AJ & ADAM VISIT AGAIN

December 11th, 2009

I love my sessions with AJ & Adam. They are two of the most animated brothers I have the pleasure of photographing every so often.  They last visited the Metimages studio in June during the studio kick-off week.  Mom & Dad brought them back last week for some more milestone photos and hopes of getting a few for holiday card pics as their visit with Santa the week prior did not go so well. We also had a great time dressing up as fireman, just like Dad!

Happy Holidays S Family!

WARM UP FOR THE HOLIDAYS

December 11th, 2009

We had another successful weekend hosting an Intimate Moments Marathon in downtown Chicago at the end of November.  Eight amazing women graced us with their presence over two fun-filled days.  Our accommodations were once again fantastic and the view was stunning from the living room area of the suite.

Here’s a small sample:

I’m planning the next Intimate Moments Marathon for the end of January, let me know if you are interested!

P.S. Almost all of these ladies are mom’s of two!

ANJALI & PAUL

December 3rd, 2009

I think we lucked out with yet another temperate fall day last Wednesday when I met up with Anjali and Paul downtown to photograph their engagement session.  The weather was mild as we posed and pranced down Michigan Ave. and it was even warmer at the lake on Oak Street Beach. Not at all what I expected for the day before Thanksgiving.  I did see a few raindrops on my way back to the suburbs, but it held off the entire time we were outside!

CALEB

December 2nd, 2009

Caleb is cute. Caleb is charming. Caleb is a little cautious. Of course he was all of the above until he warmed up and scooted all over the studio!  Caleb’s parents brought him by for a one year portrait session and I was so excited to finally meet the little guy, as I had photographed his parent’s wedding back in 2007.

See you again next year with Caleb’s younger sibling in tow!
