I had such a lovely time with Terrence and Shawn for their Montrose Harbor engagement session last month! I met these two at sunrise with their sweet pup, Clover for some photos at the lakefront with that gorgeous morning light. You may have noticed that most engagement sessions are scheduled around sunset… but if you’re a morning person, sunrise is a perfect alternative! Especially in Chicago, watching the sunrise over Lake Michigan is such a treat 🙂

Montrose Harbor is one of those locations that I don’t get to visit often, but I’m always so excited when I do. There’s such great variety here with the lakefront, wildflowers, and skyline view – it’s easy to spend hours here without even noticing. Shawn and Terrence were a pleasure to stroll with, not to mention happy Clover! She really let loose when we got to Montrose Dog Beach… it was one of the highlights of our session!! Shout out to Kayla for keeping Clover company so I could spend some alone time with these two.

After the beach, it was time for donuts! The three of us met at Firecakes in Lincoln Park, one of their favorite places to visit together. We explored the neighborhood a bit and came across this LOVE mural down the street! Of course, we had to stop for a few – and they’re some of my favorite photos from the entire session!

Terrence and Shawn: You two are adorable together, I had so much fun at our session! Can’t wait for you to tie the knot in September!!!
