Happy Friday! -
During this quarantine, it's a great time to learn something new! Maybe it's learning a new language, becoming more organized, learning an instrument, new workout routine, reading books, trying new recipes or even learning about photography!
-
Comment below what your goals are for this season of quarantine!

As a photographer, I have lots of tools and experience to capture great photos in any environment. That said, nothing can fully replicate natural light!
-
Amber and Austin braved the cold for a few minutes and we captured some awesome outdoor photos!

Accessories like this umbrella can add a unique touch to your photos! Other ideas couples have used to bring out their style are: cozy blankets, hats, bright clothing, their car, coffee mugs and even their dog! .

When working with a unique background like this tree, it's important to have your subject positioned so that the branches are surrounding them, not passing directly behind them. You want a beautiful background to be an accent to your subject, not a distraction.

There is a lot of brokenness and hardship in our world right now. Many are just trying to put food on the table and keep their homes warm.
-
In the midst of crisis, it's easy to forget that life is happening now and we won't get this time back. During this season of stress and unknowns, our team encourages you to intentionally love on your family and friends.
-
Take the first step towards healing a broken relationship, make your kids laugh, hug your mom, grocery shop for your grandparents and tell your spouse that you love them daily!

Amber and her girls had a blast getting ready for the big day! Consider bringing confetti to throw or a champagne bottle like Amber did to create a really fun photography moment during the wedding morning!

We've had quite a few weddings at The Covenant at Murray Mansion. This is a great venue option for those who want to have their wedding between Chicago and Milwaukee.

This photo of Erin and Nick symbolizes perfectly the countless hours that many dating couples spend in coffee shops. How fun to think back to those dating years with your spouse. Conversations started silly (and probably even awkward) and over time, those coffee shop conversations morphed into discussing your dreams and future life together!

Kaitlyn and Harry chose downtown Chicago for their engagement photos. Chicago has a lot diverse photography locations - Everything from a city vibe skyline to a natural sun flare beach (like this one of Kaitlyn and Harry at North Avenue Beach!).

Paige and her husband Brett are another couple that I captured post wedding pictures for. They wore their wedding gown and tux to capture more bride and groom creatives in Chicago which was so fun! This photo of Paige looks like it belongs in a fairy tale.

A fun new photography trend is starting, and we think it's great!
-
Recently, we have had clients schedule a post-wedding photo shoot that has the feel of an engaged session (or they choose to wear their wedding attire!). These sessions are so fun! Wedding jitters are gone, the couple knows each other on a deeper level and the photos share the story of their new life together!

We highly recommend that bride's have their make up professionally done. Whether you like a dramatic or more natural style, you will be happier with your look (and photos!) when your make up is spot on.
