Traveling has been a passion of mine since I got my first passport at 6 months old (no joke!) I sat on my moms lap and made gaga sounds at the photographer. I started traveling alone at age 6 to visit my Aunt in Missouri every Summer. I haven't stopped since. Where I go, my camera follows. I love experiencing new places and capturing each one in my own way.
Some of you may not know, but I spent the last week and half of July in Chicago. I ate some Jimmy Johns, saw my best friend and had a lot of photo shoots!
One of those being, Amy and Jake who are getting married next July in the ‘burbs of Chicago. I am so excited! Amy is my sorority sister from College and I had the pleasure of meeting Jake for the first time. We met up at Cantigny Park. This is a gorgeous place! The museum is closed on Mondays so we had the entire place to ourselves!
With storm clouds looming overhead, we made our way to the Naperville Fire Station, where Jake is employed. This was a new experience for me, and it was fun having free range on the engine and the station! 🙂
It was so great hanging out with you two, I can’t wait for next Summer and your awesome wedding!
Special thanks to my assistant Tina for driving me and helping me shoot! You rock!
xoxo, M
