Ori is two!!! Little Bean Cafe birthday party!

Ori is 2 and had an adorable party at Little Beans Cafe in Chicago!  I loved that it was a halloween party and there were so many fun costumes.  Ori’s elephant costume was awesome!  Here’s a couple of images from the party 🙂

Ori was ready to go and didn’t want to be bothered by posed pictures, but I’m glad we got him for this one with Mommy and Daddy!

He loved those trucks enough to go through the tunnel with them!

Even the parents go into the playing, but a coffee was necessary too 😉

The grocery store was quite busy on this Sunday!  Ori will ring up your order though.

The bbq team came too!

Ori loved reading with his grandma.

This reminds me of Toy Story 3!

Ori had an awesome birthday cake to blow out.

He needed a little help from mommy and daddy!

He enjoyed a little fondant from his cake!

Kristin’s head shots!

I had a great time shooting Kristin’s head shots at Busse woods.  We survived the wind and came up with some beautiful pictures of her.  Kristin is an amazing chiropractor and acupuncturist in the western suburbs!  Check her out at http://www.thewellnesschiro.com/!

Jill and Mike are wedded!

It was so much fun to photograph Jill and Mike’s Wedding!  I went to middle school with Jill and most of the bridesmaids 🙂  Since we went to different high schools, we weren’t the best at staying in contact.  Thanks to facebook and it’s amazing wonders, we were able to stalk each other and she asked me to be her wedding photographer!  It was great to see everyone after years of not seeing each other and it was like middle school was yesterday  (well other than being a bit more mature)!  Jill and Mike went to high school together and even though it took a couple of years for them to end up as a couple, they were definitely meant to be!

Jill got ready at her grandma’s house and I love all the little personal touches that the house gave.  It’s like her grandma was there in spirit through her house!

The ceremony was at St. Thomas Becket Church in Mount Prospect.

Jill made the bouquets and boutonniere herself!  They are awesome and so unique!

We went downtown Des Plaines to do some fun shots!

This is the first time I’ve shot people at the reception dancing to the chicken dance!  They pictures are hysterical and I think it needs to be done at every wedding for my own amusement!

Gretchen and Justin are married:: Gorgeous vintage wedding at Cafe Bauer::

Gretchen and Justin had an amazing wedding at Cafe Bauer!  Gretchen looked stunning in her vintage wedding dress with her grandmother’s veil.  It was a beautiful unique day and I was excited to be a part of it!

Gretchen surprised everyone by changing into another wedding dress before the first dance!  She looked amazing and I was stunned when I learned she made it herself.

We had to do some night photos with this gorgeous new dress 😉
