Fall 2019
With Fall being my favorite season, naturally, you’ll find me trying to capture its beauty!
Every once in awhile an object strikes me as a photographic opportunity. This photo is one of those.
In some ways, Prom is much a do about nothing important and yet, who doesn’t like getting dressed up for Prom? For most attendees it’s a fun event that produces a hole in the wallet but, memories for years.
This English Landing Park happens to be one of my favorite parks. Notice how these Winter scenes almost look like black and white photos.
Even though Fall is my favorite season, I also enjoy Winter tremendously….which might sound odd. The colder weather invigorates me; I enjoy wearing Winter clothes; and I simply love the holidays that come with Winter. Overall, I appreciate the change of seasons. Each season invokes different feelings, emotions, and experiences.
There is something special about each season in the midwest. I do not like humidity or extremely hot weather and therefore, Fall is my favorite season for both its weather and its colorful beauty.

The touch of green and red accents this scene.
There are so many places in the world that I would like to see, but before I venture too far away, there is plenty in the United States to satisfy my traveling desires. So far, Colorado is one of my favorite vacation spots! I never get tired of those majestic mountains, crystal clear lakes, or the less humid climate.
Don’t all of us Mothers love our babies? The bonding between Mommy and her baby starts in the womb and becomes stronger with each bump, roll, and kick. The “magic” of birth can’t be topped when Mother finally gets to meet her baby. Look at the love in this young Mom’s face as she gazes upon her child.
It’s not always easy to gather a family for a yearly family portrait, especially when the family is grown! It’s also not an easy thing to photograph a family when the family is large. If it’s just a Mom and Dad with their two point five kids, maybe not so challenging. With this beautiful family I had challenges because of its size and the range of ages. Over all, I was pleased.

Christmas means different things to different people. It is my favorite season and when I think of Christmas I think of Christmas music, lights, parties, baking, shopping for the perfect gift, and celebrating with family. Please make sure you click on each photo to see the next one! (P.S. The one of my Grandson and me was taken on January 1, 2018.)
There is a myth that little girls are sweeter than little boys. In some cases that might be true, but not in most cases. Tiny people, in general, are the sweetest human beings you're going to meet!
Grant decided to propose to his Sweetheart of seven years. He creatively did this by giving her a digital photo scrapbook showing their history together. He wanted to "continue their story" and so on the last page printed, "Will you marry me?"
Victoria did not know that I was photographing her and Grant.

Lake Michigan is one of the prettiest lakes you're going to see when visiting the city of Chicago! Its greenish hue along with its vastness makes you forget that you're at a lake and not the ocean. It's definitely a "must see" when visiting down town Chicago!
Please make sure you click on each photo to see how adorable these brothers are!
