This is the look that’ll knock breast cancer on its a**.  Sarah and I had the honor of running the Susan G. Komen race for the cure this past Sunday.  I couldn’t be more proud of my wife for taking up this cause and getting me involved.

I was so close to the water spout that struck Lake Michigan on Saturday, just not at the right time.

It’s starting to get chilly for all of us here at 730 W. Washington.

Not sure the purpose of this display, how it got there, or who did it for that matter, but it is very cool.  I always smile, laugh, and shudder to think of their imminent extinction as I drive by it.

Summer slowly relinquished its hold over us.  The shortening day foretells of an arctic chill making its journey south.  Should be here in a few months according to its itinerary.

We knew working with these two on their wedding day would be awesome because we really enjoyed shooting their engagement session.  Loved the propeller cufflinks Elliot sported – being a pilot and all – they suited him perfectly.  They even actually spun!  Lakefront Brewery never disappoints.  You have got to try their INDIA BLACK ALE – awesome!  The wedding band was definitely one of the highlights – hope to see those guys again.  Seriously, they were terrific.  If you want to really show your guests a good time, hire these guys – they rock!  Congrats to the happy couple – you guys really know how to put on a partaaaay!  Thanks again:)

Mona was hoping for a Chewie (the chihuahua) enchilada for dinner.  These two have become fast friends despite the cultural, language, and size barriers.

Why do I think North Africa every time I look at this lantern?  Am I going insane or am I in the Nile?

As a child I was always mesmerized by rain droplets on the window of an automobile.  I’d try to count them, get bored, then finally make a game of seeing how many droplets a falling one could collect as it made it raced down the window to sudden death on the slippery asphalt.  As an adult I still find myself participating in the same game and often scold myself for indulging in such childish ventures till I realize perhaps its not so much a childish game that enthralls me as much as it is the nostalgia of  an innocence just out of an adult’s reach.

Kaitlyn is an absolute doll and she was super easy to work with – a natural in front of the camera.  We couldn’t believe how much she reminded us of Selena Gomez!  Hope to work with her again in the future because Steven and I had such a blast.  Good luck with your future endeavors in the fashion industry Kaitlyn.  You are on your way to becoming a star on the scene:)
