My sister and I started a new tradition this past year to celebrate our birthday’s as they’re only a day apart! We decided we would go somewhere to celebrate and have an experience verse buying each other gifts. This year we chose to spend a long weekend in Chicago and it did not disappoint! It was my sister’s first time in the Windy City and we had a blast. Of course we also had to squeeze in a few portrait sessions while we were there because the city has such gorgeous backdrops. To see more from our trip, be sure to follow me on Instagram!
How stunning is that skyline! Chicago, you’re beautiful!
A visit to Chicago is not complete without riding the ferris wheel at Navy Pier!
My sister has that street style/effortlessly cool look nailed down!
When I travel, I always plan my trip around where I want to eat! I know I’m not alone in this, right? This is mainly due to the fact that I love good food, but also because I eat mostly vegan (I do still eat eggs and honey) and gluten free, and if I don’t do some leg work beforehand, it can be hard to find places where I can order more than the side salad! I read wonderful things about Lyfe kitchen and it did not disappoint!
We loved walking around the Lincoln Park Zoo even though a lot of the animals weren’t out!
We also saw the Sox play! I would have much rather seen the Cubs, but they weren’t in town! You win some, you lose some! ;) Regardless, we had fun! Until next time, Chicago!
Most days you'll find me sitting at my kitchen counter, clad in a mix of J.Crew and Zara (in neutral colors, of course), pouring my heart into this business of mine while dancing along to my latest Spotify playlist and sipping on a cup of hot tea. I'm an award-winning, published wedding photographer that is obsessed with all things classic and elegant. I'm a former California girl, but a true Midwesterner at heart. I love warm hugs, live music and getting texts from my brides that they cried when they saw their wedding photos!! I live for mornings on my yoga mat and green juice after. Among friends, I'm known for never missing an episode of The Bachelor on Monday nights, overusing exclamation points, and disliking coffee (but loving coffee shops)!
