Candi & Eric by Molly Grace Featured on STYLE UNVEILED!

Ever since my own wedding in March, style unveiled has been making us blush! It was amazing to have my own wedding featured on STYLE UNVEILED but it’s been an entirely different and huge honor to have my own work published in STYLE UNVEILED as well! Candi and Eric had a beautiful wedding at U.S. Celluar Field  this past February that expressed their style and love. See the full spread here.

Melissa & Joey

Melissa and Joey’s wedding is just around the corner.  It was fun getting to spend some time with them before the wedding.  I have been to the arboretum many times and I had fun looking for some different spots and angles that I haven’t tried before!  We also took advantage of an impending storm which made some beautiful colors and light at the lake.  Thanks for following me around, can’t wait for the wedding!

Emma turns 2!

So exciting to see Emma again this year after photographing her last year when she turned one.  Two is so fun yet so hard to shoot, they are all over the place and forget about any interest in getting her picture taken!  So I usually suggest something fun for them to do and I just shoot them being 2, that is always best anyway:)  We went to a near by park and had a blast!!

This photograph is a reminder to never let your guard down, I know I treasure this type of interaction with my daughter, it won’t be long until she doesn’t need me anymore!  This was just as we got out of the car and were walking to the park.  So sweet!

This was definitely one of the funniest things at a kids shoot, the static from the slide sent practically every hair to the sky!

One of the most fun things about working with kids is seeing their expressions and imagining what they are thinking with a face like this!

A girl after my own heart, climbing up the hard way and she could almost do it all by herself but it was the trying that makes it so special!

This was fun as Emma investigated the water spray!

Nothing sweeter than how much a mom loves her baby…

I thought the pictures were beautiful, I love the hair on Emma, hysterical!
The one with Emma walking, she looks so confident and happy!
Loved them all!

Jason and Robyn are expecting!

I haven’t shot a maternity session in awhile and it was a very refreshing change of pace and a good challenge…including the mob of mosquitos that followed us everywhere!  I think it was totally worth it even though it looks like I have chicken pox!  I love these pictures and we waited for the perfect day and it looks like we got it!  Looking forward to meeting their TWINS in another month:)

Kristina,
Wow, that’s cool, I guess I just think your people are always shooting by a big tree. I’ll have to keep the Arboretum in mind for the future. Thanks for the reply.

To answer your question Brian since so many people ask me about this, I have actually never used the same trees. They are all just big trees I find from place to place if I even do this shot which I don’t do as often as you might guess :) This one was at the Morton Arboretum. Thanks!

I love the photos, and noticed the photo by the enormous tree that your photogs tend to use…I have to ask, where is that? I love it. I just did a series for an expectant couple and we did it all outdoors which turned out really nicely, they loved them.

We loved the pictures. Robyn you look beautiful, Jason you are so loving. WE are just so excited for you both that things are going in the right direction. We love you both so much. Can’t wait to meet Taylor and Nicholas when they arrive.

Beautiful pictures guys!! Im real happy for you. Enjoy every moment of your journey together !!

Kristi & Jon

Kristi & Jon were engaged in wine country so I thought it was really fitting that they wanted to incorporate that into their session by bringing wine from the winery where Jon asked Kristi to marry him.  They were such fun and up for anything with a view of the skyline!  They are getting married at the Planetarium so clearly Chicago is their favorite backdrop:)  Enjoy!

Jon helping Kristi get the grass out of her hair, she was jumping around like they were insects. I never saw anyone spooked by grass, it was hilarious. I was cracking up and glad she trusted me enough to take a risk and try something different.

Wow! Gorgeous pictures! Kristi & John make it easy! :) I LOVE LOVE LOVE the picture of the city scape with their backs facing it. I want a version of me and my husband for my living room.

I like the one with the wine glasses in the foreground… but not surprisingly I would bet that the wine is completely gone!
