Joffrey Ballet Nutcracker Tree @ Four Seasons Chicago

Love love this tree at the Four Seasons Hotel Chicago. Wonderfully decorated by the Joffrey Ballet. Covered with worn ballet shoes and adorable nutcrackers.

To celebrate my sister’s birthday, we went to the Peninsula for their awesome Brunch. It was absolutely delicious! And I couldn’t resist taking a few ‘mini’ shots of the city that I love and the gorgeous decorations the Peninsula had put up. ps We passed Colin Farrell on the way in. Did not stop to take a photo or for an autograph, my eyes were on the prize and the prize was bacon. 

Blackhawks Win!

I adore my point and shoot, the Canon G12. My absolute favorite feature is the miniature scene, where it makes almost anything look mini. It’s soo much fun to use! :D So even though we had awesome seats, the players really did not look this small, I used the mini feature anyway and came away with these two shots. 

Cloud Gate at Cloud Gate

I had the most fantastic opportunity this past Tuesday to photograph the amazing performance company: Cloud Gate Dance Theatre of Taiwan at Cloud Gate Chicago. Below are some of my favorites. They are performing at Harris Theater this upcoming weekend: http://www.harristheaterchicago.org/events/2011-2012-season/water-stains

One of my favorite things to photograph is the Student Performance Nights at Columbia College Chicago. The students perform without boundaries and it shows that they are fearless in experimenting with dance.

Jake & Stephanie

This past weekend I photographed my first engagement couple portraits. I was a bit nervous since I knew Jake doesn’t like being photographed and they are good friends of mine so I wanted to give them great shots. I’ve known Stepho, inside joke nicknames, for about six years when we met at Columbia during a digital photography course. We quickly became good friends when we realized our common interests and friends. We later worked together at a tourist trap of a place within Chicago and one day when I was walking into work she told me that there is a cute new guy upstairs; Jake. Not be a cliche in anyway, but I definitely had a good feeling about Jake & Stephanie. 

The cake topper. 

view from the 65th

My last post about about the intense fog rolling in from the lake when I was in the Hancock. I wanted to share another view from the 65th from last winter that I adore.

This happened quite a few weeks ago but am now just getting around to posting a couple photos. It started off as a usually hot one off day in chicago, then the clouds and fog ran in from the lake:
