So Kim and Mike were my 2nd engagement session for Saturday!  They were a bunch of fun and I have too many pictures especially because they wanted some more edgy type feel ones.  Done and done.  Oh and they wanted to be on the blog, so here they are

We started in Grant Park and Millennium Park downtown located at 201 E. Randolph Street Chicago IL

And there you have some   I’m seriously burning through these sessions now, and the last 2 of those are my favs!

Ok, back to the grind,

My weekend was crazy. If I seem a bit out of it or a bit loopy, I’m still recovering. And yes, it’s Thursday and I have another full weekend and week next week! AH! But I’m surviving. Well, enough about me. So back to Saturday. I had 2 engagement sessions and Heidi and Jon were the first! Well, let me say, they were pleasure to work with and very understanding about a memorial day parade that I didn’t know was occurring that wouldn’t allow me to go east at all (where like 80% of the self parking is too by Grant Park…)  Anyway, they were GREAT sports about it and got some goodies for my lack of parade knowledge We started at Grant Park and ended up in Millennium Park located at 201 E Randolph Chicago IL

Ok, onto the pictures!

Oh and I used a different web-sharpen, not sure I’m digging it, but the post is going up now, I can always edit that later

1.  Yep, I’m a culprit who thought that today was Tuesday.  Memorial day really messed me up!

2.  Comment on the post that says Happy Birthday to ME!  I suck at life and said my birthday was on Saturday, when in fact, it was Sunday.  See what happens when I have 3 weddings, 2 engagement sessions and a meeting in one weekend?  I screw up my own birthday!  No fear though, someone lucky will get the sbux gift card.  And I mean that!  Commenting closes at midnight thursday, so get on it!

3.  Oh who was that meeting with you say?  Well, it was with the lovely ladies: Danielle Aquiline and Heather Parker we had a delicious brunch and talked all nerdy about photography.  It was fun!  I’m the only Nikon girl   but I’m ok with that!  We’re all keeping in touch and really, they were super sweet, even though I was late because my garmin took me in the wrong direction….thanks garmin….here’s a picture to prove it.  Just me and Danielle and no, I’m not going to make it larger.  Ever.  (guess what?  Photographers hate getting their picture taken too!)

4.  I’m so tired and stressed to get things done.  I’m getting all my stuff done clients, I promise!  I hate taking a week or so to show you your stuff, I want to show it IMMEDIATELY but alas, not enough hours in the day.

5.  Isabelle doesn’t know she’s part lab, she hates water.

6.  Isabelle also has hookworms to which I’m told is very common in puppies.  She’s on meds and doing fine, didn’t seem to slow her down at all…

7.  Let’s talk boudoir.  I still have some openings but not many AND I’m opening up a few more too

8.  Available sessions: June 14 – 9am (I know I know, but there’s got to be some morning people out there!).  June 13 – 7pm and NEW June 12 – 4pm and 6pm (maybe an 8pm too, would be great for a group of friends who would be interested!  July 12- 9am and 7pm (again, not too surprising but come on, I’m not going to do this again until September!)  Cost is still $200 per person, includes an album too!  Email for details.

9.  Starbucks is my vice.

10.  Lots of posts coming this direction VERY soon!

until next time,
