Alexis and Trevor, two of the sweetest and kindest souls I’ve ever met. Their story begins all the way back in high school when they were just acquaintances, didn’t really talk or know each other very well, but then started hanging out as “just friends” shortly after.

Read moreKellie & Kevin | Milton Lee Olive Park and North Avenue Beach Chicago Engagement Session
When I start the planning process with my couples about their engagement sessions, one of the first things I try to figure out is what type of look they want for the location of the shoot.

Read moreThe New MGP Office Tour & Saying Hello To 26!
Before we jump into the official office tour, I wanted to take a second to write a little note to myself on this very day that I turned 26 years old. Twenty six years ago, I was brought into this world and was given a purpose. A purpose that is different than everyone else’s, and that’s what makes each of us so special.
