Downtown Chicago Engagement | Megan and Kyle

I am so excited to share these pictures with you all today! Megan and Kyle are positively the sweetest couple. We had so much fun with their engagement pictures last week. I'm sure you'll notice her gorgeous ring... they worked with Larry who I have also referred to Julia and whom I found out about from Rachel. Clearly he does AMAZING work :-D Okay enough about the ring, did I mention that I also love their outfits? Right right okay here are their pictures!!

Love you two!! I can't wait for your wedding in July :-D

Chicago Family Photography | Brandy & Kendall

//If you're looking for my most recent wedding or engagement work, click here!!\\

Brandy and Kendall live in our neighborhood and we met one Saturday morning two years ago on Stephanie's porch. I bring blueberry muffins, she brings coffee. We sit on the porch and catch up on each other's lives, people watch, and soak up summer. When I say it's the idyllic way to pass a Saturday, I am not joking. I love these ladies!

Brandy reached out to me about taking Christmas pictures of them a few weeks ago and we planned for Saturday. She wanted to take pictures of them having a tea party, because that is one of Kendall's favorite things! So adorable.























Love you two!! XOXO

Next Restaurant | Childhood Menu | Kitchen Table

//If you're looking for my most recent wedding or engagement work, click here!!\\

Exactly one week ago today, we dined at Next. You might remember, we previously dined there for the Paris 1906 menu, and the Tour of Thailand. I cannot begin to tell you what a different experience this was. It was absolutely incredible. Wil and I dined at the kitchen/chef's table with two other couples, only one pane of glass separating us from the entire kitchen. Beyond the additional courses and wine, this allowed us to interact much more with the chefs. As you'll see in a second, Dave Beran even came and painted with us. This is absolutely my favorite menu to date. Watch for same night tickets, and go!



































These are just a few images from our amazing experience. This is the full album.

Have an amazing weekend!
