Christy, Nostalgia for Sunshine

I figured this lovely photo of Christy from a warm spell last month would be the perfect way to celebrate the first Chicago snowfall of the year. Here’s to warmth and sunshine six months from now!

On Refinery29: Ben, Ruggedly Handsome

Ben Amy
Ben’s street style photo was featured on Refinery29 yesterday thanks to his rugged good looks and great sense of style. See, you don’t always have to dress like Lenny Kravitz to be photographed by me (although it does help…)

Thank you Shani Silver for bringing alerting me to the awesome movement known as Movember, which encourages men to grow moustaches throughout the month of November to raise awareness of prostate cancer and other male diseases. To learn more, visit Movember.com.

A.J. aka Kyciana

AJ Kyciana

I couldn’t resist putting all of A.J. (real name Kyciana) up today. I first photographed her a few months ago. There are always so many well-dressed young people running around in the Loop during fall because of all the college campuses. At first I didn’t recognize A.J. because she had changed her hair. All I saw was her incredibly cool outfit and killer Dr. Martens. When I ran up to her and started giving my spiel, she said “Amy, it’s me! A.J.!” That I hadn’t recognized her actually made her more excited to be spotted a second time, because it was based soley on the merits of her look. A.J. uses fashion in such interesting ways. In her own words, “it’s all about that swag.”
