When I first talked to Laura, she told me that she and her wife Shenetta had never had professional photos taken before. Hearing this, I was deeply honored to be the photographer she chose to capture their love. I don’t take my job lightly because so often I am capturing once-in-a-lifetime moments in my clients’ lives, and this was no different. Since Chicago isn’t their forever home, I wanted to leave them with something they’ll always be able to look back on from their time here. (And of course that meant including some lake and skyline in their photos!).

From our first hellos I knew we’d have a great photo session together. Laura and Shenetta are so full of warmth and despite any camera jitters they may have had, were completely trusting and such naturals. In between shots I got to know them better and by the time we were finished I felt like I had simply spent my evening hanging out with two cool people.

Enjoy some photographs of our time together 🙂

Location: Lincoln Park Nature Boardwalk + North Avenue Beach
