Lisa and Tyson part II

Tyson and Lisa

I was originally asked by Lisa to photograph her wedding this past winter, but at the time, was planning on moving to S. Korea in August, so had to decline the offer.  Well, I find myself still in Chicago and had the great pleasure of shooting Tyson and Lisa's wedding.  Thank you guys so much for letting me be a part of your day/weekend.  You both looked amazing!  Here are the first few.  More to come in the next week.

Ben and Stacy

Just finished editing a few pics from my first solo wedding shoot.  Thanks again Ben and Stacy for letting me be a part of your day!   More to come in the next week or so.

Photoshoot for Dana Farella

It makes a huge difference when your subject actually enjoys being in front of the camera!  This was the first time where I actually didn't need to make my subject feel comfortable or tell stupid jokes to try and loosen the mood.  And I think I found my new favorite thing!!  I was contacted by Dana Farella, a senior at Columbia College, graduating in May with a Fashion Design major, to take the photographs for her thesis.  She has put an insane amount of time into the three pieces (sorry Dana if that is not the correct term) that were worn for the shoot and they are crazy creative.  We went out to a forest preserve in the suburbs of Chicago and had perfect weather.  I hope you enjoy the pictures Dana and thank you for allowing me to be a part everything.  And thank you to the model and make up artist, I think I had the easiest job that day!

Courtney's Maternity

My first maternity shoot!  After a reschedule, due to an extremely dark winter day, I took Courtney's maternity photos last weekend.  Here are a couple from the morning shoot.  I hope you like them Courtney!  I look forward to meeting baby Sydney.

Last week I went out and braved it in the Chicago snow to take pictures of my good friend, Lindsay.  She wanted some pictures to be able to give her family and boyfriend for Christmas.  I hope everyone likes your pics Lindsay!  Here are a couple from the snowy shoot.

Cosens Siblings

My parents told me they wanted a picture of all their children while we were all still in our 20's.  There is nothing like waiting until the 23rd to take pictures of your brother and sister.  But here are the Cosens Siblings!
