How I Kill Time at the Mall

Blogging now with bigger images! Hopefully I didn’t break anything while tweaking the design.

I don’t like shopping, but with my camera I’m never bored. Driving to the outlet mall…

Jennifer and Adam Get Married

I’m updating my website, and I’ll be posting some images that I haven’t shared before. These are from the wedding of Jennifer and Adam. The ceremony was at Alice Millar Chapel at Northwestern University, and the reception at Promontory Point.

Leaving for the ceremony…

And this is currently one of my favorites. It’s nice to make beautiful images, but I’m much more interested in capturing moments like this.

From a slightly colder day in the Chicago area. The weather has been a little warmer lately. Looking forward to Spring!
