Last weekend it was HOT. After a July with an average temp of 68 degrees, suddenly dealing with temps in the 90s was a bit of a shock to the system! I still had a great time photographing the Glencoe Grand Prix – the excitement and drama of the races totally [well, almost] took my mind off the heat.
I worked with a great group of writers and photographers Sunday, and the end result of that work is going to be a coffee table book of the weekend’s events to benefit the Glencoe Educational Foundation. I will let you know when the book is available for purchase (:
Oh, and does anyone know these cuties? I didn’t get their contact info, but if I recall correctly they called themselves the “Grove Street Crew” or “Grove Street Posse.” I have some really adorable pictures of them that I’d like to send their way, if only I new how!

Wow. The only description I can think of for July is insanely busy [but FUN]. On top of photography, I am taking two classes that are fun and creative and challenging [and veryvery time consuming]. The weekend of July 4th seems like ages ago. That Friday I photographed the wedding of a fun and beautiful couple at the fun and beautiful Pleasant Home in Oak Park. Here a are just a few detail shots from before the ceremony. More to come, as usual. Weddings always get multiple posts!
Seriously. It was lovely. (:

Had another Yelp! event a couple of weeks ago – this was their first kid-friendly yoga themed event, held at Bloom Yoga Studio. And of course it was a blast! Here are a few favorites…
Enjoy!!
I’m uploading the gallery from this beautiful wedding, and just had to post another little preview of some bride & groom images while I wait.
J and I just got home this morning from vacation (Mt. Rushmore!!) and I have a LOT of catching up to do. If you are waiting for a gallery, they will all be up this week.
A few pics from last weekend’s wonderful wedding. Beautiful ceremony, adorable couple, huge party… all the makings of a fabulous day! And I was honored to capture some of it (: Here’s a tiny pre-ceremony preview.

Whoa. The Yelp! Retro Spring Fling was awesome. The only bad thing about this party was that I spent three hours with my back to it!! And the only thing that could have made it better was a personal appearance by John Hamm as Don Draper [DREEEEEAMY to the max]. But no complaints because I had an awesome time photographing all the Yelpers in their retro gear. I tell you what, those folks really need to loosen up (read: sarcasm).
Before I get to more photos, I need to give a nice shout-out to the Catalyst Ranch. If you are in Chicago and need a place to hold an event, retreat, meeting, party, wedding, or anything where two or more people are gathering you must [MUST] check this place out.
Okay. Now to the photos. I can’t even begin to tell you how difficult it was deciding which images to put on the blog. It finally came down to closing my eyes and clicking randomly. After these photos, I’ll post the link the entire gallery (:
Looks fun, right? See the entire gallery here.
Also, if you are in some of the photos, I posted an album on Facebook. Please feel free to go tag yourself. I’ll be adding more as I have time, but if you don’t see your pic on FB right now and want me to add it, just let me know and I’ll do that ASAP.
AND, if you were one of the lucky winners of a free portrait session or print credit, let me know when you’re ready for your close up!

I do believe I promised some more images from the Big Swap Bonanza!! Specifically, “the cutest salt & pepper shakers evah, a pogo-sticking U of Chicago student, and some rockin’ rockabillies (Pearls Mahone and the One-Eyed Jacks)!” Here you are, respectively:
Would it have been wrong to buy these and NOT use them as S&P shakers? I just wanted to put it on my shelf and think about how cute it is:
Do wish I’d gotten his email so I could send a copy. Not every day you pogo around with the Sears Tower and Soldier Field as a backdrop:
My favorite song was “Stalker” (:
Enjoy (: Amarylis update, newborn cutie, and retro par-tay pics to come!

Long time, no post! Now that the weather is [unpredictable, but] nice, things are starting to pick up at city|view photography. But I need to make updating the blog more of a priority… what better way to start that, than with some images of someone you might recognize?!
This week was the first official Big Swap Bonanza, brought to us lucky Chicagoans by the same folks who bring us the Chicago Antique Market. I had a fabulous time photographing the event, where I got to meet and photograph Design on a Dime’s Frank Fontana!!
Tell me that wasn’t worth getting up at 5am for (: And somehow I managed to stop myself from begging him to come decorate the newly-built loft/office that has consumed much of my life the last two months.
More images from this event to come, including the cutest salt & pepper shakers evah, a pogo-sticking U of Chicago student, and some rockin’ rockabillies (Pearls Mahone and the One-Eyed Jacks)!
Until then,
A
