see that vintage carousel?? MUST. HAVE.

just a couple weeks ago, mindy was drawing pictures of her dream house…and she designed in room to put this carousel in a garden by the pool. so literally, it’s a place to shoot that mindy still dreams about. and we’ve only been able to shoot it twice.

only thing better than finding and shooting this carousel? spending the day with randon and meagan. if people walk away from spending time with mindy and i, and they say even half the nice things we said about randon and meagan after spending the day with them…i’ll take it!

check out this beautiful couple looking darn fine in some of our favorite pics from their session. enjoy!!

wind and photoshoots usually don’t go together….UNLESS WE’RE SHOOTING JOSH + HEIDI!!

remember that time that we were getting shots of josh and heidi while the wind was perfectly blowing heidi’s hair and scarf (work it!!), and then right when we framed the shot we wanted, the wind died. yeah, that was awesome. mindy had me hiding just below the shot, throwing heidi’s scarf in the air to try and make it look like it was still blowing, haha. i got some mad scarf throwing skills…even though we didn’t use any of those shots. hey, it was worth a shot! needless to say, all the shots we ended up going with were the real deal…real hair blowing in real wind, with a really awesome couple!

anyhoo…here’s some of our faves from this windy day (you’d never know it!) in the windy city.

joe is a glass blower. for a living!

seriously….we just went on a field trip to greenfield village last week and i couldn’t stop watching the guys blow glass. but come to find out, this isn’t only something people do at field trip hotspots. his art is AMAZING.

and then becca is a designer.
seriously people…is it possible for us to think you two have any more style?!!

so for this chicago engagement session…we pretty much talked about two things the whole time.

1. how amazing they looked in all of their pictures, and
2. all the fun business ventures we could do together.

joe. becca. we’re you’re biggest fans!!!
