Bored this weekend?

June 25, 2009

Last Saturday I spent the morning with Melissa and her bridal party while they got ready at the Salon Cocole in Lake Zurich. Obviously they do an awesome job catering to brides and bridal parties, but the one thing that really caught my attention was their upcoming Save A Pet Dog Adoption Day this weekend!.

If you read the blog enough you know that I love our dog Otis almost as much as I do Jack. So if you’re looking for something to do this Saturday, head out to Lake Zurich between 11am and 2pm and check out the Salon’s 2nd annual event. Even if you can’t find it in your heart to adopt a new friend, animal lovers can still check out some other ways to pamper your pet the same way you pamper yourself!

The Salon is located at 591 North Rand Road, Lake Zurich, Il. 847-540-7006

Little Jack moved into his new “choo-choo” themed room, and the finishing pieces arrived last week in the form of three custom painted frames from Wild Sorbet. I wasn’t really sure how these were going to look, but needless to say I’m stoked about how these turned out, and can’t wait to find some more opportunities to use their really unique and funky product line!

Oh, and for the techie minded peeps out there. Each print is an 11×14 mounted print framed in a 6 inch border frame. So each piece of art has a total size of 23 x 27.

Melissa wanted a final shot that reminded her of her favorite book/movie “Pride and Prejudice”….luckily thanks to the Chevy Chase Country Club and the gorgeous sunset, we were able to create this final wedding photograph during dinner!

0019 Chicago Newborn Potrait Photography   AddisonOK so before I get a ton of grief over this one, this was not totally my idea. I saw the empty keg in the back yard and jokingly said, “hey, how about one with her on the keg?” Well as my luck would have it Addison’s Mom called my bluff said “absolutely.” She loved the pictures so much at the viewing that there’s a good chance one of these may end up on her birth announcements!

Last weekend I got to hang out with Shika, Shridhar, and about 500 of their closest family and friends during their wedding celebration. There were too many good images to choose from for this blog entry, so I went the multi-media route and put together the following slideshow!
