The Campbells are back on the blog! We did a family photo session for Matt, Becky, and Kate last year under completely different weather conditions. That day, it was bright, crisp, and beautiful outside; this year, it was cold, rainy, soggy. Unfortunately, the first indoor location we selected for this year’s photo session, as a result of the weather, was occupied by a special event, so we had to improvise again. In the end, it all worked out, and we got some great pictures of this beautiful family! There’s a lesson for you young photographers – always be ready to be flexible!

While visiting my family & Katie’s family in Illinois this holiday week, we were able to carve out some time to spend with friends. My best friend, Mike, and his fiancee, Brittany, already had tickets to the Friday afternoon Cubs game, so we decided to join them, but not before a detour through the South Pond area of Lincoln Park Zoo to take some engagement pictures! I have always wanted to take engagement or wedding pictures at this location because of the really cool architecture and the combination of the outdoor/natural feel with the awesome views of the Chicago skyline. (The Hancock Building, left, and the Sears Tower, faint right, are both shown in second picture below, which I love.) And it works out perfect when you also get to hang out with really good friends who recently got engaged! Anyway, we spent about an hour and half taking pictures before finally catching a cab up to Wrigley Field, buying some pizza, scalping two tickets for me and Katie, and then watching the Cubs lose to the Pirates (sigh). It was a lot of fun, and nothing beats Chicago in the summer (Chicago in the fall is pretty close, though). These few images below were just the first few to catch my eye as I was reviewing them in Lightroom – expect more to come in the near future! Congrats to Mike & Brittany! Can’t wait for the wedding in September!
This past weekend, we had the privilege to see two people that we’ve known for a few years finally tie the knot! Not only that, but we got to take pictures of it too! I’ve known Jimmy and Vanessa for what seems like the entire time that I’ve lived in Texas and gotten to know each of their families too. The great part: now they’re one big family! It’s been awesome to see what God’s done in each of their lives and how He brought them together. After doing Jimmy & Vanessa’s engagement photos back in May, we had been looking forward to their wedding day, and it was beautiful. Katie and I were really excited to be the photographers, and we’re also really excited how the pictures turned out. Usually, I just do a small “sneak preview” with only a few images, but there were so many good ones, I just had to post a bunch! Add a comment if you’d like, and let me know what YOU think!

Congrats to Jimmy & Vanessa Jackson!
