Welcome to my Chicago wedding blog, where I share my latest work and the deeper stories behind the photos. I hope you find inspiration here and connect with the feelings I had when I created each one.

A little Reindeer!

I had a great time with my cousins who drove in from the suburbs to Chicago. Dawn & Yutaka have the cutest girl and I adore the way she says my name! She almost sings my name! The emphasis goes up in the middle and down at the end. The. Best. They brought some cute props and we had a great time taking these holiday photos! It was their first professional photography session, so I wanted to make sure they got some good photos! =)

We start off with a nice family portrait

I love how she is standing on her tippy toes in this photo!

Her smile just makes you want to smile!

Dawn and Yutaka both have personalized stockings, so we had their little one carry hers too!

An awesome portrait of the reindeer!

Nothings says anticipation of Christmas better than milk and cookies! =) I think it helps bring a smile to everyone’s face!

Thanks you guys for a great photo session! It was a fun time! I’m glad that you guys were able to see the new studio! And a shout out to Dawn, Yutaka, Keith and Donna for the studio gift! It was a surprise and will no doubt be used on a daily basis! You guys were so thoughtful and generous- Thanks for all your support!

with love,

Kenny
