Wheaton Engagement Photography | Samantha & Jamie

I am SO excited to blog this engagement session.  Samantha & Jamie are such a fun couple.

We headed over to Cantigny Park in Wheaton which is one of my favorite places to shoot. It offers so much variety and the evening light is so gorgeous!

Here are a some of my favorites!

I received an e-mail from Jen a few months ago asking about a family portrait session.  I was beyond excited to get to photograph this lovely family again.  See, Jen & Mike were my first ever wedding clients back in 2008!  It was wonderful to see them all again and meet their new little guy. They are such a fun group. The cold and the rain didn't stop us from having a great time. Here are some photos from their session.  Looking forward to another session with you guys!
