The flag is flying, the smoker is ready for ribs, and I am about to attempt to make my aunt’s famous baked beans. We are ready. Be safe, and have fun this 4th, everyone!
Holly says bring on the fireworks!

As Katie says: “Do not mess with my schedule.”
Man, I love birdcage veils!
I love seeing everyone’s faces when those doors open:
We were on our way to get bride/groom portraits when it was decided that a Coke break was in order:
Check out the butterfly!
This is one of my favorite photos, ever I think. Look at all that chaos in the background. Kids are awesome.
Emily and Chad, thank you so much for letting me capture your big day! I had so much fun.
P.S. A huge thanks also goes to Melissa for assisting!
I was so excited when Josh got the opportunity to visit Chicago for work and I got to piggy-back on his trip. I met up with him when his training was done, and we had a blast.
We stayed at the Hard Rock Hotel, which was pretty awesome. Do not, however, order the room service.
THIS cost me $24. They are lucky I was still carsick from the ride over…Nasty. Bread so stale I almost broke a tooth.
The first place we visited was Kuma’s Corner to enjoy some of their awesome burgers:
I tell Josh this is his “Entourage” picture:
Josh got this shot while standing in one of the crazy glass boxes on the 103rd floor of the Sears (Willis) Tower:
The Ferris Wheel at Navy Pier:
This thing is so high up!
So, I’m not scared at all! Or, whatever. I’m breezy.
Josh says: “The Married With Children fountain.” I wasn’t allowed to watch such filth as a child, so I am ignorant to the pop culture relevance
We are still recovering from our whirlwind trip to Chicago, but we had a blast! I can’t wait to dig the camera out from wherever it is currently buried and pull up all the photos we shot. Until then, how about an iPhone photo collage of some of the highlights?
Row 1: (1) My view from the airport shuttle as we drove into the city (before I got carsick, bleh!), (2) enjoying a DELICIOUS YOB burger at Kuma’s Corner (Smoked Gouda, Bacon, Roasted Red Peppers, Roasted Garlic Mayo), (3 & 4) Josh and I attempt to get shots from the 103rd floor of the Willis Tower that are non-silhouette-y. No dice.
Row 2: (1) Our feet in the glass box of the Sky Deck at Willis Tower, looking down 1,353 feet, (2 & 3) Josh on the Ferris Wheel at Navy Pier, (4) skyline from the Ferris Wheel at Navy Pier
Row 3: (1) Josh on the Ferris Wheel again – can’t wait to hear what he was saying on the Flip camera. I was not paying attention! (2) skyline and Lake Michigan as seen from a beachside dog park. Sadly, Holly wasn’t with us :( (3) Lake Michigan, (4) Wrigley Field
Row 4: (1) I got so hot on the way to Wrigley Field that I broke down and bought an ice cream type substance and actually enjoyed it (yeah, I’m weird. Don’t like ice cream.), (2&3) about to see Sue the T-Rex in 3D. Apparently my glasses shoot lasers? (4) Running into the Chicago Theatre just before showtime to see Denis Leary live
Another sneak peek for Emily and Chad! I loved Emily’s veil and necklace.
Full wedding post to come!
Some super fun wedding posts to come, VERY soon! Emily and Chad, don’t worry, your sneak peek is on the way!
Today I got to try my hand at product photography, and let me just say, I LOVE IT! This was such a fun project. I love my job.
These frames are designed by two of our school’s alumni who just happen to be the designers of several of the pairs of glasses that Randy Jackson has worn on American Idol. I love them! They are so funky and fun.
I gotta admit, I am kind of coveting this pair. The Gladys:
They even do frames for kids:
How adorable are these Harry Potter-esque glasses?
This shoot was SO fun! Chad and Emily were up for anything, even climbing over barbed wire and sitting in the dirt! I think it was totally worth it. These are some of my favorite engagement photos yet:
Huge thanks to The Old Millington Winery for giving us full reign of their grounds and letting us climb all over their stuff! They also gave us wine! It was delicious! If you’re in the area, pay the winery a visit, they have live music almost every Sunday afternoon!
