We did have to cut out early due to the rain, but we managed to get some great shots in!

Chicago weather was not cooperating for these two for several weekends, but finally we had a perfectly overcast morning. We went up to the Botanical Gardens and it was a gorgeous backdrop for their engagement pictures. I really liked photography these guys, they were humble and sweet and super laid back.

It's taken me a long time to get to the point where I can spell their last name without looking at my phone. Look at this adorable Chicago family. We went around the Lincoln Park neighborhood to take these shots and then over to Oz park. It was cold, windy and totally May. They were troopers and we did manage to get some great photos despite the chill. I love Oliver's Michael Jackson pose at the top. He didn't know he just pulled an amazing dance move. As you can see has great energy for the camera. You can always count on four year olds for that.

Kyle and Olivia

Downtown Chicago provides an abundant array of photo worthy back drops. I loved photographing theses two all around downtown. Congratulations Kyle and Olivia!

Thinkin' my thoughts

Baby Jacob

This is Baby Jacob and he is happy all the time! He was a joy to photograph and it was hard to keep up with all his happy movements! But I got a lot of great smiles in. Look at that face!

Chiltons!!

Love these people.
