Back in early January I had my first and only photo session so far this year. This was my second time doing pet photography as I met up with Yumi and her owner over at Hinkston Park to get some photos in the snow.
I photographed Katy and Jaimie's scaled back wedding ceremony and reception in October 2020. So the following year, in October 2021, when they could have a bigger celebration with a reception party at Glen Flora Country Club, they hired me yet again to be their photographer.
Back in December, my niece, Abria, stopped by the studio for a little portrait session in her cheerleading uniform.
The wedding of Mimi and Ben marked an interesting first for me as it was the first time that I’ve been at the navy base. They had a small ceremony on base with a few family members and friends in attendance. After the ceremony we went on over to Artesian Park in Lake Bluff to get some photos with their friends and family as well as just the newlyweds together.
I had this session with my aunt, uncle, and two cousins back in late December. We really lucked out with getting some good weather for this outdoor session at Lyons Woods.
This was a special wedding for me to photograph since I've known the family of the groom going all the way back to elementary school. That's why I was more than happy to make the trek all the way up to Homestead Meadows Farm in Appleton. At the beginning of my day we had overcast skies, but then right around the time of the ceremony the sun came out to shine.
Once again had a family portrait session with Deiningers back in December last year. We often really luck out when it comes to weather for their sessions as was the case yet again with this session. We probably had just about as good of weather as you could ask for considering the time of year. The photos that I’ve posted were taken at Sunrise Park in Lake Bluff. Also during their session after finishing up at the park, we took a short drive and captured some photos of this family in front of their new home.
Ivonne and Oscar’s wedding was my first wedding of a fairly busy October 2021. It’s definitely nice sometimes to get to photograph a wedding that’s local like was the case with their wedding. We started the day at Most Blessed Trinity - Holy Family for their ceremony. Then for portraits with the couple, we headed over to Lyons Woods Forest Preserve. It was certainly one of the more interesting sessions I’ve done with a bride and groom as we ran into the middle of the road to do photos during lulls in traffic. And finally the reception was at Club La Bodega.
Last year the family portrait session with Larsens took place in early November. During the session we went on quite the adventure as we hiked quite a bit of the trails around Volo Bog. Of course, I also managed to get some good photos of their family in their sweaters that were hand knit by Roselie.
After taking last week off from posting, I’m back to my regular routine of posting twice a week. Today’s post is photos from the bridal shower of Amanda that took place at the beginning of August. This event took place at Bloomingdale Golf Club and had some very lovely decorations.
