We met up at the Lincoln Park Zoo on one of the warmest, most humid days I have ever experienced in my life but they were troopers and worked it like the secret-supermodels they are.

In these next two, I told Sam to work it like all Alaskan men do.

As Amy’s hooding ceremony at Northwestern University was the next day, we had to snap a few of her in her cap, gown & hood. CONGRATULATIONS, Amy!

Moving on.

Marni & Matt – how I love thee! Let me count the (many) ways…The fun, the gorgeous, the passion and the smoking-hot-ness. I was in photographer’s heaven!

When I arrived at their home, Marni (a personal chef) had a little food prep to do in anticipation of hosting a feast for Mother’s Day so we captured a few around the house and with their little love, Gizmo.

Matt & Marni love to go to the Farmer’s Market so we decided to try out a new one, The Chicago French Market, where we sampled cheese, bread, beer & more.

Looking this hot is tiring work, so we re-fueled at Al’s Beef, a Chicago classic.

Matt & Marni wanted to have their wedding at a rustic farm but with all that rustic-ness, comes the authentic smell of cow dung. Less than ideal for a swanky soire, but tolerable (and fun!) for an afternoon of picture taking.

You two…Gorgeous.
