Kohler Wedding: Claire and Dave

Claire and Dave’s wedding at Riverbend in Kohler, Wisconsin was so beautiful. What I loved best about the day was how genuinely happy Claire and Dave were in all of their photos (well, except for that time at the altar when Dave was starting to lose it and Claire rescued him with her hanky).

According to Claire:

“Much to my surprise, Dave asked me to marry him at the top of the observation tower at the Sheboygan Marsh, in Wisconsin on June 30, 2012. Dave wanted my father, who is no longer with us, to be a part of the day, at least in spirit. There is a step on the tower dedicated to my Dad and Uncle Gus. Dave had wanted to propose on the step; but, as luck would have it, the step was at the bottom and he chickened out. We climbed the 144 steps to the top and the rest is history.”

I was very lucky to have my Revealed Studios partner, Maggie Rife Ponce, as my second photographer that day.

Claire and Dave, we wish you the very best!

Chicago Family Portraits: Tom, Dillon, Dudley and Isabelle

Being part of a three-dog family myself, it was such a pleasure photographing Tom and Dillon and their pugs, Dudley and Isabelle. I wanted to keep chanting “waddle, waddle, waddle” when Dudley and Isabelle strutted their stuff. *Sigh* I love me some well-behaved pugs. They are soooo cute with their scrunched up noses. Speaking of cute, Tom and Dillon are pretty cute themselves. What a handsome family!

Maternity Portraits: Tiffany and Josh

I photographed Tiffany and Josh’s wedding three years ago. I love when I get to see my wedding clients’ families grow. Tiffany is one beautiful mama-to-be and Josh couldn’t be more excited.

Congrats!

Chicago Newborn Portraits-Ezra

Sweet newborn Ezra is on his way to rock stardom with his beautiful red mohawk. He was so wide-eyed and alert. I especially love Ezra’s frog outfit and his subsequent froggie face.

Congrats on being born! You were very much wanted.

Ruth Lake Country Club Spring Wedding

I have had the fortune to photograph Barbara several times, including a photo shoot with her mother at my women portrait studio, Revealed Studios. She’s a wonderful person with many talents, including singing. One of my fave moments of her wedding day was when she surprised her groom, Chris, with a duet with the lead of the Michael Walters Orchestra while she danced with Chris.

It’s so wonderful to see Barbara with such a gentleman and sweetie like Chris. Congrats you two!

Venue: Ruth Lake Country Club in Hinsdale, IL

Evanston Child Portraits: Maddy and Henry

What a delight photographing children, Maddy and Henry. Maddy was full of typical three-year-old energy and little Henry was so sweet and adorable. Maddy’s sheer delight and determination while riding her new scooter was a blast to capture. A fun day had by all.

Claire and Dave’s wedding is just around the corner, and we had a lot of fun during their engagement session with their adorable lab mix, Payton. Nothing like gorgeous sunlight, adorable animals and a stellar couple to make my day fab.

Soooo excited for your wedding, Claire and Dave!

First Birthday Child Portraits: Luke

Spring is finally here, and I’ve come out of my internet hibernation. During the winter, I’ve been quite busy with my sister company, Revealed Studios. You should totally check it out. We do fantastic Mother’s Day portraits, if I say so myself. :)

I tell ya, Luke is such a cutie pie, and I love witnessing his growing up, especially with his mommy’s impecable styling. Gotta love his bicycle pants.

Happy First Birthday, Luke!

Happy Valentine’s Day

Hopefully you and your honey can run away to somewhere special today. (A nice restaurant is totally acceptable, of course.)

Instead of roses, my husband bought me more personal training sessions, per my request of course. It’s the gift that both he and I can benefit from. :)
