Phil Farber is truly amazing!!! He was so much fun to work with, he's easy going, and produces the best photos I have ever seen. He knows exactly how to capture moments without being a distraction to anything going on during the entire wedding day. You can never take back your day and repeat it so you want to make sure your photographer is someone you trust to capture these memories and Pbil Farber is exactly this person. He exceeded all of our expectations and my husband and I in addition to our family are all in love with all of our photos.

On the 3rd Anniversary of my Granddaughter's Murder

On the 3rd anniversary of one of the most horrific days of my life, I wanted to repost some of the amazing tributes that were made in memory of Savannah. Never forgotten... until we meet again.

Thank you to the talented musicians who recorded this song and to Bob Young for writting this breathtaking song in memory of our little angel - Brand New Angel - When Savannah Smiles -

And Malysa Stone for posting his beautiful video.

And thank you to Shari Solheim for posting her amazing words!
Crumpled Up Piece of Paper
(I wrote this about a week after Savannah passed away, so it was inspired by her.)
So maybe someday you'll
understand
a crumpled up piece of
paper I am.
The story of a girl is written on
me.
But I'm crumpled up
and no one has read
me.
No one has cared to listen to
the thoughts of one
lonely
girl.
A girl that was told
she was always wrong.
A crumpled up piece
of paper I am.
Someday someone will
find me and unfold
me and try to lay
me flat,
iron out my back.
But the scars will remain,
the wrinkles on my page.

Dana & Elliott A Night to Remember

WOW! Truly a day to remember. Ok... I go way back with Dana's family... from Bat Mitzvahs to weddings. It is always such a compliment when you are invited over and over again to capture a family's special moments. They are a special family! Dana & Elliott's wedding was an amazing day. Chicago's Field Museum provided an exceptional venue for a perfect evening organized by Robin and Susan - The Party People. Tom Kehoe and his crew transformed Stanley Field Hall into a dream setting. Blue Plate's expert chefs presented just as beautiful offerings for the guests to indulge in. The dance floor was TOTALLY PACKED all night (and into the early morning hours) thanks to the amazing sounds of the one and only Ken Arlen and his Orchestra. So many great moments... so many photos... here are a few (thank you to Rebecca at the Field for her help and hospitality).

Kerri & Matt

When you are asked to photograph the wedding of the daughter of someone who is so respected and loved in the industry... it is the ultimate compliment. Thank you Ed and Glenys for having us there!@Chuck Share (Weddings, Inc.) pulled everything together for the 300+ guests. @Micheal Lerich and his Orchestra had the dance floor PACKED all night. The Drake Room and the Gold Coast Room were decked out like a palace by @Yanni. You should have seen the food... amazing... done right by Danziger and the @Drake Hotel. I will post some of those photos later.

a HUGE thank you to Malysa Stone for making this video for our angel Savannah. I cannot express how much this means to us. This video beautifully portrays Savannah and it brings to life the tragedy that abuse is. Watch all the way through please and SHARE ♥ You will even catch a glimpse of the man who confessed to taking her life.

New Orleans and the Fuji X100

Had some down time in New Orleans and decided to take the Fuji X100 out for a test under the toughest conditions:
1. In extreme contrast 2. In extreme darkness 3. In extreme rowdiness 4. Intoxication

Jamie & Adam

All I can say is WOW! Jamie and Adam's wedding at the Standard Club in Chicago was amazing... Bradley Young had the dance floor PACKED all night (and early morning). HMR produced an incredible decor for the wedding. Randy Schuster and crew kept it all running smoothly for Jamie and Adam.
Hope you're having a great time in Maui... and Adam you may give me a light slap when you see me :)
Here are a few quick images of the day:
