Ryan & Julie (Sneak Peek)
The plan was to post another Chicago picture, complete the “Chicago Beauty” series, and then move on to a sneak peek of the engagement photo shoot I had this past weekend with my friends Ryan and Julie. But after looking through the pictures last night, I couldn’t help myself. I edited a several of my favorites and decided that I JUST HAD TO POST two of them.
Ryan, Julie, and I spent this past Sunday afternoon visiting several locations around Austin to take their engagement photos. Both of the below images were taken on S. Congress Ave, which is one of the more “unique” areas of the city. The whole afternoon was a blast – I hope they enjoyed their time as much as I did. Keep an eye out for more pictures in the future. Congratulations, Ryan & Julie!
Chicago Beauty
Nothing quite compares to a beautiful sunset over the Chicago skyline – a light breeze blowing in off the lake while the seagulls caw overhead. Summer is coming back to Chicago, and this will be the first year that I won’t be there to appreciate it since 1988. I hope this helps YOU appreciate it and anticipate it even more. This week, I’ll be posting more pictures that I took on this same evening. If you want to cheat, you can check out my Flickr page. I’d give you the link, but I don’t want you to cheat. I want you to come back to my blog later this week.

Mozart’s Snowflake
The image shown below was featured on Light and Composition’s website as “Photo of the Day” for March 5. I thought that it would only be appropriate if I featured it as the “Photo of the Day” on my own blog!
This picture was taken during a Meetup photoshoot in Austin, Texas. There is a small coffee place near downtown Austin called Mozart’s that displays a large amount of Christmas lights around the holidays. Several photographers got together and took pictures of the various lights at dusk. The lighting was good at this time of day to capture the Christmas lights, and I found a good angle to photograph this snowflake light. That night brought me back to a time in my life when Christmas was magical. I hope it does the same for you! Click on the picture to be taken to Light and Composition’s website.
