I grew up in Chicago. I have a LOVE of my hometown. It amazes me that each time I visit, I see something I didn't see last time I was there. Yes, I am a little romantic about that town.
Today I had the honor of photographing the daughter of someone who also calls Chicago her home. Funny - I think we are still so young - and when I see our kids it just takes my breath away. This young lady looks exactly the same as Mom did at the same age. She oozes confidence and spunk (just like Mom) and has just made my day.
I want to share some of these portraits we took today:
I can tell you this much - Chicago has one million places we can take portraits. Getting to see art in just the most random spots, well that is just the most fun in the world. It was funny - on my drive in and my drive out I think I saw 4 other photographers taking portraits - and I wanted to run over and say ohhhhh let me see - because as much as I love getting to do what I love - I love even more getting to see people see how I see them through my eyes.
That being said - today - well it was magic. Thank you to a friend from age 4 - Thank you to a NEW friend ages 8 and 10 - and THANK YOU to C - and thank you to YOU for stopping by.
Getting to be YOUR photographer - well let me thank you in advance.
xoxo

These portraits are amazing! We had our family portraits done in 2009 I think and they were mind blowing. Whoever saw those absolutely loved them! They are so different from the cookie cutter portraits (poses, backgrounds, props, etc.) from Sears, Picture People, JCP! It would be wrong to even compare your pics to Sears and like.
I love them, and definitely plan on having a session soon.
