No two Chicago home engagement sessions will ever look the same, which is precisely why I love them so much! I often recommend starting a session at home, especially in the winter months (and if you have pets!). For Victoria and Sam, we concluded our session at their home after catching the morning light at Garfield Park Conservatory.

These two are as adorable as can be – look how they glow! We had a blast walking through all things green together. For obvious reasons, this is one of my top location choices for winter engagement photos in Chicago. Sam and Victoria seemed to agree – when they weren’t too busy checking each other out! They even joined me outside for a few photos in the snow, making me one very happy photographer 🙂

After a healthy dose of romance and tropical plant life, it was time to meet Meatball. To clarify: Meatball is Victoria and Sam’s super-cute-is-an-understatement, camera-loving, green-eyed fur baby. I couldn’t get enough of this guy, and he continued to pose for my camera without much prompting at all! I mean, I’m pretty sure he was born to be a kitty model. Just saying…

Victoria and Sam: I had an awesome time with you two, thanks again for having me! Your June wedding day will be here before we know it and I absolutely can not wait!!
