Yes. This teen’s birthday party was a fun as it looks. Mom asked me to set up the photo booth, in addition to doing some candids of the girls. Hosted at Evanston Print and Paper, the girls ate pizza, sang at the top of their lungs, danced like crazy, had makeup makeovers by a professional makeup artist, and screen-printed their own pillowcases, before heading home for a sleepover. Isn’t that the funnest girlie birthday party ever? The evidence is in the pictures, people (:
If you’re interested in having the photo booth bring out the silliness at your next party, just let me know!

Pulling Down the Moon needed some yoga-themed photos for their studio, and I was happy to oblige (: Thanks to my good friends Jeni (a yoga instructor at Pulling Down the Moon) and Gwen (who is running the Chicago MARATHON this weekend!) for being beautiful models and good sports!! You can see more from this session in my flickr set.
Now, don’t you feel relaxed?
I randomly came across this quote the other day and thought it was appropriate: “A photographer gets people to pose for him. A yoga instructor gets people to pose for themselves.” {Terri Guillemets}
So sorry for not posting the winner of the free photography contest yesterday – it was a travel day and I underestimated how much I wouldn’t want to spend my first night in Nevada on the computer (: Having said that, I am all settled in now, and ready to announce the winner…. drumroll, please…
Congratulations to LIZ, commenter number 3!!!!!!
I believe I have seen Liz (and even photographed her) perform with Pyrotechniq, but I’ve never actually met her so I’m looking forward to that, and to figuring out which one of her fun events I’m going to get to photograph! Liz, I’ll be in touch soon to start planning (:
The winner was chosen using Random.org, but I only have J’s laptop (I’m a Mac; he’s a PC) so I have no idea how to do a screen capture or crop or anything so you’ll have to trust me for now. Hopefully he can help me with that later and I can update this post with the Random.org’s results via an image.
Happy Wednesday!

J and I spent part of Saturday at the annual kite festival at Montrose Harbor. So fun and the weather was perfect – cloudy, not too hot, and plenty of wind.
This was our kite – a beauty, no?

Here are a few more images from the Easter Vigil at St. Luke’s. It was lovely and the pictures just don’t do it justice. I hope you enjoy them anyway (:

I was honored to photograph the Easter Vigil at St. Luke’s Lutheran Church in Logan Square on Saturday. The service began just before sundown with the blessing and lighting of the Easter fire, and St. Luke’s does that with the help of Pyrotechniq‘s amazing fire dancers. It was a dazzling beginning to the beautiful Easter Vigil that followed.

A couple of weekends ago I got to photograph Graham’s first birthday. It was wild and crazy and so much much fun! The food looked delish, the decorations were perfection, and even the Wiggles were there. It was a first birthday to remember, that’s for sure. I think Graham’s favorite part was the cake…
Yummy!!
