It’s almost mid-January, but I’m sure I’m not alone hanging on to those warm and fuzzy holiday vibes! Ashley & Scott’s December engagement session started at Garfield Park Conservatory, and the holiday show was “Tickled Pink.” We met shortly after they opened and got to explore some of my favorite spots… and a few new ones! We enjoyed checking out the pink ribbons, pink moss, pink lights… you get the idea. LOTS of pink!

One thing about Ashley and Scott that I love is their admiration for one another. They truly enjoy each other’s company, and I had a blast photographing them together! I think they could have slow-danced in the fern room for days 🙂

After our morning excursion, we headed down the street for lunch at Inspiration Kitchens! Has everyone heard of this place?? They are doing great things (and I heard the food is delicious, too!). The restaurant and catering group is committed to providing jobs and training for Chicagoans battling poverty and homelessness. They offer free training and certifications in the culinary industry as well as job placement assistance. Seriously – go check them out!! Thanks to Hanna for allowing us to utilize the space during the lunch rush!

Ashley and Scott: you make an adorable couple!! I had so much fun hanging out at our session and can’t wait for you to tie the knot this fall!!!
