Fireworks!!

When I sat down with this bride back in March, I got goosebumps when she shared her story with me. She stressed the importance of the fireworks at the festival, and how all she wanted was a picture of her and her husband watching the fireworks. I envisioned the shot I wanted for months, and with dedication, skill (and a bit of luck!) I managed to make it happen for her, and for me! I also got a couple other good ones too.....take a look!

True love never dies

I had the opportunity to capture a very special wedding recently. This happy couple attended highschool together many years ago, the each married and had children, and were reunited a couple years ago over a tragic event. This reunion sparked something between the two, and even though they live at opposite sides of the country, they didn't let that stop them from falling in love. They set aside an aisle special for those who were loved and lost, and also lit some candles in their memory. This ceremony was very sentimental to all involved, and turned out to be an amazing event!

Family Pics

I was asked to get some photos of two beautiful little girls, and the youngest one just wasn't having it! She was absolutely adorable, and I think that I got some great pics on her bad day, however we tried it again on day two, and managed to pull off some more great ones! Big sister was a total trooper, and extremely cooperative, making this two day shoot a breeze! Enjoy!!

Maternity Shoot

Last fall, I photographed this couple's wedding, and it truly was a beautiful event. The way that they looked at eachother all day, you could tell they were in love.
Not too long after, I come to find out that they are expecting! I made it back up to Canada over my daughter's spring break and took some time to capture their little miracle in the making. Named after mom's late sister, little Elizabeth Candace is already loved by so many! Congratulations you guys! I can't wait to meet your precious princess!!

Twins boys

I've been blessed with some wonderful friends! Earlier today a friend of mine brought her 6 month old twin boys over and we had some fun with the camera! Take a look at these little darlings, they are just adorable!

Spring has sprung!

I was so excited the other day when I saw tiny little spurts of green in my garden. Spring is coming! I can hardly wait for the fresh smell of spring in the air, it's definitly one of the benefits of living in the midwest and experiencing the changing seasons. With the launch of my new site, and some dedication to promoting my business on the web, I have booked four weddings for 2010, and the leads are still coming in! This is so amazing and far exceeds my goals for 2010, 2011 is going to be even better, I can feel it! I have some availability for June and August yet, but July and May are booking up quick! I will be at the Bridal Expo in Wheeling, IL on May 15th promoting my business and hopefully making some new connections with brides for 2011. Visit http://www.bridalexpochicago.com/ for more details! Over the past week-end, I was lucky to have a newly engaged couple in my home studio for some cute engagement photos. I'll share a few of the favorites here.

New Website

Alright, I've got a new website up and running with the help of my friend Laura! Go check it out, it's beautiful!!
In the meantime, here are some recent shots from a photo shoot I did over the week-end of a cutie-pie! He is a very serious 18month old boy, but once you get him going, he's a ham!
