Morgan is becoming one of my favorite people to photograph! I love this girl and I love her spirit. She strikes me as someone who is considerate, kind, and fun to be around. I am over the moon that we got to work together at The Morton Arboretum! These are some of my all-time favorite images!

Because I am human, I regularly make mistakes. But what is really cool is when I get it wrong in my camera and yet have the ability to fix it in Lightroom in seconds! This is a Before/After of a recent sunset at The Morton Arboretum.

Darinka is an actress based in Chicago and she has done incredible things! She has done both print and commercial work and some of her clients are: Sears, Kohl’s, Kmart, Nintendo, Lands End, and recently she shot a cute little spot called “Like a Girl” for Always! So incredibly talented in the entertainment industry at only thirteen and somehow finds time to be a nationally ranked tennis player too! Oh my word…I love this kid! Working with Darinka and her precious family after all these years is so fulfilling for me. I’m so excited to have this pretty girl on my blog!
