Hear that? That's the sound of summer flying out the door, and the sudden, slight chill of fall settling in our bones.

That said, business has been anything but chilly. We are truly thrilled at the floor of inquiries we've received in the last six weeks, including four requests for information about our 2011 wedding services. It's wonderful to connect with potential new clients, not just because it's good for business, but because it means more people to get to know, more stories to tell, more amazing moments that we'll get to experience through the lens. In short, we can't help but shout, "Yippee!"

Aside from work, we're also on the move with various sporting events. Chicago Marathon day is close at hand--10.10.10!--and before that, I have a preliminary marathon to tackle in northern Wisconsin on the 19th of September. On top of all these miles, we've embraced the start of our second cyclocross season! The xXx Racing team hosted a relay event on the last Sunday of August, and though we both raced, we also managed to get some photos, including this one of the illustrious Supergirl. Check out the entire set here.

Eye of the storm

Recently someone asked if I'd ever worked with a bridezilla. Thankfully, the answer is no. I've also never worked with portrait session clients I didn't like. Even when working with subjects as unpredictable as children, I come away from our time together with amazing images that truly represent the family as a unit and as individuals.
This August session was no different. Even as "boys will be boys" chaos reigned supreme, there were several moments of calm and truce-making that opened a door of opportunity for some amazing captures.
