So here are the ladies!

Aren't they gorgeous! I had such a blast with the girls on Wednesday and a big sunburn to prove it. They brought a ton of energy and lots of clothes and it was fun to see them play off each other. I loved Laura's necklace and her calm and easy personality. Taylor is a fashionista, but says she isn't, I love the yellow dress! Michele, has a sweet spot for my lens, and beautiful eyes. And Claire was such a diva in her blue dress and belt. Everyone looked amazing, again props to Anna my make up artist, and to her for the great idea to get all the moms of my models together for a make up session and pic's with their hubbys! Stay tuned for those maybe in the fall.

My Amazing Models

This past wednesday, I had so much fun with my models!

This is a tiny sample of the pic's, there are more to come tonight!

Kelly took the Gwen Session to the Park!

Kelly was the perfect model, she had fun outfits and shoes ( which is her thing ) plus great boots - so how could we go wrong. And she is gorgeous, but above all, it was her sweetness and excitement for the shots that made her so fun to work with. I loved it when she showed me some of her America's Next Top Model moves, and she was game when I asked her to run through a forest in her prom dress. Thanks to Kelly's mom for becoming a light expert and helping me fill in the shadows!

Cavya makes the Sofia Session sassy

Last Wednesday, despite a few Rain Drops at the start, Cavya and I had a spunky little photoshoot. I loved working in downtown Oswego, I loved the brick. Cavya and I decided to go to her friend's grandparents house, which was just a beautiful property, but the clincher, what made this property so hot was the old volks wagon bugs in the lawn. And what do you think about that super hot blue dress?! Super hot!

Mike and Lauren, & Duke and Lady

Mike and Lauren, will be married this September, and so on June 1st I met them and their great danes for a little walk in Naperville. We were a total crowd catcher, between me and my big camera, capturing moments as they walked and Duke who is nearly as tall as them, and 200 lbs. It was fun! But seriously, this was a super fun shoot, I love the dog shoots, especially the one on the hill where they are all tangled up. And loved roaming about Naperville, and capturing them together, great shoes, right?! I love em!

Hanging out with the Kanneys

Katie and Mike, have the sweetest girls, Jessica and Mia. I loved hanging out with them, in fact I had a hard time taking their pic's cause all I wanted to do was hang out with them and talk and laugh. I love the second pic that is toned like an old pic, it reminds me of something I would see in my parents photo album. :)

So this is my sweet little family

So this is a little snapshot of my favorite crew... my fam. Me, my p's, Brent and Katy ( and one inside ) Kristin and Ray and their little ones Nora, Maggie and Lucy, and my sis Emily on the end. Just last week my brother in law Ray, was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer, of the stomach, liver and esophagus. It is super hard to watch this happen to one of the sweetest, hardest working and loving husband and father's I know. My sister is a Rock of course tackling it as she does most things, as a health care consultant for the gov. getting him in the with the best specialists and planning treatment options. Her daily emails about his status end with the brave words, Not Alone, and Not Afraid. Please just keep them in mind at this time, and pray for them. Isn't he super sweet!

Last Saturday with Jenny & Brian

We had a blast last weekend with Jenny & Brian and their crew, their bridal party  was huge and super fun. Check out for more pic's www.vraiphoto.blogspot.com

Senior Model Kirsten

Last Friday I had an awesome model session with Kirsten. There were some funny moments getting Kristen through the forest to the perfect place on the log, but it was all very worth it. Once I saw that amazing place I had to put her there with her hot pink prom dress, and so I didn't mind giving her a piggy back through the mud. :) Kirsten was the perfect model, I loved the classic style of her clothes! It was great to get to hang out with her. 

Congrats Priyanka!!

Two fridays ago, I joined Priyanka at her school, the Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy as she accepted her appointment for the Coast Guard. And received her appointment from my Father Ken Wolgemuth a member of the Coast Guard Auxiliary and her principal Dr. Eric McLaren. It was so fun to be there and honor Priyanka and all the work she has done to achieve the appointment. You Go Girl! Also I have to say, the first speaker Ms. Julia Husen, read the most amazing compilation of all the recommendation letters she had written for each student, it was so fun to hear about the qualities and strength of our future generation. They all have a bright future in front of them!!
