He and I

when words run dry, he does not try,

nor do I.

We are on par.

He just is,

I just am

and we just are.

We then went out and these two got to see each other for the first time. I love these moments.

Off we went to the amazing Hamstra Gardens. I don’t think there is a more beautiful backyard that I have ever seen! Thanks to my two second shooters Katrina Sebastian and Becky Horvath

The only picture the groom asked for was this one. Megan was awesome for getting on that trampoline!I could never have asked for a better day for an outside wedding. A little bit of cloud coverage and a beautiful bride and groom. The wedding was held at Sandy Pines Golf Course
Then the reception began!

The funnest couple ever!/Northwest Indiana/Chicago wedding photography

Thursday, May 16, 2013

What a beautiful day! This just takes the cake for the most beautiful weather so far. It is always so dramatic from freezing to warm to overcast to blaring sun! The weather in Indiana definitely keeps you on your toes. These two are perfect! One of the two, I won’t mention any names, was hesitant at first. As you can tell he warmed up and did what it took to make this an awesome experience for all of us.

I can’t wait for their wedding next June. I am sure it is going to be equally as fun!

Grant Family!/Northwest Indiana/Chicago Family Photographer

Tuesday, May 14, 2013

I am so behind behind blogging a lot of sessions.

I decided to blog this one even though I took it the most recent. I will blog the rest because each one is special.

This family makes my heart happy. I have had the opportunity to hear Effie express many times her love of being a mother. It is heartwarming. I hear in her words so often how she has to trust in her Heavenly Father to make it through the very tough role of caring and nurturing her children. She is so real and genuine in her true desire to be the best that she can be for her family. She is very inspirational to me.

It reminds me of this song.

We are a drift on a sailboat my love is the sea

Yours is the horizon constant and steady…

Darling your love is healing

It makes the bittersweet

warms the winter to spring again…

Thank you so much for letting me spend a little time in your world. I love it every time!

James and Kim are married!/Northwest Indiana/Chicago wedding photography

Saturday, May 11, 2013

I thought that it was going to be a beautiful day to take some pictures.

It wasn’t. Kim and James had gotten married back in December but wanted to have the reception and pictures in the spring.

So out to County Line Orchard we went and it rained, and rained. We had a few moments here and there but for the most part we took pictures in doorways and coverings and darted in and out of the cold.

But when I look through these pictures, I realized how much fun everyone was having even though there was no sunshine and it was cold and raining. Because they were there to celebrate something more. I feel like this was definitely a wedding where there were not a lot of posed shots and a lot of laughter. I am so honored to have been a part of both days.

Here was one of those rare moments when James carried Kim out to the field so we could get in a few shots. I didn’t even know it was raining in most of the shots. I decided to use a little light because of the dark day and the raindrops were captured so perfectly!We went in to the reception hall and snuck away and took a couple more pictures of the bride and groom which are always my favorite.And the fun continues…..
and continues…I could share so many of these dancing ones. James really enjoyed the dance floor!

I love taking emily’s picture! She has the prettiest smile and lights up the whole room. I have known and loved their family for years and this is just the icing on the cake to be able to be a part of now two daughters weddings!

I am so happy for these two and can’t wait to see what the rest of their life holds in store for them!

Can’t wait for their wedding in June! I just think it is going to be perfect!
