We’re just back from the beautiful island of Kaua’i and we’re still wringing the rain out of our clothes! Turns out December ain’t a good time to visit the islands.
Our friends Carlton, Erin, Jay and Steve were with us, and we all had a marvelous time, proving that the company you keep...

Greg and Jackie are big sports fans, and there was lots of good-natured ribbing about the Sox, Cubs, Bears, etc. And because they’re also huge hockey fans, Skates the Chicago Wolves Hockey Team mascot made an appearance at the beginning of the reception, too.
The ceremony was beautiful and it’s clear how much Jackie and...

We’d had Ben and Eimile over to the studio several times before the wedding, and we felt like old friends when their wedding day arrived. We joined the bridal party at the hotel in the morning, where everyone was getting ready.
The wedding was beautiful and it was clear how much Ben and Eimile are...

So in love. Sometimes we have to encourage couples to be a bit more touchy-feely during their sessions (“pretend like you like each other!”) but Kristi and Matt required little direction. It was very, very sweet.
Both of them were born and raised in Naperville, so downtown was the ideal place for photographs. We...

And since it’s nearly Halloween there were lots of kids in costume, with parents in tow. It was cute seeing Supermen, witches...

We’re very fond of Demetria and Ismael! Their engagement photo session in downtown Naperville this summer was spontaneous and fun—made more so by the deafening, soaking thunderstorm that made us run for cover. We took refuge in a restaurant and waited nearly an hour for the storm to blow over. The four...

We’re lucky that many of our clients have also become good friends. We took Beth and Joe’s engagement photos back in April, and we had a blast hanging out with them. Last week we had them over to the house for a cookout and discussed the final preparations. Hard to believe their...

A beautiful day in Chicago, perfect weather and a delightful couple to photograph. We joined Deb and her bridesmaids as they were getting ready. We always capture some great images during the “getting ready” part of the day, from “hair and makeup” to last-minute touches to the wedding gown.
The ceremony was beautiful, and Deb and...

What a day! The weather at Independence Grove was perfectly clear, warm and sunny. With such great subjects and ideal weather, we got some terrific photographs. We made some great friends at the wedding, and we felt very privileged to have been a part of the occasion.
During the reception we were hoping...
