**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 

Oh, and did they ever!  These girls are my senior rockstars.  They have opted for the 4 seasons senior shoot (see details on my website), so this is now our 3rd shoot since August.  This time they opted to have their session together, and while it was *frigid*, we managed to have a lot of fun and rock out photos like these below.  I used some flash during this session (gasp! lol).  I am primarily a natural light photographer, but with seniors and newborns it is often really fun to break out some cool lighting tricks – and this was the perfect session to do that.  I present – Jess and Jess, Winter 09.  

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!  :)

I was very excited to be asked to document pre-prom for this GORGEOUS couple! Taylor (and her dress AND shoes) were stunning! Ricky may be the most polite senior boy I have ever met. No wonder Taylor’s Mom loves him so much! I hope you two had a great time! Watch for Taylor’s upcoming beach model shoot. Can’t wait!

Ok, I finally figured out how to post the actual video here. Woot! Check out Tabby’s new hair, my new studio shots, and the new slideshow application that I will be offering to Seniors for their myspace, facebook, ipods, etc….
