A few months ago I was in Detroit and Jen asked me to swing by and
photograph a few maternity pictures. I was thrilled. I hadn't seen
her and Shawn since their wedding a couple years ago. So when I was back in their area last month and they asked me to take 1 month pictures of little Tristan I was twice as thrilled. He is such a cutie and it was so nice to hang out with the new family.

A couple weeks ago I was going through Chicago and mentioned it to Lisa and Don. They live in Indiana, are getting married on Mackinac and were thrilled at the idea of an engagement shoot in Chicago. I of course jumped at the chance!! Any excuse I have to photograph Chi-town and visit that city always makes me happy.
We decided to meet downtown and wander around the city, unfortunately the 60 degree weather from the week before was no where to be found... so instead we shivered our way around the city! None the less it was fun... we went from Millennium Park to the river walk, had a little break with Champagne at Trump Tower to celebrate their upcoming wedding (and an excuse to de-thaw)... before walking around the lower streets a bit more.
A little about Lisa and Don... they met at a dance studio!! I love this, so of course I made them show me a few of their moves. Can't wait to see their first dance... pressure is on you two!
I've mentioned this before but I absolutely love doing engagement shoots. Especially now that I have found the greatest guest book ever. Its a hardcover 8x8 with matte pages individually designed... check out the design of Emily & Chris's Guestbook.

Hey there!
I don't have much time to write... I'm in the middle of editing the three photo shoots I had over the last couple weeks in Chicago, Detroit, and Bronson (Michigan... not Missouri)!
So until I can get these three shoots finished I thought I would leave you with just a few pics from one of my favorite cities.. .Chicago!! I'm really starting to like this place... even when its cold!
Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend... off to another busy week tomorrow, but I don't mind when I get to take beach breaks looking at the Pacific... ahhhhh so nice to be home!
Love
A

About a year ago... I got a new camera to play with ... in an age with iphone, ipads, apps this and apps that... .the HOLGA is the inspiration for many of these apps. Don't get me wrong I have about 10 of these apps on my phone... but I thought it would be fun to go back and experiment with the old school fun and excitement of the original film camera
This film camera ... created in 1981 takes you back in time... the grain... the color... everything. It reminds you of the excitement again of film. Here is a camera that has only a few settings... your never quite sure what is going to turn out... and when you get the 12 images (yes only 12) from each roll there is a thrill and excitement.. what worked and what didn't
So here are a few experiments from the last 12 months...
from Hawaii... to Spain... to Chicago... to London ... to Italy... to of course California and Mackinac...
It's a mix of weddings... travel... and just my friends and I playing with the new camera!!
Can't wait to see what my next round of HOLGA images will turn out like...
May you all find time to play with your passion... to let go of control and see the excitement of what might come out of it!!
Love
A

So here it is midnight.. .and as usual... instead of heading to bed... as I should... I am attached to my computer reading up and chatting on my favorite photography forum through Pictage . Not only is it an awesome place to get to know super cool fellow photographers all around the country (even world), it also serves as a great reference... we all have things to learn and share... and this forum is the best for making that happen.
Just tonight I was on to ask some buddies for a couple great "locals only" locations in Chicago for an upcoming engagement shoot.
Then... as I was reading a bit more I came upon this incredible non-profit.
Wish Upon A Wedding
One of my new year's resolution was to start giving more with my photography... this is it!!
I am so excited to learn more about this company... and get involved.. I've barely scratched the surface of the website... but was so excited I had to post something about it.
Tomorrow... first thing... (after my zumba class of course)... I will be reading up and learning more!
Keep an eye out for more info and fellow event professionals... take a look!!
