I remember looking through the small little window on the airplane...just about to land in Chicago, I remember thinking this is so surreal. Crazy to be coming back to a place that I called home for most of my life. What a ridiculously cool opportunity. Gina and I were college roommates and kept in touch mostly through facebook over the last several years...but seeing her, talking with her on the phone...its so effortless. One of a kind, extremely easy to laugh with and just chill...okay, so we may have walked all throughout Chicago in two days...but it was fun and fabulous. Scott, I can so see the connection, the humor and the easy going attitude, the Chicago accent...what, I may have had one at one point but I really heard it with Scott. Makes me smile thinking of it. We ate pizza, might have had a beer, went to second city, hung out by the lake, stood on top of a bridge...okay that was me, but I was liking the angle. Ah...but my favorite was being on Michigan Avenue at oh, 10:30 at night...setting up a tripod in the middle of the street. It was a random and "safe" island. Watching Gina and Scott, laughing at myself and just wanting that moment to last...it was just a cool moment. ;p To say I enjoyed myself, to say that this trip was a highlight to my year...well, it just wouldn't do it justice. I can not wait to photograph their sweet wedding in September. Enjoy just a few pics from that weekend!

Colorado Springs Children's Portrait Photographer - Jordan
Okay...Jordan. How do I describe such a full of life, mischievous, energetic, intelligent, adorable, sweet child? Yes, how do I fully explain how much is packed into who Jordan is. He is simply amazing to me. Sweet and precious because of his relationship to me...he the son of one of my best friends. Jordan, is a close friend with my daughter as well. To watch him grow, to watch him laugh, tell jokes and become part of the man he will be someday...its exciting and an honor to be part of. Every few days Sarah will update her status on facebook with some funny comment that Jo makes...here are a few examples,
"Jordan wasn't happy when I told him I wouldn't ever buy him light up shoes. He said "well that's fine, I'll jut buy men light up shoes when I'm older!" haha! Good luck with the ladies kid."
or, "Yesterday, I woke up to Jordan in my room lifting weights, then doing some sit ups and push ups. I asked him what he was doing and he said "this is exercising Mom, do you know what that is?" Ouch. The worst part is, he wasn't being sassy, he really was going to explain it to me"
Seriously, he makes me smile...and this session was no exception...enjoy a few pics from that morning!
