Winner of Chicago Engagement Session

What a great crowd at the Wicker Park Bridal show today!!  Special thanks to Bride's Guide Magazine for having me and a big thank you to all who stopped by the booth.  I hope myself and my assistant Leslie were of some help in answering your photography questions.  I encourage you to fill out the Contact form and set up a meeting so we can discuss your wedding in a quieter setting.

Before I announce our winner, let me tell you a little bit about the prize itself.  The Chicago Sessions Engagement Package is a favorite of mine and is always a fun day for clients as well.  It's a special engagement shoot with the Windy City as our backdrop.  All images are taken in color and then turned into classic, cinematic black and white.  I add grain to make them look like film.  Think 1960's street photography or old hollywood romantic films. 

The color versions will be available just in case there's an image or two that is just begging for a spectacular color rendering like this Chicago Theater collage...

The Chicago Sessions Engagement Package includes:

 

  • 3 hours of photography
  • 7x7 Hardcover Photo Book
  • 8x10 Wrap
  • Train Transportation

 

We will meet at the South Shore train station and take the initial shot of the train arriving and then onto the city.  The entire session will last about 5 hours including train travel.  We will stop for a coffee and snack break and discuss your wedding as well.

So, without further delay - the winner from the Wicker Park Bridal Show is.....

Meghan Maloney!!

Congratulations!!!  I will be contacting you to make arrangements to claim your prize.  For those of you who did not win, when you hire me to shoot your wedding photography, I will be adding a complimentary 11x14 Premium Print into your package.  Be sure to remind me that you found me at the show.  Please fill out the Contact form and set up a meeting today.  We have been booking dates very fast lately.

Spring Ahead: The New Outdoor Family Photo Session

Here in Northwest Indiana we just received a gift from mother nature of a heatwave at 45 degrees!!  That means we can expect more snow, right?!!!  We are used to getting teased with those mild temperatures.  However, Spring will come soon and it will be the perfect time to gather the family for a "day in the life" outdoor photo session.

Imagine heading to The Dunes for 90 minutes of candid photography as well as some casually posed family portraits.  We can catch the entire family strolling down the beach as well as Mom and Dad snuggling and playing with the kids.  Invite Grandma and Grandpa along for the trip and capture all the generations together. 

Whatever family lineup you bring along, these outdoor sessions are always fun.  View and download the Outdoor Family Package brochure and take 10% for booking by March 1st.  We can decide the date and location later.

The above image was taken at Coffee Creek Park in Chesterton, Indiana.  A perfect location for outdoor family portraits.
