I am in awe the clients that God brings into our lives. We met Taylor & Scott through their event planner, Jan Ehrenberg of Parties, Events & More. Thank you Jan! Taylor and her family are the sweetest people on earth. I can't wait for their wedding this Sunday. YES, I said it..... this Sunday. And YES, it took me this long to blog their engagement session. I know... I know... I'm a procrastinator. Actually, I'm a mom and that keeps me busy on top of running an incredible business. Oh and let's not forget to mention that I have 3 kids (which includes my husband!).

It was a beautiful Fall day. We met Taylor & Scott at the Chicago Botanic Garden where we got some spectacular photos and then headed downtown Chicago to do some night shots. So much fun!!! Ican't wait to share images from their wedding. Bob just photographed Taylor's dress fitting yesterday and OMG....... you are not going to want to miss seeing her dress! I promise not to wait long!

Love to you all....

We adore Laura and Joe! They are fun, sweet and so beautiful. We met Laura through a former bride of ours, Sarina Gelvan. Thank you Sarina!!! Laura is the Publisher of Dining Out magazine here in Chicago. Awesome magazine if you're looking for great entertainment and wonderful restaurants to indulge in. We had a great time shooting their engagement session in Chicago. Laura is perfectly beautiful and I love the way Joe looks at her. There is nothing more sexy to me than the way a man loves his woman! Joe loves Laura!!!! It's beautiful to see!

I love this post! I don't think I've ever opened a blog post with those words but this one is so special. I was on the phone with Kim Reilly, our beautiful bride from this summer! We were talking about her wedding and she mentioned she had a party to go to over the weekend. One of her best friends was getting engaged. It was a surprise and Kim was going to the party after the proposal. I immediately offered up Bob's services because I've always wanted to have a proposal in our portfolio. Kim was so amazing and graciously referred Pete to us.

When I spoke to Pete on the phone, he seems so nervous! He was so cute. He wanted everything to be perfect. Bob worked out the details with Pete and everything was.............. perfect!

Thank you Pete for allowing Bob to tag along as you ask the love of your life to marry you! We wish you and Tanya a lifetime of happiness...
