I have been wanting some updated professional photos of Chris and me for a while (since our engagement photos are seven years old), so I thought it would be perfect to do our photos in Chicago as a way to remember our time in this gorgeous city. I pretty much abandoned the idea once I found out about my health (it suddenly became an unnecessary expense), so I was thrilled when Lex from
Lex Nelson Photography offered to do a free mini session for us in exchange for me doing some modeling for her so she could try out her new film camera.
I really wanted our photos to feature the Chicago skyline, so the spot she picked was perfect! Chris and I had a blast being our silly selves in front of the camera, and I think the photos turned out great! I would love for y’all to tell me your favorite photo. I’m planning on framing a few once we get back to Texas!
A few verticals:
Just for fun, here are a couple of shots from my shoot with Lex:
These are so great!! I love them all! That very first one is crazy adorable. :)
ReplyDeleteThese are all so adorable!! So glad you were able to capture these!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! I'm so glad we get to keep these as a memory of our time here. :)
DeleteThese pictures are so beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteI love the second one and the third one in the vertical section- so fun!
ReplyDeleteAll of your pictures from the session turned out so beautiful! I think that my favorite might have to be the second one because I love that you can see so much of the Chicago skyline in the background! I also love your modeling pictures with your flower crown! So pretty!
ReplyDeleteLove these pictures! They're so awesome to remember your time in Chicago!
ReplyDeleteI love them! And how perfect that you were able to get a free shoot!
