On Refinery29: Lauren

When I saw Lauren, I instantly recognized the dog and the leggings. I’ve photographed Lauren’s sister Morgan Carr several times for my blog. She’s one of my favorite Gold Coast regulars to run into on Rush Street. Although the lighting could have been better, dusk was nearing and it was an overcast day. I love the way her hair is highlighted though. The texture and luminescence of hair is one of my favorite things about portrait photography.

On Refinery29: Reed

Reed’s affinity for stripes and bright pink hat made her an easy pick for me. Mixing prints is a very delicate art, and she really toed the line here. But I think her outfit was a success, especially with the pink hat thrown in there as a wild card. You always need something unexpected to make an outfit work!

Andrea the Blonde Bedhead

I met up with Andrea of Blonde Bedhead to photograph her at the Millennium Park public art statue Cloud Gate. Better know by its nickname “the bean,” this installation is an iconic representation of Chicago. What better place for two fashion bloggers to meet up for an impromptu photo session? It started to rain no less than five minutes after we arrived, hence the overcast sky.
