I knew Lenie and his family growing up, but then awhile back they moved out to Atlanta. After graduation, he found a job as a Math teacher in the Chicago Public School which brought him back around, and we re-connected since I came back from U of I. Lenie and Namratha met while they were in college, and have been doing the distance thing for a bit as she is still out in Georgia, but she was able to come down for a recent weekend so we made sure we got a session in for them. We took a stroll around downtown Chicago in some great weather (though the weatherman told us we’d experience rain…silly weathermen). The wedding is going to be out in Atlanta on July 12th, so it’s right around the corner!

Now I don’t do many images with textures, but I knew I had to with this one right when I snapped the picture…

And I love this set…It’s great when my clients are willing to stand in the middle of the road just before a truck comes at them…

Lenie and Namratha, I had a blast with you guys and wish you all the best on your wedding day and married life to come. See you guys back in Chicago in the fall!

Baby Seylah was born a little bit ago, and I had gone to take a few portraits of her for the birth announcement. Normally it’s a bit tough to take these portraits because the kids can get a bit fussy over tme, but she seriously did not mind the pictures AT ALL! Here’s a few more from the session:

Big brother Jaden…

And this one’s to show that he really does like her :)

• [Photo Challenge] Yep…June’s challenge is right here.
• [Summer League] WOW. Within the first 7 days, we maxed our capacity for Summer League! Last year was the first season, and we had about 70 players…this year we boosted it to 90 and already maxed out! A waiting list is open for another week or so in case people drop for some reason, but regardless its time to get hype! Summer League is taking over Sunday nights!
• [Cubbies] 45-25. That’s right…best record in baseball, 20 games over .500. PLEASE! Somebody take me to a (couple) game(s)!!!!!!!
• [NBA] The playoffs should be over. I mean, the past two games, the Lakers were up by at least 19 points, and blew the lead. They somehow were able to pull it out in the last game, but I really don’t think they can survive too more games…do you?
  
• [Painting] Some of you know that my sister is getting married in July. And it’s bit of a tradition in our community (I don’t know where the tradition started or why) that when someone gets married a part of the house gets remodeled in some way, shape or form (yeah…the tradition doesn’t make sense, I know). I think for my oldest sister we redid our bathrooms. This time I around, we repainted our family room, so the weekend was spent setting it up and paiting it all…looks good, though. Once the paint dries we’ll be good to go!
• [Picture] And so I don’t have a post without a picture, here’s one from a set I’m currently working on…

…am I the only one picturing it as a 20×30 canvas hanging above the couch in the main room?!!? I love it!
