A few weekends ago I had the pleasure of shooting engagement photos for my friends Michael and Emily. We enjoyed some of the last bits of warm weather for October and took full advantage of the soft autumn light. We had fun shooting on the historic Woodstock Square (Illinois), and also in Wonder Lake. Congratulations Michael and Emily! May you be blessed with many years of happy marriage!
We had a beautiful day for this year’s Out of the Darkness walk, which took place in Elgin, IL. The park was gorgeous, the weather was perfect and we raised awareness and funds for a worthy cause. About 375 suicide survivors walked and raised approximately $47,000. Thank you to all who donated and supported us!
Between shooting I walked with my wife Monica, our son, Monica’s mother, sister and our nephew. We walked in remembrance of Monica’s little brother who we lost to suicide last spring. Participating in these walks is important to our family because it reminds us that there are others who still have questions, other who are still hurting, and that we’re not alone.
Here are a few photos from the walk. More will be posted at the AFSP website soon.
Of course my little boy will show up frequently on this blog. He’s my one model that can’t say no! These are a few recent pics from a mommy-baby studio session and an outdoor session. First up, it’s the masthead image!
