{Elizabeth W. Bachelorette Party!}

Don't worry - everything is PG here on this blog :) I had the extreme pleasure of getting in touch with Allison to be the official photographer of her sister Elizabeth's bachelorette party. What an incredibly fun evening it was! Four hours of good friends and family on a Chicago Trolley fully stocked with adult beverages, AMAZING weather, scooting around the streets of our great city. We stopped at important Chicago landmarks, as well as a few sentimental spots that hold a lot of memories for the bride and groom. This is a Mega Sneak Peek - as, once again, I had a hard time narrowing down which ones to show!

Thank you so much Allison & Elizabeth, for including me in such a great night!

{Retro Pin Up - Females in Focus}

The photography group "Females in Focus" is so many different things for me - not just a way to get out and shoot more. It stretches my creative boundaries, gives me an opportunity to photograph subjects that I may normally not have on a regular basis, and most importantly, gives me an opportunity to befriend some amazingly creative women and learn from them in the process! This particular shoot I learned more about studio lighting and set up...which is something I will forever need work with! AND, I got to utilize a REAL studio :) It was so much fun! Thanks to Gina & Karen again for organizing, and to our models Carolyn, Sunny & Beca!









These previews are pretty tame. It really was a Pin Up / Boudoir shoot - you can always see more at Flickr!

I have the privilege of being involved with a group of amazing women photographers aptly named "Females in Focus". This group is for women to get together, talk about the industry, grow our business, and most of all - help support and empower each other. A fabulous creative resource if you ask me! Our gathering for the month of January was at the beautiful Garfield Park Conservatory, and featured the musings of Indian saris and headdress on our beautiful models Carolyn, Janessa and Eva. Make up and Hair was by Veronica.
