Can I just say that my little puppy has just grown up SO fast from where she was just a few months ago?! Remember this sweet puppy? She’s actually a dog and becoming more difficult to photograph. Though I love taking pictures of pets and Isabelle is basically a cute business write-off right? Well, I think she’s more than adorable! I’ve learned a lot about photographing pets and especially photographing dogs from her, treats and bribes are a must, as well as knowing sit-stay. And you know that there will be a photo montage at her 1 year!
I just love this series, shows her love of having her photo taken! Who knew pets would be harder than people?
and one last picture of my fur baby!
I just love taking pictures of pets! Contact me if you’re ever interested!
I first apologize for the length of this slideshow. I kept going through their images and Kim and Mike had SO many good ones, I couldn’t choose.
Needless to say I think that they should order some large! Kim was so relaxed the day of, I walked into her suite and she just laughed, told me it’s been raining all day, she had no other plans but to take the wedding pictures outdoors before the ceremony and her dress was lost by the bellman! We joked for about an hour while they retrieved the dress from the wrong room that we’d just whip up a new wedding dress using some of the sheets! She truly was relaxed and just happy to get married.
We started out at the Westin in Wheeling to get some done, and it was a dream to photograph there! I can’t wait for a wedding or reception to be held there as their windows and suites are so big! It was a lovely place!

After all of the silliness of the bridal party pictures were done at the Westin we headed off to the Arboretum in Buffalo Grove for the ceremony and reception. I wish that it wasn’t rainy out because the rolling hills and lovely landscape of the Arboretum made for a wonderful backdrop for wedding pictures. Luckily, Kim & Mike still got to go out on the course during cocktail hour. This is a great thing to do for the couple right after the ceremony because it gives them some moments alone during the day!

So without further ado, here’s your slideshow:
Thanks for having me along Kim and Mike! I had a blast doing your wedding photography!
Stefanie and John got married just a few weeks ago and had the best weather! It wasn’t too hot or too cold and they were such fun to work with! I know you all don’t read my writing and just skip onto the pictures, it’s ok, I do the same!
I also caught the sneak at their new rings:
oh yeah, I caught this:
this is just my opinion but I totally think this should be at least a 16×20!
they were so silly!
I love these next 2!!
How sweet is this for the last dance of the night?
Andrea and Adam now live in the sunny state of Florida but still had plans to get married in good old Illinois! We had a lot of fun and Andrea was probably the most relaxed bride I’ve had to that point! She didn’t stress about any part of the day and just laughed things off. I would also like Adam to note that I did include his self portrait in the slideshow when I asked him to hold my camera while I bustled Andrea, Adam decided a self portrait was in order! How funny!
