While I was in Chicago a few weeks ago, I was able to spend some time with my friends Elizabeth & Demian, and their adorable little girl, Esalina. Elizabeth was a bride at the studio I used to work for in Chicago, Real Life Weddings, and then she joined us as an employee for about a year. After working with her as a bride and then as a co-worker in the studio, we also worked together on my website. (don’t blame her for the Coming Soon pages though – those are waiting on me to choose my favorites :) Elizabeth is an all-around great person, and her family is just adorable.
Check out these shots from our portrait session last year…
So, anyway, we figured that while I was in town we should get together for photo shoot!
We started the morning at their apartment on the North side of Chicago. I hadn’t seen Esalina in about a year, so we spent a bit of time at the beginning helping her warm up to me. Mom & Dad did a great job keeping her entertained and happy.
After we played at the house, we went for a walk down to the beach. It was a beautiful day at the Lakeshore and Esalina loves the beach!
Lina loves throwing sand into the water!
Despite our best efforts, Lina still fell into the water :) Luckily, Elizabeth was prepared with another cute outfit.
Isn’t she a doll?!
Thanks for a fun shoot you guys! It was great to see you all again – let’s do it again next year!
