I don’t know about you, but it’s almost always impossible to figure out what to give my parents for their birthdays or other gift-giving occasions (read: Father’s Day is coming up – get thinking!). I’m learning that I am not alone in this plight; it seems to be a universal problem. Last fall my friend Liz and her brother had the same problem when deciding what to get their father for his upcoming birthday until she remembered that the photos he displayed in his office were of his children from ten+ years ago with all the fabulosity that came with pictures from the mid-90′s. And so the idea for a photoshoot with Liz & Mike was born.
Being new to Chicago and the Midwest, I was thrilled when Liz suggested we meet her brother in Lake Geneva, WI. In particular, I ADORE fall so the idea of a lake and trees in all their fall brilliance was right up my alley. As the youngest of three daughters, I always wished I had a brother so I find the interactions between brothers & sisters fascinating, and Liz and Mike did not disappoint. I love how a couple of these photos reveal the difference in their personalities. Mike just about rolled his eyes out of their sockets with mine & Liz’s attempts to get him to be silly.
And a few of the fall beauty on Lake Geneva.
