There’s nothing like a couple that says, I want winter engagement pictures!  We literally rescheduled about 3 times due to weather or other circumstances but we were able to fit them in on Sunday, finally!  I loved Loretta and Aaron’s first session that was just in their favorite local area which was so much fun.  They also were not afraid to be themselves or be silly.  They’re not at all camera shy and a lot of fun and I could imagine the craziness that would ensue if we ever had a meal and drinks together!  They’re just fun.  I couldn’t narrow it down.  I even thought about a slideshow because these pictures are just so…them.  They scream Loretta and Aaron!  I can’t wait until their May wedding!!  We started at the Lincoln Park Zoo and went from there!

this one I just love. that’s all I have to say about it.

and can we look at that hair accessory!? Just wonderful

the one on the right just cracks me up!

I suggested this one, I wasn’t sure if it was going to turn out and it did!!

love is….lying in a giant pile of mulch for an engagement shoot

this one is also a favorite! After walking around the entire zoo, we finally got out to where I wanted to go and this foggy chicago skyline just makes me feel wintery!

no words for this one.

This one is a little more dramatic than my usual but I just love it, the lighting turned out perfect, everything is just perfect here!!

I love separating couples and telling them to pose, the guy generally does what Aaron did and just stands there while the girl does something fun, or usually the do the EXACT same thing (which Loretta and Aaron did do in the first frame, haha)

sorry Aaron, this was too funny NOT to post!

I’ve run out of commentary on how much I love these.

I always make winter engagements snowball fight, I think it’s necessary. I really do! Aaron and Loretta were all in and pretty much planned it too. Aaron had one request: snowball exploding on him, and here you go!

whew! That was a long post!! But completely worth it! I’m so excited to start shooting again! I can’t wait for my 2010 weddings and being able to produce amazing photographs!
