vanessa&ben|engaged // spring valley, schaumburg

phew, this post has taken way longer than i thought because there were SO MANY GOOD PICTURES! we hung out with vanessa and ben at the spring valley nature center in schaumburg. this is definitely one of the most epic locations we’ve shot at and we were loving every second! and even though the wind tried to blow us to the next state and we got caught in a crazy thunderstorm and had to duck for cover in a barn, vanessa and ben rocked it out. can’t wait for their wedding in may!


i think it would be funny to note that vanessa was the only one of us not wearing plaid that day. hehe.

Brandi - What a cute couple. I love all their smiles.

Nancy - Gina and Tony I love the pop of red color in the pictures. The baloons were a great addition to the photos I especially like the one were the couple is reflected in the silver heart. The second, fourth and sixth picture should be in a magazine. I love the videos. You always seem to match the songs with the slide show so wonderfully. Great work! Especially when you always have great couples.

baby z|portraits

what better to follow pictures of puppies and kitties than one with babies! well, just one baby in particular. baby z has got to be one of the CUTEST babies i’ve ever known. not even exaggerating. this little guy will melt your heart in about .004368 seconds. trust me, it’s scientific fact. he’s destined to be a lady killer rivaled only by george clooney or bradley cooper.


see what i mean?;)

…aannndd we’re back!

so for everyone out there wondering where the heck we’ve been for the last few weeks, let me tell you. it involves a trip to delaware, the sound of music, a sinus infection, 9 hours in the philadelphia airport, a stomach flu, the tossers, 24 packages of chicken ramen noodles, and lots of puppies and kitties. not necessarily in that order.

march was a crazy month of traveling, visiting family, and volunteering. at the beginning of the month we went out to delaware to see my little brother play capt. georg von trapp in the sound of music. the whole cast did a smashing job, and it was so fun to see our delaware friends.

in between bouts of illness, lots of ramen, and 2 trips to see the tossers perform live, we’ve been doing some volunteering at some local animal shelters. and this crosses off #50 off my list – “donate our services to a good cause.”

everyone that knows me, knows i love anything small, cuddly and furry. so in our slow season, we decided to pop by some local animal shelters and take photos of all their puppies and kitties up for adoption. here are some of our favorites.

we have met the cutest and cuddliest animals, and heard some sad, sad stories. if you’re in the market for a new dog or cat – please, please, please check out our friends at the du page county animal care and the naperville humane society. they are awesome at what they do! and if you’re looking for a good place to do some volunteer work, give them a call!

now that spring is in the air, we are back in full swing! so expect some awesome sessions and weddings coming your way soon!

now i’m off to sit in the sunshine and have some iced coffee.:Denjoy the green.
