Engagement Session at Buckingham Fountain - Chicago Area Photographer

M & M are such a cute couple. They wanted to go back to where Mr. M proposed for some engagement photos. The historic Buckingham Fountain in downtown Chicago is such a beautiful location. I had a lot of fun getting to know them, there were lots of smiles during our session. I swear that Mr. M has hidden talents as a photo model, he was working the camera! I wish both of them many years of happiness ahead. M & M, thank you for allowing me to capture the love I saw this beautiful morning in downtown Chicago.






















In the last few minutes of our session they turned on the fountain. I just know that this has to be a good sign for things ahead. :)

Urban Art - Chicago Area Photographer

It's not easy to get out of one's comfort zone but good things always happen when you do. This time I was in search of some urban stories. Life is full of beauty, not just found in flowers. Here is some of the art I captured....

Do you know what this is?

Stacked up crates.

The dreaded sign... that seems to be on every highway, main street and side street in the whole state of Illinois. This one was on a sidewalk! UGH!

The town square had beautiful art work painted on chairs for display. Here are a few of my favorites.

Have a great week! Try to step out of your comfort zone.
