Quick peek

A quick peek from my engagement shoot on Saturday...

I'm still working on sessions from this weekend - I'll be posting more as they get done. Hope everyone had a good weekend!

WTD - another funny

A 'funny' for today ...

Busy day

No new pics for today. I'm sure you are in overload from all the pics this week anyway. I have two shoots today and am ATTENDING a wedding tonight. I have to admit, I rarely attend weddings anymore as a guest. It feels a little odd.

I'll have more pics for you guys next week!

Sarah and Matt

Sarah and Matt

Last night I had a great session with Sarah and Matt. I stayed up late last night working on their pictures and then got up early today to finish them. I just couldn't wait to see what we got. They decided to do their shoot at the American Sign Museum which is in Essex Studios. What a great location! Sarah even managed to get the owner to give her the keys to the place ... so we had it all to ourselves. Amazing.

Here are a few pics from our session ...

I loved this 'storefront' look inside the museum ... and I LOVE that Matt is winking at Sarah!

the ring shot ...

I did some 'spotlight' lighting effects in this next one ... probably one of my favorites from the museum...

Sarah had the CUTEST boots on! So, here is one of their headless shots ...

We headed downtown to get some shots at Garfield Park.

We were really hoping the lights would be on ... but when we got there, they weren't on. So, JUST as we were leaving they turned the lights on! So, we had to stay and get a couple more.

I love the lights ...

I had a great time with you two! You two are so easy to photograph and I can't wait for the wedding!

Roadtrip Day 2 - part 2

Ok ... so this is the last batch of photos I took from the weekend trip. Our last day was taken up mostly with our walk, but when we got back, we decided to help clean up the yard a bit - which means ... everyone else helped carry things to our burn pile while I photographed it :) I am SO helpful.

And here are just some more random shots taken while wandering around the lot ...

As soon as I started to photograph this next 'thing' ... my mom came over and said "I just KNEW you were going to love that!" Of course I do .. it is rusty/crusty!

Ok folks that is it from the weekend. We now return you to you regularly scheduled programs.

Roadtrip Day 2 - part 1

Roadtrip Day 2 - part 1

I had to break Day 2 into 2 parts because I took SO many pictures.

We started Day 2 with belgian waffles :) Breakfast is BY FAR my favorite meal of the day.

Mmmmmmmm

Then we headed out for a walk in the woods...

And I took pictures of EVERYTHING ...

I like how the branch is pointing right to them ...

and another one with the tree stump framing them on our walk ...

love the moss!

I had a chance to practice some motion blur ...

Here is my mom checking to make sure I'm still behind them. I framed her between two branches of a tree ...

Our only wildlife spotting on the walk. And I had the wrong lens on my camera for getting great close up shots of the deer. So, this will have to do.

More to come tomorrow. Hopefully I'm not boring you all with these pictures. I just loved being out in nature - I felt like a kid in a candy store! So much to photograph!
