SMOOTH OPERATOR

Here is Tim again, now in his work look at the Field Museum. A suit sure makes the man or what do you think?

MOTHER EARTH

Stephanie is an amazing woman. Besides being a very successful mommy blogger and entrepreneur, she is also a mother of three little boys and, by the way, 30 weeks pregnant. If that doesn't take your breath away, she is also drop dead gorgeous. Is it legal to look this good?

After three boys Stephanie is having a girl. To celebrate her pregnancy and her girl-belly, we wanted to create a flower child, organic mother earth portraits and I think we succeeded quite good. We got up at 4 AM and started shooting at 5.30 to catch the morning sun and the wild flowers in their full bloom. The set was peaceful and quiet, bunnies were hopping around us and lake breeze kept us cool and fresh. It is hard to believe we were in down town Chicago in July!

Thank you Steph for playing along !

LOVE IS IN THE AIR

Anna and Carsten are getting ready for their wedding on August 2nd. Their pre-ceremony shots were taken last night at Museum Campus, which is one of my absolute favorite places in this city.

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!

A BOY

"Boys are found everywhere-on top of, underneath, inside of, climbing on, swinging from, running around or jumping to. Mothers love them, little girls hate them, older sisters and brothers tolerate them, adults ignore them and Heaven protects them. A boy is Truth with dirt on its face, Beauty with a cut on its finger, Wisdom with bubble gum in its hair and the Hope of the future with a frog in its pocket."
