OMG it’s Thanksgiving week y’all! I know. I can hardly believe it either. I can hardly believe it because we’ve been experiencing full-on Christmastime weather here in Chicago.

Today, instead of my normal ramblings, I’m going to pretend to be a photographer and share with you a “client post.” You know, kind of like this one. Just kidding.

Have you missed me? I’m going to assume the answer is yes just as I do each time I write a rhetorical question on a blog post. After all, it is my blog and I’m typically the only one in the room to answer any questions that might arise. Unless you count Finn and if […]

I’d say we are about due for a happy weekend wrap-up post, aren’t we? Hit it. I had a hard time excepting that fall had arrived until this weekend. I’ll admit, I was a little bitter at the lack of summer weather we experienced here in Chicago and I just wasn’t ready for a change […]
Read MoreI wanted to come back from my blog vacation and share with you the beautiful wedding of Claire and Ian, complete with a breathtaking view of the 18th hole at Torrey Pines, La Jolla sunsets and the chatter of friends and family. Or the unique ways that Austin gets into your soul and makes you […]
