BROOKE + ANDY || CHICAGO WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER


I spent the day with a fellow (amazing!) photographer friend of mine that you may remember from the blog, Justina Olenick.  Today I was assisting her in an engagement session with a wonderful couple that just so happened to come out of an area where we both used to live as children.  What a small world!  These were the snaps that I was able to catch on my end while Justina worked her magic.  Though, I'm sure when she's ready I'll have a post to share of hers, as well. ;)

You may notice a lack of eye contact in these, but you know what?

Call me crazy,

I almost like it better that way!

Brooke and Andy are such a sweet, sweet couple.  Even in those first few moments when you all try to break the ice, Brooke would smile as Andy cracked the jokes - definitely an entertaining bunch these two were!  I had such an amazing time, and can't wait for their upcoming nuptials!  I wish them nothing but many more years of happiness together.

    I love these! Really, really lovely. Maybe I'm wrong, but I think eye-contact is overrated :)

    The lack of eye contact totally works if you ask me. It's like they are in their own little world, and you just happen to be observing all the love. So sweet. The photos with the yellow flowers are stunning!

Week 27 Update

Hello fellow internet peoples.  Decided to give a HD video update for the beginning of my third trimester.  (WE SO EXCITED!)  It was a ton of fun to make, this time we were at home in Chicago.  Erick had a bunch of lighting equipment after all the interviews he did with the chicago school councils, so before he had to ship them back we took full advantage ;)  I'm learning more about codec and h.264 and prores 422 and although it makes absolutely no sense to me, maybe it will be useful knowledge in the future.  What do I know? It was obviously a very gesture laden, emotional, 10 minute interview.  I hope you all enjoy it.  It really is longer than I expected but instead of completely chopping it up, I decided to leave it how it is.  It's pure, natural, pregnant-y goodness of brain farts, odd humor, and searching for the right words.  If you make it to the end, remind me to give you a gold star or something.  I'll do it. ** A ...

bump : a thank you

Thank you all so much for the warm welcome on our littlest growing member of the De La Rosa family - we are so lucky and blessed, that is for sure!  Lots of time has been spent the past few weeks celebrating with friends and family, though a certain "weight" has been lifted now that it's truly out in the open.  (Ahhhh...)   Erick and I knew right away that this go-around, we were going to try everything we could to have the birth we wanted, so we've switched our prenatal care from a standard OBGYN practitioner to one of the only midwife groups in the state.  Although it is becoming more common, midwives and water births are still extremely difficult to come by.   In Illinois specifically, there are only two birthing centers in a 50 mile radius willing to offer this to us - and one of these didn't take our healthcare plan.  It's crazy how many long nights were spent researching on the web and phoning out to different practices, but I am so happ...
