julie + patrick: engagement party!

country chic.

BLONDEPHOTO_090926_018_5430

big red barns + twinkling white lights make me very, very happy.

imagine taking a perfectly picturesque venue and decking it out with buckets of bright yellow mums, bales of hay, clusters of corn stalks and big orange pumpkins. then mix in a totally rockin’ band, great food, 150 or so happy family + friends, and one of the nicest, cutest couples ever. the result was a simply fabulous celebration for julie + patrick! yay!

i was thrilled to document this event, and excited to trek out to poolesville and check out pat’s family farm. although it was a very wet + rainy evening, the barn provided perfect shelter and an unbelievable atmosphere for all the excitement surrounding this couple!  i literally shrieked with delight when i saw the fantastic barn all lit up, and didn’t stop smiling from the moment i met julie + patrick. they absolutely exude goodness + happiness. they are getting married next fall and i know they are looking forward to an exciting year of planning and celebration – woohoo!

enjoy!

gracyn + kimsey: lifestyle session!

new baby + new big sister!

BLONDEPHOTO_090917_001-3

hello baby gracyn!

this delightful 4-week old baby girl was such a joy to photograph. i loved spending the morning with her + big sister kimsey (don’t you just *adore* their gorgeous names?) – it was a joy watching their amazing mom shannon swoon over them! shannon is good friends with the fabulous kristin demarco – nursery designer + mommy extraordinaire – so it was no surprise that i fell in love with shannon + her girls immediately.

i love seeing mothers interact with their children – there is something wonderfully overwhelming about witnessing that kind of limitless, unconditional love. plus, seeing such tiny perfect replicas of people always excites me! i am totally, completely in awe of babies, families and everything and i feel so lucky to document their lives!

enjoy!

joe + sean: lifestyle session!

chicago love.

BLONDEPHOTO_090912_002_1477

joe + sean + chicago = the time of my life.

i had *the* best time ever running the streets of downtown chicago with joe + sean the morning of their wedding! yes! en route to the hotel with their suits in the car we decided to spare an hour, during which they gave me a mini-tour of chicago’s iconic public art! amazing. it was a gorgeous fall day and they were both so happy + excited – i just love the energy that comes through in these images!

since joe + sean had a private ceremony a few months ago in connecticut (hence the wedding bands) this mini-session was just another excuse to hang out with them and get some great, relaxed photos that represent their love + life in chicago. shooting a lifestyle session the morning of the wedding was a new experience for me and i loved it! we were all giddy with excitement and it was the perfect way to start the day!

enjoy!
