From the moment I took these, I’ve been waiting to share them! Today is finally the day! I can’t wait for you to see how special this shoot was. When Tara and Kevin hired me, they asked me how I feel about doing their engagement shoot in Chicago. I told them that I used to live there and that I’d love to see the city again! I researched and researched for hours the coolest locations I could find, I drove my whole family there, and while Scott and the kids played, Tara Kevin and I walked over 8 miles all around the city laughing, sipping on coffee, and just having an awesome day. It was such a whirlwind, but there are photos upon photos to prove how spectacular the day was. The next day before heading home, Scott and I took the kids to my favorite Chicago bakery, Sweet Mandy B’s for some gross overindulgence of sugar before the long car ride. We were there for only about 24 hours total but boy the city never disappoints! I can’t wait to celebrate with these two later this year in Columbus as they tie the knot! XO Jess
