Reminiscing on Farvisha & Cody’s PERFECT Chicago engagement from when we had those gloriously warm days in October 😩

These two were SO fun to be with and SO on fire for each other and it was such a joy to be their photographer!!!

If you told my 7 year old self that I would get to have my very own art on display in an art show someday, she would jump out of her skin with joy and delight.

That’s exactly how I felt to see these pieces up on the gallery wall: grateful, in awe, & a little giddy :)

The talent gathered in that room made the energy electric, and every person who showed up to support poured even more life into it. Being part of something so thoughtful, creative, and full of heart was an experience I do not take lightly!

Thank you to and for creating this space and inviting me into it 🤍
