Kathleen and Elliot

Friday, July 24th, 2009

I have had the privilege of getting to know this couple over the last few of years.  They have been together for 10 years and last month they celebrated their 3rd Wedding Anniversary. They are an incredibly sweet couple and so much fun to hang out with.
Kathleen is hilarious and always makes me laugh. She also has this gift of making people feel like a million bucks. Whenever I’m with her, I never doubt for a second that she is listening to me. In fact, she always seems to be hanging on to every word I say (anyone who has ever sat and listened to me ramble, knows this is a real gift) and somehow she never seems to run out of encouraging words. Currently, she is in the process of beginning the Marital and Family Therapy program at Northwestern University and I cannot think of a better fit for her.
And although I haven’t had the opportunity to spend as much time with Elliot, just being around him for even a short time makes me want to hang out with him all the more. He is a laid back, kind-hearted, genuine sort of guy who you just can’t help but like and his love for Kathleen is so apparent!
As individuals these two are great! Together…they are a force to be reckoned with! Well…like a sweet, encouraging kind of force. You don’t need to be around them very long to see how much they adore and admire each other. Whether they are sharing a “heavy on the apple, light on the tini” apple-tini (well, Kathleen anyway) or celebrating Derek Lee winning at that game that he plays, they are always enjoying each other’s company! I love that about them!
Here are a few photos from our session…
