Steve had one of the nicest fall days we have had all season for his session. It was a great afternoon spent at two very different locations. He even played his guitar for me while I was shooting!! THAT was a session highlight!! He is a VERY talented guitar player!! Thanks for a wonderful session!

**Be prepared for an overload of images!!!!!!**

This session was incredible. Words cannot describe how much I love this girl. Since she knows, and frankly, you may just not care – I’ll leave the gushing between the two of us and allow the images to speak for themselves. Kenz and I go way back, and I was honored and beyond excited to get to shoot her senior photos.

Do you ever play that game, where you try to assemble the perfect person with a variety of traits from people? Like, take Adriana Lima’s eyes, and put them with Scarlett Johansson’s nose, along with Kim Kardashian’s hair, and so on until you have assembled the seemingly uber perfect person? Well, if you ever play with me, I’ll call Kenzie’s lips. They are perfection. And, that means game over – I’ve won. lol

Senior Twins!

I was really looking forward to photographing these soon-to-be senior sisters. I met them last year at a friend’s birthday party, and I was correct in remembering how sweet they were! They’re also extremely photogenic! This session was a breeze! Thanks so much for a great session. You two were incredibly flawless, especially considering how stinkin’ hot and humid it was yesterday!

Hey girls, it worked! We were trying to recreate a photograph from when they were little. They even had the same bags from way back when! How cute!!

This is how it looked at the Dunes last night. It was as if the sky had split apart, just to shine golden rays down onto Chicago. It was totally magical. I’m so glad I was there to see this. I was also glad we got there just in time to miss the rain! :)

The Dancer

This kid is amazing. He’s not exactly a kid anymore, as he just turned 18 (check out the sweet tat on his calf). He will be a senior at Kouts High School this fall, and he job shadowed me during last school year. Not only is he an awe-inspiring dancer, he is on his way to becoming quite the accomplished photographer. The photo he took of his friend, Kara, won the free senior session contest held earlier this year. If you are a senior that has a true passion for something, and you are looking for unique, beautiful senior photos – hit me up! I was in pure heaven photographing something this unique and bold. I’m so glad Chris asked me to come to his studio for the session.

Here are just a few of my favorites….

Loving the Warm Weather!

I’m SO glad we decided to move this session back one day. Saturday was rainy and dark, but Sunday was the perfect afternoon for this senior’s session. Isn’t she gorgeous??? And this land – AMAZING!!! I had such a great time. I hope you both LOVE the images!!
