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. Do they like more of a nature/foresty look? Garden/whimsical look? Beachy? Small town “downtown” feel or even a larger scale “downtown” look like Chicago!
