This is from the other half of the portrait session at Bowen Park from the beginning of April. During this part of the session we got a lot of great photos of my sister, Shari, and her children. Also had some photos where my folks, Dominisha, and Jordan jumped in as well.
Originally Lluvia and Heberto's courthouse wedding was supposed to take place on Good Friday. However, when we arrived at the courthouse this past Friday, we found out that they were not doing marriages on that day due to the holiday. Luckily my schedule was fairly open this weekend and I was able to make it Saturday morning when they got married by a judge.
The first day of April I went over to Bowen Park for a couple portrait sessions with my a couple of my sisters, their children, and my parents. The first part of the session was Dominisha and her son, Jordan. Also, my parents jumped in for a few photos as well.
When you think of April showers, you normally think of rain showers. However, this past weekend during Ana and Abraham’s wedding we ended up getting showered with some snow flurries instead. They had their ceremony and reception at Stoney Brook Cambridge Rec Center in Gurnee. We took most of the photos indoors for obvious reasons, but we also made sure to get outside for a moment to capture a few photos on the balcony with the snow coming down in the background.
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.
