As a photographer, you get the privilege and complete honor to photograph the most life changing events. It's not ever something I take lightly, because in truth, I am always honored and humbled to be there; to bear witness to the things in life that change us, grow us and break us so badly that they restore us, a humans. I am constantly in awe of things lately, so much so that I often find myself opening my right hand, and lifting it. Saying to my father in Heaven, "this is yours," This same hand is one that held my brother in law Ray's hand, just over a month ago, before he died, and I can still feel his hand in mine, each time. The journey with Reagan is one that from the minute I heard about her story, I wanted to be there, I wanted to cover her precious time with us like a fly on the wall and bear witness to how much she was loved. I adored this precious and tiny girl from the minute I saw her, she was a sweet one, and a fighter you could tell. I loved her, and I am not even her mother, but man, she was a beautiful one. It is amazing when the people you are photographing trust you, and allow you to explore along with them the great depths of the emotions. We didn't know how much time we'd have with her, but God gave us 24 hours to savor such a Joy as Reagan... and it was precious. When you photograph something like this, you participate, it becomes personal, it becomes something you have to do for your soul. Giving, is a gift, a blessing. There was a moment, when it felt like the whole room was crying, and a moment when from behind the camera you could hear my gasps for air as I sobbed. At that moment, I just knew that Ray, my sweet and precious brother in law, Ray, was going to be looking out for Reagan when she arrived in Heaven. I just know it.

Andrew Duncan
This week, I got to photograph Andrew Duncan. Andrew was a founding member of the Chicago band Ok Go, as their lead guitarist and keyboardist. Andrew now owns a music production company for multimedia called Box-Audio, which has allowed him to create music in many other genres, and he's loving it. It was awesome to spend time in his studio and capture him hard at work. ;)

Reagan Joy... soon to come!
Tori and Shane's little Jeremhia
It's totally amazing and surreal when your friends have babies. Tori & Shane was the couple I rooted for to get together in the early days of their interest in each other. I teased Tori every time I went by Shane's deli in Wheaton. Yes! This is totally a Shane's deli plug, you have to try the Pollo Pesto and one of their yummy chocolate chip cookies! Back to the baby, look at this sweet little thing of theirs, totally a product of love.
