Maybe its the softness when you first pick it up….Actually, its really the intoxicating smell that hits you first. Or, the thick substantial pages that says “you’ve got in your hands something precious, valuable and important”…Something about the way it just lays completely flat – looking perfect, no tear, no gap, practically no line, smooooth.. Okay, okay, if anything, its got to be the beautiful, bright, vibrant printing that makes the pages GLOW. After all, its a photo album! Haha! I’m talking about these gorgeous KISS Wedding Albums — made completely out of the best things on earth – starting from the full grain leather that when you smell them, you might think they have healing powers. When you flip through the pages, you think..”am I looking at a book? or super-duper monitor that folds?” And then you’d go..”hey..I look good in here..” =)

I have a ton of choices when it comes to wedding albums for my clients, and I chose to go with KISS (KISS Wedding Books -www.kissweddingbooks.com), and only KISS. While I can make other types of wedding albums, I chose to offer these books in all my packages with albums. I believe in offering my clients the best that I can get my hands on, and something that is completely in line with my philosophy when it comes to photography — simple, beautiful, timeless. There are no bells and whistles on these books. Just the best leather, the softest cover, the most vibrant printing, the highest quality papers and production, the best customer service. Its a wedding album, and it should be the best album you own. And these albums, are very good at what they do.

Oh, and a little bonus — instead of a plain (and maybe even ugly) box, these babies come with a cute canvas bag!

You also have an option of ordering a little copy of your wedding album (aka. Little Kisses) so you can take it with you and …ah-hem, flaunt it around. Its also a great option for your mom or Aunt Selma.The only thing you need to think about – which of the seven colors do you want?

Laura is one of the nicest clients I’ve ever had. No joke. And not trying to gain any favors here. She sends me the sweetest messages and will say things like “thanks so much for your time!” and “we can come meet you in Schaumburg to make it easier for you” and insisted that I did not travel to Madison just to meet with her. She is based in Madison, but she booked without ever meeting me, and came to Chicago for her engagement session. I was so glad to finally be able to meet her in person, since we must have exchanged what seems like a hundred emails!

Midwest weather is unpredictable this time of year. Today, 10/21, the temp outside is almost 70 degrees. The day of Laura & Andrew’s engagement session, which was about 3 weeks earlier, it was probably in the 40′s and grey and dreary. To add salt to my wound, it got bright and warmer the very next day. Why, mother nature? Why?

OK, so back to this cute couple. They’re both football fans..and you’ll figure that out once you look at their engagement photos — they came to the shoot with their favorite football team sweaters. And no, they’re not on the same team, which got them alot of attention from other fellow football fans..take a look at the pics, and you’ll know why =)
