Kyle works at a bike shop. So when they told me they were bringing a couple to the shoot, I was so excited!! Props are always fun, especially when they represent something that is a big part of your lives together. I am not sure if Sam had ever kissed Kyle while riding a bike in 3 inch heels in the middle of a busy city street but, man she makes it look easy!

How adorable are these two?? I love all the fun….and life….and energy!

Sam, I love your all out laugh! It is just so contagious! If you were texting in this photo it would be a total LOL, for sure.

Hello gorgeousness!!!

I think if I were these two I would have to have this photo hanging somewhere…. so sweet and real.

New location, or as I like to call it “Low-kay” and new outfits!

Samantha and Kyle, I loved photographing your beautifulness and just getting to know you both! It was so awesome to hear you brag on each others talents and really see the love you have for each other. I cannot wait to have this much fun again on your wedding day! Hey, are we bringing the bikes back?? Hey! Maybe I will have my classic yellow schwinn cruiser by then with the banana boat seat and the silver honker thingy! I can totally bring it!

I hope this brought some joy to your Tuesday everyone! Today I am an email returning, editing machine. I also need to get Micah man ready for Kindergarten. You know what is NUTS!? He starts on the 18th of August. Doesn’t that sound a little early? I have a feeling I am going to be “that mom” at his school. You know, the mom that has to bring him his lunch because I forgot to send it with him. Or that Mom that walks into the school to drop him off in my slippers because I forgot I had them on when I left the house. I hope not but, I think that will be me. I received his school supply list in the mail and was SO excited because there is NOTHING better than shopping for school supplies and a new pair of tennis shoes for the year! I put it in a SUPER safe place because I knew it was really important and now I can’t find it. See, that Mom.

Ok, I am going to go look for that list. Wish me luck. Have a great day everyone!!!!

I was so excited to shoot in Chicago. Number 1, I love the city. Number 2, Pranav and Harpreet are super fun and I knew it would be a blast. Number 3, I have family close by so that is always a plus! It was a GORGEOUS day to shoot. I literally mean, PERFECT. It was the one beautiful day surrounded by a ton of incredibly hot and humid days so we were super stoked to not be melting during our photo adventure running around the city!! For those of you who live in the midwest, you know exactly what I mean. For those of you who live out west with no humidity, darn you.

We started the adventure on Michigan Avenue in downtown Chicago. With all the gorgeous buildings, speeding taxi’s and the hustle and bustle of the people, it was a perfect place to start!

As we hoofed it towards navy pier, we passed over a super cool bridge area and when I saw the backdrop and the light, I had to stop! Believe it or not there were a TON of people walking past us on this bridge and I literally took one shot between each person passing by!

We taxied it over to the planetarium where there was an incredible view of the city. While I was getting set up, Harpreet was being super adorable so I grabbed a shot!

Look at that water, so pretty! I love this moment….

……and this one…….

This one could very well be my fav!! I love everything about it!

We were loosing light fast. That sometimes happens to me as I tend to get carried away during my shoots so we were bookin’ it! But, on the way to the boat docks, I saw this HUGE macaroni noodle with the word “love” on it. I mean, how could anyone pass up the chance to photograph in front of a huge macaroni noodle?

All of the boat docks were locked up tight. SOOOOOO, it came in handy that a very nice man was willing to let us in for some photos!

These two are SO fabulous. Really…. they are two of the nicest people you will ever meet. The entire time I was genuinely loving hanging out with them. They are super in love and I know their wedding is just going to be amazing.

Harpreet, you are gorgeous!

This one could be my runner-up for the favorite spot!

As they were so kindly making sure I made it back to my car we grabbed a few fun shots in the street with all of the city lights! I love their happy energy in this photo!

Thank you guys for inviting me up to Chicago for such a fun evening of shooting and hanging out! It was fun popping in and out of taxi’s, walking under questionable bridges and attempting to get photos of you in front of a huge macaroni noodle while crazy children climbed above your heads!! HAHAHA! I loved every bit of it and I cannot wait to create more fabulous photos of the two of you in love on your wedding day!!

Remember, WE LOVE YOUR COMMENTS!!! Happy Monday everyone!!

Krista and Jeremy are getting married this October! The leaves will be turning, the air will be crisp, I can’t wait! At the engagement session I love chatting with my couples about the details of the wedding day! It is so fun to see them light up with excitement over the big day and these two were no exception! With Courtenay Lambert Florals, Studio Z Films, DJ Toad and Tres Chic Event Planning on the job, I know everything will be flawless!!

Krista and Jeremy spent the entire shoot cracking up! My favorite!

See, told ya.

I am so in love with Krista’s fabulous purple shoes!

As we were walking to our photo location I saw this little guy peaking out. He was a total poser.

I would have this photo on my wall if I were them.

Well, or maybe this one. This one is soooooooo cute.

This photo makes me think J Crew. Do ya see it???

So Pride and Prejudice.

I was soooooo excited to find this adorable little bird house! Not sure what I said here but it made for a perfect photo! Side note: I was viciously pooped on by a random bird during this session. He probably was mad that I was using his house for a photo and decided to get revenge. It was nasty. Right on the TOP of my ponytail and on the back of my sleeve. EWWWWWWWWWW ( said just like Ernest).

No, they are not laughing at the fact that I got pooped on. They are just being super in love.

You guys were awesome!!!! Thank you for crawling through weeds, scooping bird poop out of my hair and climbing the hills of Mt. Adams with me!! It was eventful and so much fun!
