For all those dog lovers…well, and lovers of pretty Fall sunlight…and while we’re at it, lovers of LOVE and LAUGHTER and FUN…this one’s for you! Jenny, Dan, and of course MERLIN were so much fun to photograph this past Fall. We met at Lake Shore Park on one of the most beautiful sunny afternoons. I already knew these two would be a blast after we first met to talk about their wedding, and when they talked about bringing Merlin, I knew we would have so much fun. They instantly made me feel as though I had known them for years. Two of the kindest people, seriously!
I know I say it all the time, but EVERY couple thinks they are the worst at posing for pictures. Most worry about being awkward or looking so, but EVERY time I always respond with, “if you two focus on each other and are comfortable with one another, it will show only that on camera.” Don’t believe me? Keep scrolling! This sunny afternoon with Jenny, Daniel, AND Merlin was anything BUT awkward. It was truly a beautiful little family so very much in love. <3

I mean, how flippin cute is MERLIN?!?!?! 
When all you want is to be held and loved. 😉 As you can see, Merlin was for sure stealing the show. But he soon let mom and dad have some time alone too… …for a little while at least. 😉 HA! So many kisses!!! LOVE this picture!
I always do this one for fun with parents and kids, so why not dog kids too? 😉Another great reason to bring your dog to your shoot? It gets you to loosen up for your pictures alone. A favorite for sure! You two are adorable! When couples take direction into their own hands…they did this multiple times, and it was so perfect every time! After a quick outfit change and a little drive up North… We made our way to Oak Street Beach. I’ll title this one : Tongues and Faces. HA! Album cover much? <3 <3 <3 Don’t worry Merlin, we are coming back to you soon. 😉 <3 How gorgeous is this afternoon sun over the city?!?! And this picture right here on the left folks, probably one of my ALL TIME favs! Thumbs up for sure Jenny! Taking direction into their own hands again. 😉 LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! When it’s pretty Fall, we shoot through the colorful trees. 😉 I feel like this one is gonna be one of those timeless ones they will always show their grand-kids when they are telling their story. Just love it! Catching some spins in the sunshine! Right as we were walking back to meet Merlin, I caught the sun peeking through the buildings and immediately pointed : THERE! That’s where we are going! Sunshine for the WIN! You two…THREE are the CUTEST! Thank you so much for the most fun afternoon and for being able to understand all of my crazy directions. I cannot WAIT to celebrate with you on your wedding day!
HUGS!
