Oh how I love this city…just a random pic taken after Eva + John’s engagement session this Sunday. Be prepared Chicago…you’re in for a world of crazy when my mom, Grandma, and aunt get here tomorrow. 😉 Until then, I’m spending the day cleaning and doing a few odds and ends sorts of things so […]

My sister is pretty…pretty fricken AWESOME! 😉 And yes, she is pretty too, though I think pretty doesn’t begin to describe her. She is BEAUTIFUL!! Inside and out, and I am so lucky to have such a wonderful sister. Whenever I’ve decided to go out scouting for locations, she’s always been right there offering to […]

A few months back, Patrick and I found ourselves in Beaver Creek, Colorado in the midst of an epic family vacation. You might think using the term “epic” is a little overkill but anytime you get can me climbing mountains, navigating whitewater rapids, and exploring alpine forests there’s a good chance a story will emerge. {Just ignore, for the moment, the fact […]

Jordanne had mentioned to me that she wanted some photos of her and Ryan and I just so happened to have the day off…here’s a little sneak peek from our impromptu session yesterday afternoon. Sorry for making you late to school though Ryan… Eeek!! Enjoy!!  

Well. I think the past 9 + 1/2 years have finally worn me down. Eroded the surface. Molded me. Created…a monster. I sit here on the Friday before the first ND football game of the 2011 season, blogging not about some fun photos I’ve recently taken or a vacation I went on last month. No. […]

It’s a rare occasion that I actually get to be infront of the camera instead of behind it, so when Patrick suggested we get dressed up to scout/try out some fun new locations I jumped at the opportunity! Of course he’ll tell you that I was terrible at taking his directions, mostly because I felt […]

A few weeks back, Patrick and I traveled to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan to attend my cousin’s wedding. And if 9 years of being together has taught me anything, it’s that Patrick can’t go anywhere without getting into trouble… 😉 Don’t worry –  not real trouble – he just likes to take the road less traveled. So a […]

I’ve been living here in Chicago for over a year now, and Patrick, for over 4, so about a month ago we decided that since neither of us had ever been to Navy Pier, we should just go. So here are a few pics that I snapped that I am finally getting around to blogging. […]

We were driving back to Chicago when I saw this AMAZING old truck in a field and was like OMG that truck is AWESOME…Patrick said, “Do you want me to stop?” And after another mile I decided I just could NOT pass up the opportunity for yet another impromptu session. We waded through waist high […]

As I stated in my previous post, I had a wonderful weekend getting to enjoy the company of my husband’s family at their cottage in Michigan. His grandparents just finished a GORGEOUS renovation on their cottage – expanding to accommodate their ever expanding family (3 new great-grandchildren in the past month!). His grandma, grandpa, and […]
