  4. Ryan & Nicole Wedding Day

    Happy Cinco De Mayo! Today was our first wedding of the wedding season and we are thrilled it was Ryan & Nicole. Full post soon to come, but for now…yum.

     

  5. Sneak peek coming soon…

     


  6. Josh & Swee : Engaged

    This couple was so fun to be around. As soon as we spent a little time with them we realized how well they compliment each other. Josh constantly had Swee laughing and Swee has this kind depth about her that allowed them to make the most out of each moment.

    The first time they met, they met on a shooting range. It only seemed appropriate that we capture them with their guns! So hardcore…You guys rock.

    Thanks for the fun evening Josh and Swee! We are excited for the two of you to become husband and wife. We are honored to be a part of this time in your lives!

  8. This sweet family.

    Awww. They are so much fun. I met Heather when she came to visit our house to do some commissioned paintings for Jennifer…You can see her stuff here. She has a great gift and is super creative and free spirited in her creations!

    We got the privilege of visiting them at their farm and enjoying their beautiful acreage. Jason let me ride on their Cushman, which is like a big golf cart looking /four-wheeley /pickup thingy, because my ankle is broken.

    Too bad b/c I would have been frolicking through the woods. Luis was great with the kiddos and they showed us their special place where Addy will soon have her birthday party. This is such a lovely family. Thanks for the fun afternoon! Enjoy the peek at your photos.xo

     


  9. Play Day with the Babes…

    So in love.

     

  10. Remember this baby? Our newest housemate, she is now 3 months old! She makes the CUTEST coos and caas and makes my day when she laughs her head off at the goofy faces I make. She is the perfect work break to make my heart smile. I didn’t know that babies could even laugh, but my, it is such a special thing that they do.

     

  11. Our lovely, open-hearted, kind, intentional, Chicagan-Teacher friends, Matt & Anne. They show and remind us how to lovewell.

     

  12. Happy Sunday Chicago.

     


  13. Lyla Pearl is One

    And she decided to show off her princess shoes and walk around like a big girl…Now that she’s one year old! My how she’s grown since her first photo session with us! 

     

  14. Love is not self seeking…

    These couples in our family have/do teach us how to love well by the way they love each other.

    They show us that Valentine’s Day is more than just a day, by living different aspects of love each day, every day.
