Jessica & Marcus : Wedding

You might remember their fantastic engagement session. Now just wait till you see the wedding! The weather was perfect, and I have truly never seen a more stunning bride and groom.

Do you see the shoes Jess is wearing? These made her one very tall lady (and Marcus is 6'5"!), so I spent a lot of time climbing up onto chairs, steps, ladders... anything I could find to boost my 5'3". Her blue shoes also gave us something unique in common, since I also wore blue heels on my wedding day. Jess, you've got great style! :-)


Here are a few more of my favorites. For more, be sure to check out their slideshow.

Meet Sabrina

Sometimes I forget how tiny new babies are! Little Sabrina was just nine days old on the day of her session, and weighed in at 6lbs 1 oz. She just looked SO TINY. After photographing so many little boys lately, I had a lot of fun with all the pink. :-)

To see more of this sweet little face, check out her slideshow or her session previews at www.imagesbysharp.com.

Klaudyna + Kris: Engaged

I always get excited about a new location, and the Lightology store's rooftop was one of the best new locations I've found in a long time. Who knew such a quiet green space was nestled four stories above Chicago Avenue? The skyline views, blue skies, and hip furniture made a perfect setting for Klaudyna and Kris's engagement photos.


Klaudyna and Kris, I LOVE the images we made together! I'm really looking forward to your October wedding!!!

Hello, Dane!

Oooh! Babies are so very sweet when they are this teeny tiny. Week-old baby Dane was a very good little boy, and slept through almost his entire session, only waking when he needed a little snack. The best part were the snuggles I got after the picture taking was finished. :-)

His slideshow is here. It's a beauty, if I do say so myself!

And here's a peek at his precious face:

Happy Birthday Dane!

I had the huge privilege last week to help support (and, of course, photograph) my dear friend LeAnn as she birthed her second son. There are just no words for what a sacred moment it is when a new life enters the world. I am REALLY looking forward to a newborn session with this little guy, but in the mean time, thought I'd share the slideshow I put together of his birthday. Welcome to the world, little guy!
