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.
On Mother’s Day I met Jodi, Adam and the kiddos at Old Poway Park.
Rayce is 6 months old now!! You may remember him from the blog I did on his birth!
Riyen loves her little brother! Just wait until he is old enough to fight back! haha
<3 This!
Such a happy baby!
I love you guys!

My second engagement shoot in Chicago took place downtown, starting at Buckingham Fountain. Rosy and Andy are getting married this coming July in Rockford, IL. I can’t wait for their wedding the location is going to be awesome!
Rosy and Andy kept me laughing the entire time, including singing I’m On A Boat word for word. “I got my swim trunks and my flippy-floppies” haha
There was lots of laughing during the shoot!
Beautiful 🙂
It did get a little windy and cold as the sun went down!
Favorite <3
It was great getting to know you two! See you in a few months!

The first one was Allana and Sherwin! We wandered the Chicago Botanic Garden, which was awesome because I had never been there. Its a gorgeous park with beautiful landscaping!
And who doesn’t love a beautiful apple orchard?

Heading over to the Chinese Garden area…
I cannot wait for your wedding!! I had such a blast laughing with you two!

As I started posting this blog, I noticed that I am *this close* to my 2,000th comment!! I won’t say exactly how close, but VERY close! My lucky 2000th commenter will get a $10 iTunes gift card from moi!!
UPDATE: Okay, I was sneaky…I had 1999 comments when I posted this blog, so Bethany was the first to comment! Congrats to her!
Katherine and Anthony were married on May 9th at the NTC Chapel. It was an extremely intimate ceremony, just immediate family, most of which stood on the altar with the happy couple!
The beautiful bride, minutes before the ceremony:
The handsome Anthony, ready to get married!
It was held in the smaller side chapel at NTC
My favorite image of the day 🙂
After some photos, the family chatted a bit, and Katherine tossed her bouquet to the kids!
And they had fun catching it!
After, everyone headed to Baci Ristorante for some dinner
and cake!
A nice toast was given by Anthony’s brother
Thank you for choosing me to capture your very special and intimate day! Hope married life is treating you well!

I’m a little behind in blogging since I have been traveling and shooting non-stop for the last few weeks! I’m playing major catchup this week!
I met with the gorgeous Jenny to take some informal headshots of her. She needed an updated photo of herself for work. Big thanks to my friend, Carrie for the referral!
Jenny was an absolute natural in front of the camera! Her beauty is evident inside and out! I had so much fun getting to know her, can’t wait to get together again and have Ethiopian food!
We joked if she ever made a music album, this would be the cover! haha
Wow. Stunning. Favorite.
I hope you had a blast Jenny, you are such an awesome person!
XOXO, M
