chicago, illinois {modern portraits} : Baby Alexander

Last week I had the privilege of working with baby Alexander, one of the easiest 6-month-olds I’ve EVER dealt with!  He must have been extremely excited to have his picture taken because from the moment I got to Pontus and Ulrika’s place, he was ready to go.  I don’t think he even had thoughts of a cry or a whine while I was there…maybe I’m just that good with kids? :)

Ulrika, Pontus, and Baby Alexander, I had a great time working with your family- a beautiful family makes my job very easy :)

If this doesn’t make you feel all warm and fuzzy going into Valentine’s day, I don’t know what will.

Ask me anything! (within reason :))

So I’ve been stuck in front of my computer for what feels like 75% of my days recently, so I jumped on the formspring.me bandwagon, an online site dedicated to simply answering questions!  I decided to do a video post answering one of the questions I got there, so I hope you enjoy it.  If you have any follow up questions or anything else that you would want me to answer (either on the form or as a video response), hit up the comments, or just post over at formspring. Enjoy!

Shaina + Aby : modern portraits {elmhurst, il}

You probably remember Shaina and Aby from earlier in the year with their proposal/mini-session from earlier in the year.  I was able to get back together with them for part two of their portraits a short while back.  Shaina is in nursing school at Elmhurst College in Elmhurst, IL, so we worked our way around that campus- I was surprised at how much is around that area!

I love simple body language.

These two are so chill…straight baller.  I think this one’s my favorite:

Such a peaceful moment…

There’s something about beautiful architecture/buildings that just grabs me every time.

We then made our way over to a nearby park…who doesn’t like playing in a park?

Sadly, I won’t be shooting the wedding since I’ll be a groomsman, but I’m still looking forward to next July!

Susie + Shawn : modern portraits {ann arbor, mi}

The drive to Michigan was worth it. :)  After a late night wedding the night before, my wife joined the road trip to shoot Susie and Shawn’s session, and they totally rocked it out.  It feels kind of weird saying this since these two are only a little bit older than me, but they are DEFINITELY a cute couple.  It didn’t take long for them to get comfortable in front of the camera and start putting out some awesome shots!

We started out near at the beautiful Gallup Park in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and the weather was absolutely perfect for us!

We then headed out to a local “unnamed” university nearby. :)  I must say, I LOVE shooting in campus towns…such great architecture, tons of people…it’s a beautiful place to be.

Their wedding was just a couple weeks later, so I’ll be getting those images up here in a short while too!  And that was some MASSIVE fun times, so get ready. :)
