Really super belated post and my sincerest apologies

First I have to give you a little background to help you understand why this belated post is such a big deal. Sheri, the bride featured in these pictures, is probably one of the sweetest, funniest, most organized people I have come across in my last three years as a wedding photographer...she also happens to be my blog's biggest "stalker"...at least that I know of...seriously like when I wasn't able to post for a long time I would get these desperate emails from her begging for a post...almost even leading to blackmail if I didn't...ha ha (J/J Sheri)
Anyways I met up with Sheri and Mike last Sunday for their final consult and she reluctantly brought it to my attention that I never posted HER pics...of all people to forget to post...I forgot hers...I was dumbfounded and really don't know how they never ended up here...but...here they are now! We had such an awesome fall day at Lafeyette Park. Mike was so...how should I say this...worried...that I was going to make him do stupid stuff...which I did...but he was a trooper and I think even though he may not to admit to it, we had a fun time.
Sheri, I am soooooooooooooo sorry I never posted your pictures. I will make it up to you somehow. AND....I hope those wedding nightmares ease up a little for ya...at least the ones you're having about me not showing up...you were probably having those about me since I never posted your pics...ha ha Love you guys and I can't wait to shoot your wedding!!! Good luck with your programs!
Also I must also tell everyone.... Sheri came to the meeting with all her family formals written on index cards outlining who she wanted photographed and even numbered them and everything!!! sooooooooooo cool!!I wanted to take pics of them to post to show you how cool this is but I am still waiting to get my camera bodies back. yikes I hope my camera guy hurries...T minus 5 days and counting till my first wedding of 2008!!!

the new house

well one good thing about not having internet is that I have had lots of time to get the new house whipped into shape. I am posting these because I have quite a few Bpic sessions booked for January-March and doing them at my house saves people some money! When I do them at a hotel or loft, I have to charge more than $250 (depending on how many girls book) to help cover the cost of the room, but I can do them for cheaper when the shoot is at my house!

Nicole and James

Well, yet another fabulous couple who are getting married next year...and guess what?! Nicole and James are getting married on my birthday! Yay! We were downtown once again for this engagement shoot. I tell ya it's a challenge to be at the same locations and make the pictures look different. I try not to do the same things because I know alot of girls share their images online! How'd I do so far?

Erin and Scott

Man October is a super busy month...everyone wants those pretty fall colors...so I have been swamped. I should be getting ready for work right now but instead I decided to catch up on my blog. Erin and Scott are just one of my many favorite couples getting married next year. We tried to do a session Sunday but the wind was out of control. I felt like it was going to knock us over at one point. We decided we would do a spring shoot too and hope for a little less wind. Here are a few of my favorites!

Megan and Chris

yet another beautiful fall engagement session!

yikes...I am behind in posting....

Okay so Kate and Jeremy are not a couple of mine....They are actually getting married in Chicago...but I am SOOOOOOO jealous of their wedding photographer. These two are just about the cutest, most in love, photogenic people of all time. We had so much fun during this shoot..(even with the 50 mile an hour wind gusts...ha ha) Best wishes guys! You're awesome!

Christin and Bob...I mean Dennis...hee hee

So after the Botanical Gardens I met up with Christin and Dennis...Now I must say...typically MOST guys do not enjoy engagement sessions...they just "don't get it". BUT I have never come across anyone who hates getting their picture taken more than Dennis (except for maybe me) and man...I tried like heck to get hime to loosen up...which he did...a little...but I am stupid because even though his name is Dennis...I kept calling him Bob....I couldn't figure out why until Christin pointed out that I did Kristen and Bob (whom she knows...small world) last weekend...so that made me feel a lot better...but then for no reason later I called him Tom..not just once...but like 4 times...UGH!!! I was soooooooo embarrased. I think it's because I had a million things going on and I am meeting with Jessica and Tom Tuesday....who knows...All I know is for how much Bob...I mean Dennis...hates getting his picture taken...I think he looks pretty darn cute in these...(you do too Christin!) :) Thanks for letting me take your pics and best of luck with your wedding in the fall!









I need to explain this picture...ok so we left the City Museum because it was hot and Dennis was a little leary of the million kids that were zooming around so we took off to Christin's downtown office building to grab a drink and cool off..This next picture is Christin trying really hard to get Dennis to relax..She was just being fuuny (I think the beer helped) and I just grabbed this shot of her being silly!




This is Dennis looking at Christin like..."let's just get this freakin' over with already" :)
