Rebecca and Scott

Thursday, August 27th, 2009

Rebecca and Scott are, well…to use a Rebecca word, Fabulous! I have to say I felt a little like a paparazzi photographing these two. As their one year anniversary approaches, we went out to take a few photos of them around Chicago and…I mean, C’mon, could they be any more fashionable or know how to work the camera? I had so much fun just hanging out with them. They are both had me laughing the whole time at all their crazy shenanigans. Besides being stylish and humorous, Rebecca and Scott are super great and super creative. Scott is quite the musician and been in a couple differnt bands and though I have yet to hear him perform, rumor has it he has some pretty mad guitar, trombone and lead singin’ skills! Rebecca is a master at the “details”. You know, all the little things that transform a “that’s nice” to a “Whoa”! She and her friend Karin actually have a great wedding blog with a lot of their secrets. If you are getting married or know someone who is getting married or just want some fun reading, check out their blog at www.somethingborrowedblog.blogspot.com.

Sophia: Age 2

Sunday, August 9th, 2009

I usually enjoy taking pictures of little kids. They are so sweet and imaginative and don’t have all the awkward, self-conscious inhibitions that most adults do (myself included- trust me, if you’ve seen many photos of me you know I have no idea how to act on the other side of the camera). When a kid will just play and totally disregard the camera…those are the moments when I absolutely love what I do. That was definitely the case with Sophia who just turned two. I had so much fun just playing and being silly and laughing with Sophia. She is absolutely adorable and has the personality to match. I received an e-mail from her mom some time after our session which read, “Sophia and I were driving in the car today, and she said, “Remember Jaclyn?  I like Jaclyn!!” which reminded me that I wanted to send you a note.  Thank you so much for taking Sophia’s 2 year pictures!  We had such a nice time… it was a very welcome change from the studio sessions.  You should also know that you have a new fan.  Sophia hasn’t stopped asking about you!  It’s really cute.  I don’t think she realized you were taking her pictures – rather, she thinks you’re a  fun person to play with at the park!  Too funny!” Seriously? Melt my heart! Sophia should know she has a new fan now too!
