All American Love | Lake County Photographer

When I first read my inquiry from Anne, I thought she was coming to me from Savannah.
See, she is getting married in Charleston, SC and told me she had considered the Mansion on Forsyth Park in Savannah when she saw my work from there.

So I was all prepared to let her know that I wouldn’t be able to do her engagement portraits since I wasn’t scheduled to come back to Savannah any time soon. Anne and Will needed a quick session soon to get some images for their Save the Date cards.

Then I looked closer and saw they were from the Chicago area.
Small world huh?

Lucky for me I was able to get this session in, because these two couldn’t have been cuter. They met in college when Anne was a cheerleader and Will was a football player for the U of I Fighting Illini. I was worried when I told them we are Badger fans in the Anderson household, but luckily, we could put our Big Ten rivalry behind us.

Without further ado, here are a few peeks from our session at Grant Woods in Lake Villa.

One Big Happy (and Energetic!) Family | Libertyville Photographer

This family came to me, looking for photographs of their newly blended family. Finding a day that would fit 5 kids busy schedules, as well as the parents AND get great weather looked to be an impossible task, but we managed to figure it out!

To say I was a bit nervous to photograph 5 kids between the ages of  7 and 11 would be an understatement.
Then, to find out 4 of the 5 were boys.

 I was freaking out.

Turns out, they all couldn’t wait to get photographed!
They even had ideas of their own for me!

This couldn’t have gone better. Kids were great, Mom and Dad were excited to get some of themselves since they didn’t get too  much of a chance when they got married a few months ago, and the weather was perfect!

We met up at Independence Grove in Libertyville, which is quickly becoming a favorite spot for clients!

First Snow! | Lake County Photographer

I was all prepared to go for my walk/run today and come back to post a recent client session.
But instead, I woke up to snow!

It was the pretty snow, the kind with the HUGE flakes that fall slowly down. The kind that makes me glad to now live in Chicago rather than Savannah.
(Don’t worry, in a couple months I will be griping about shoveling, ice, snow tires while my friends down south bask in their fall like weather.)

SO here are some cell phone shots of the snow that fell during my walk. Well, I lied. The first image in the top left was of my back yard with my “fancy” camera. The bottom left image was the snow falling while I dropped my daughter off at school, which almost threatened to cancel my run.

The others were from Grant Woods where I go to run a few times a week. Just gorgeous!

Happy Halloween!!!

Just a quick note to let you all know I will be enjoying this Halloween weekend in the city with my family for a quick “stay-cation”. I am excited to do some touristy things with my daughter…checking out the museums, aquariums, etc.

It does mean I will be more scarce, and will respond to all inquiries on Monday.

Have a great Halloween and check back for some hopefully fantastic vacation pictures!
