The Proposal

Here's a story, about Travis & Dana...

Travis decided to finally propose.  He wanted it to be special, so he planned to take Dana on a picnic, to the zoo, and finally to a B&B on Lake Michigan where he would ask the question at sunset.  He wanted everything photographed so he could create an album for her to keep.  This is the last stop, the presentment of the ring....

The Rock.

After dinner out, the couple returned to the B&B to enjoy some wine on the lawn overlooking Lake Michigan...
The wine...
Travis disappeared to go retrieve the ring!
Look at that empty finger!
Ah...sweet kiss

Travis takes Dana's hand and leads her to the edge of the bluff looking down towards the water.
Halfway down the stairs to the beach is a little landing.  They take a moment to enjoy the view...
Dana sits down on the bench and suddenly Travis drops to one knee.  She hardly knows what to do!
Dana has been longing for this day and its finally here!!

She is so excited!  She can't believe he planned the whole thing and she never suspected!



Travis is relieved and happy that all his planning paid off....she said YES!

Some ring shots.  Isn't it beautiful?

Windy City of Love

Last weekend I drove with my photog partner in crime, Theresa, to Chicago to do a couple of e-sessions (my people, her people).  It was exciting because I have personally never driven to Chicago.  I HATE to drive.  I loved living in the country because the roads were so quiet.  Six lanes of traffic all going one way is, well, insane!  But I did it!  With the help of Judy the GPS.  Although at times we must disregard her erratic directions (turn right -- um, on the expressway, Judy!).

In any event, we met up with Sara and Brian and began photographing them around their SW side neighborhood.  The architecture was amazing.  Sara's building was built in the 1800's.  After a brief intermission while waiting for Willy of Day & Night Towing to come unlock my husband's car (and I DID have the keys), we headed downtown Chicago.  It was a bitter 10 degrees F, but Sara & Brian were real troopers!  Eight hours of photographing around the city with only two breaks.  If you could have the best wedding clients, its this couple!  How many guys will let you take their photo for 8 hours?  I'm really looking forward to August!

Decisions, decisions....here's a few but I really love them all!
