The Chapmans (Portrait Session)

This week we are spending the Holiday Season back in my home town of Chicago, IL.   While we are here we have a couple of sessions lined up.  One of our sessions took place yesterday at the Chapman’s residence.

I photographed this beautiful family while they were visiting Hilton Head last year.  This session was a little different, since it now took place in the snow rather then the beach!  hehehe

Carin and Craig’s two boys, Jack and Nicholas have so much energy!  They are the cutest little boys, and know how to have fun!  It was a blast to be able to play and shoot in the snow, and I think the boys enjoyed it too.  :)

Rich and I had such a good time with your family, and congratulations on the little one that is on the way!  Jack and Nicholas will soon have a little sister!

Thank you for letting us spend the afternoon with your family!

I thought I’d share a couple images from the day. :)

Meet the Chapmans!

Lindsey and Jonathan (Engagement)

What a weekend!  Here in Savannah, our weekend was a very wet and cold one, all weekend!!! :(

Off course, this was the weekend Lindsey and Jonathan traveled down here (Jonathan from Connecticut) for their engagement session.  After our plan A and plan B were ruled out by Mother Nature, we moved on to plan C. Our plan C was an early morning shoot (a sunrise shoot) on Monday, which we decided to shoot out on the beach.

Since the rain was finally clearing out, we expected a bright beautiful sunrise.  Well as we woke up that morning, all that could be seen was a very very dense fog.  No sunrise, not even close. What we did find though, was a silent beautiful beach all to ourselves.  It could not have been more romantic!

There is just something so simple and majestic about heavy fog, I have always loved shooting in it.  Lindsey and Jonathan were great sports, and trusted me when I said that I promised that these will be pretty too!

Lindsey and Jonathan have a relationship that is fun, beautiful, and true.  You can tell that it’s one of those relationships that seems easy, and just works.

You two are perfect for each other, and I can not wait to witness you guys tie the knot in February!

Meet Lindsay and Jonathan!

Happy Holidays!!!

With this weekend being such a dreary one weather wise, we thought what better time to send out some Holiday cheer!

And what better way to express our cheer then with some fun holiday pics! :)

The Holiday season is the perfect time to remember the things you hold most dear. For us that starts with family and friends.

Happy Holidays to all! May your Holiday season be a safe and relaxing one!

Helping others…

It’s always fun to help out other photographers when you can… Its especially fun when you get to work in a different genre than your own! :)

Rich, recently had the opportunity to do this, assisting the incredibly talented Kevin Banker, of Banker Optical Media, on a commercial architecture shoot. Rich quickly realized, that shooting architecture is a whole different level of photography. It takes a different “eye” and different set of skills.

It just goes to show to you that, there ARE different photographers suited for different genres and mediums. ;)

Usually being behind the camera, Rich found it fun and inspiring to be on the assisting side of things. Every photographer has their own “eye”, so it was great for him to try and envision the final creations that Kevin had shot.

Here are a couple of Kevin’s shots from the day.

What a gorgeous home!

Cat and Adam (Engagement)

This week we had the pleasure of shooting Cat and Adam’s engagement session!

Cat and Adam are both “Gators” as they both graduated from The University of Florida. So as you can imagine, this weekend is a big one for Gator football, with the SEC Championship game against Alabama.

While attending The University of Florida, as fate would have it, Adam sat behind Cat in class. Adoring Cat from afar, Adam finally worked up the nerve and eventually asked her out…. a couple times. :) When Cat finally said yes, these two started a beautiful relationship and have been inseparable since! You two are such a amazing couple to be around. We had such a great time sharing stories, smiles, and laughs.

With the fact the Adam proposed to Cat in Savannah, this city holds a special place in their hearts. Cat knew exactly where she wanted their engagement session to be captured…  and she wanted to start it off at one of her favorite Savannah stores, Paris Market.  As we strolled through the eclectic mix of worldly artifacts, we captured some affectionate and fun moments.  We then decided on a brisk walk through the historic downtown district. As it started to get chilly out, we decided to move the session to the beautiful, new Bohemian Hotel (where they were staying).

I can’t wait for your Big Day next year!

Meet Cat and Adam!

molly losey - These are beautiful and creative. Not the boring, standard frozen poses. Of course you too are so good looking, all the photos are great but I like the second to last the best.
