Votes Needed!

Darling readers, I've submitted one of my photos to the GeckoGo photo contest and need votes to be considered by the expert panel.  The image I've submitted (below) is under the "portrait" category.  The winner gets a free trip and, as you know, I'm itching to travel!

Emily & Brody: Engagement Session

After a couple of rain delays I was finally able to shoot Emily and Brody's engagement session at Gillson Beach in Wilmette.  This session may have been a long time coming but the blue skies and calm waters made it well worth the wait!  The North Shore beach holds many fond childhood memories for the [...]

Jen and Jeff’s Marriage Celebration
