so caitlyn’s senior session was truly a family affair!! given that we drive to some whacky places for our sessions, usually making at least one wrong turn along the way, we often have everyone hop in our van for the shoot. not so with caitlyn’s family. she brought her sister, mom and dad and was bummed that her other sister, whitney, couldn’t come. (we were bummed too since we shot whitney’s wedding earlier this year and we pretty much love her!!!) needless to say, they followed us in their own car.
that wouldn’t have been such a big deal except caitlyn’s dad is a cop and our brake light was out…haha…oops!!! he let us know didn’t ticket us this time
caitlyn you nailed it. wow!!! here’s a few of our favorites. (and say “hey” to the fam for us!)










it’s senior season!! and have we ever been loving our “models” this year
kaila contacted us awhile back and she knew exactly what she wanted. “something different!” so we just loved when we pulled up to our first location and her mother chimed in, “this is different for sure!” love it. shooting is so much fun when we’re able to take some risks and kaila was up for it all!! thanks kaila. you did it right!!
so here’s a handful of our favorites with kaila!








we were so excited to meet becca and do her senior session! her mom had mentioned that she was a dancer (ballerina) and that she would be bringing an outfit to take some pictures in. i was excited at the idea of urban ballerina, but even more thrilled when we met and she busted out a BLACK tutu and leotard with HOT PINK toe shoes…… REALLY???!! yes, becca IS that cool. she is vibrant, beautiful, outgoing and full of life. we had so much fun on all of our adventures downtown and her mom and aunt both came adding to the whole experience!
we hit some great locations and we all LOVED when we pulled up to our favorite graffiti wall and it looked perfectly painted just for us!
senior sessions have not been our focal point in the past, but we sure are loving shooting them!!! we still hold to our artistic style and want to bring our vision to the scenario, but what fun when we get those who want just that! thanks becca for being so FABULOUS and we can’t wait to watch you dance professionally someday….. maybe broadway? yes, you are a ROCKSTAR… i can see it now!!! until then…. enjoy your last year of high school and a sneak peek of a few of our faves.









seems like we were just in chicago hanging out with tom + lauren, when in reality it was a few weeks ago. time flies when you travel to chicago, florida, washington and detroit all in the matter of a few weeks!!! some of you already know that it has been a crazy year of traveling for us, but we LOVE it and feel blessed at the opportunities we have to meet and shoot so many incredible people. and that definitely includes tom + lauren, who both work in chicago at a swanky marketing agency called UPSHOT! we met them through one of our dearly beloved blog followers, kelly von ebers, who boosts our esteem ever so often with her kind comments.
ben had written back to kelly, kelly sent our website to the newly engaged tom + lauren, we met for lunch while in chicago and the rest is history!!! a little shout-out to kelly for leaving your comments that we love and for introducing us to tom + lauren! you ROCK!
we loved our time with tom + lauren and were extremely excited when they decided to book us for next summer at the blue dress barn! did we mention that we LOOOOOVE unique venues??!! we DO!!! back to chicago we went for their engagement shoot and i was so excited when lauren busted out a fabulous dress from anthropologie that i had actually been eyeing myself.
they were so great and we tried a few new locations with them and squeezed out every ounce of light we had! what a blast….. they are kind, genuine, fun and just pretty darn cool. we cannot wait to spend more time with them at their wedding next may!!!!! here are some ben + mindy faves……. ENJOY!!!














we met with micki, who is a swanky hair designer and her two fabulous friends months ago and let me just say….. there was not ONE moment of silence…. the entire meeting! in fact, i almost felt bad for ben who was surrounded by a LOT of estrogen with extreme energy!
it was definitely an instant connection with micki and we have been extremely excited about her and don’s wedding for some time now!
when it came time for the engagement session, we were thrilled that we finally got to meet the infamous don who had stolen sweet micki’s heart. i had asked micki ahead of time if don was ready to handle both her and i in the same night, but he was great!!!! don was kind, patient, and all around fantabulous!!! he was such a great sport since micki had been looking forward to pictures for some time now and she is such a MAD HOT fashion queen! we had a blast with you two and can’t wait for your wedding next month!!!! check out these two rockstars and all of the fabulous accessories and outfits that micki put together…. love that HAT!!! you are so HOT! enjoy………..
