When one of your favorite small shop brands starts creating spooky witchy garb for Halloween, you jump at the chance to do a spooky, woodsy, creepy vibe photo shoot. Our little models did not disappoint with their joy at brewing potions and waving magic wands around either! Katie of Wild Purple found an amazingly spooky…

Using Presets in Lightroom
One of the first things I discovered when I began photography in earnest was presets in Lightroom. They allowed me to experiment with different looks and moods and learn a lot about the different functions and features of Lightroom by trial and error.

Tutu.
We just love working with Ellie N Sophia. Traci’s tutus are pure magic and so well made. My daughter loves wearing them because they’re her “pretty princess dress.” We took this unicorn tutu to our local arboretum and, as you can see, they make pretty good exploration garments as well 😉 Featured in this…

The lovely Lilacia Park in Lombard, IL was the backdrop with amazing tulips and lilac bushes in full bloom. The entire park smelled like a divine perfume bottle. Big brother and…
Vintage Urban.
Sometimes you find a side street when you’re trying to find a parking spot in Chicago, and it makes your heart sing. This little neighborhood was filled with the most amazing architectural details, brick-paved streets, and mailboxes with their own flower boxes. I want to move there. Immediately.
