Now for some "other" photos.

Yesterday I posted photos from a portrait session last week in Chicago's Millennium Park.  But of course if you know me you know I can't pass up a pretty flower...or a sun star...or funny things.  :)  So here are some of the "other" photos that I took alongside the portraits.

The Bean...one of those much-photographed icons that we still keep photographing anyways...

I love tulips!  And they're blooming all over Millennium Park right now -- I was in heaven!

 

Oh yeah, gotta do a self-portrait too!

Hey, even better -- I found a mirror!

Can't get enough of these...

I never pass up the opportunity for a sun star.  ;)

And now it's time for this sleepy photog-girl to head to bed.  I'm working on a photo book project and my eyes and brain are pretty well fried.  Have a great night everybody!

Miles and Katie

Last week before a wedding, I got to meet and help photograph Miles and Katie.  We went to Millennium Park in Chicago and had a grand time doing their portraits.  They are expecting their first child, and Katie has the cutest little baby bump...isn't she adorable?

I was second-shooting this weekend for my friend Britton Felber.  As you can see, he'll do anything for a great image!

I love Millennium Park.  There are so many cool shooting locations.  It's the perfect blend of urban and pretty.  :)

There were some lovely tulips blooming nearby, and I had a little fun with them afterwards using my 50mm lens...some of those coming tomorrow.  Meanwhile this tired photog needs some sleep.  Later!

Camera serendipity

You know those moments when you see something and hurriedly grab a shot of it and then realize that everything just came together for you? I was walking along Clark Street in Chicago, camera bag across my shoulder of course, and one of my friends pointed out the site of Al Capone's famous Valentine's Day Massacre across the street. Worth a photo, eh? So I was just raising my camera to grab a shot, when along came this cool old car. A little artistic editing, and...score!!

If you're ever on Clark Street, check out Chicago Pizza and Oven Grinder Co., across the street from Al Capone's spot. Wonderful food and very cool ambience. You can read about the building's colorful history here.
