Last Sunday was my birthday. A big birthday - more on that later. For as long as I can remember, my dad has given my sisters and me flowers on our birthdays. This year called for 30 white roses - so gorgeous! I got this vase as a favor from a friend's wedding a couple [...]
Garfield Park Conservatory is one of my favorite spots in the city for portrait sessions but, unfortunately, a hail storm several months ago did some major damage to the glass panes in a couple of the rooms.
