Another beautiful bride.  It was extremely hot this day and this was the last photo of the session.  I usually like very dramatic lighting but I love the airy feeling of this photo.

Storms over Chicago

We wanted to do some photos in Chicago but there was a big music festival going on and we couldn't use millenium park as planned.  So, we headed down to the planetarium where you can shoot overlooking the lake and the city.  When we were about a half hour away, the weather forecast came on and it was so bad that they actually evacuated the music festival.  As you can see, we did not get much time to shoot before the storm moved in. 

We managed to shoot for about 15 minutes before we had to run. 

I used a quantum light with a shoot through umbrella to make this shot.

Pictured Rocks

Just got back from Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore on  the edge of Lake Superior.  We tried to rent a pontoon boat to go to the rocky cliffs but the lake was to rough and they would not let us go.  We went out to shoot some sunsets and came across this great beach.  Hope you enjoy the shot.

We were in South Dakota and we pulled in to a rest area. There was a sign there that said "beware of Bison. They can be dangerous". Of course we were sure that it was a "deer crossing" sign and we would not see anything. There stood this buffalo. We got some nice photos.  You always have to be ready.
