We don’t post a ton of sunflare pictures on here, but I am in LOVE with this photo.  I hate it when sunflare is so intense that people’s heads get lost in the photo.  To me, this is the perfect amount of flare.  And I love how the wind picked up a ruffle in Amanda’s skirt and the way the sun peeks around the material.  Also, it cracks me up that everytime we go to Chicago, regardless of agenda, we always end up taking pictures of those buildings behind them.

Couldn’t resist getting a shot in front of the iconic Chicago Theare.  Lucked out with no pedestrians in this one!

After a good couple hours of exploring the city, we hopped in a cab and headed back to Amanda & Dave’s place.  We decided to have an impromptu puppy session – which was SO much fun and a great way to unwind after all our walking.

Say hello to Shanna (the Boston Terrier) and Jack (the miniature pinscher?)

They do tricks!

They randomly pose all adorable-like in their cute little dog beds:

They make Amanda & Dave laugh….a LOT. :)

And they wholly approve of these two tying the knot.  Especially Shanna. :)

Zak Schwank - Just fantastic! The flare shot has it all, that’s for sure…great shot! Such an adorable couple! I love the doggies looks in the last. :)

Leijona - Ok, so I know that I already commented on the other pics, but I can’t help myself!! The sunflare picture should totally be in a magazine…. The Knot possibly?!? :) All I keep thinking is how breathtaking your wedding pics are going to be!!

Amanda & Dave - Mom- you crack me up! I totally think Shanna should be a flower “girl” & Jack a ring bearer :)

Brandi - Awesome! I love the sunflare, of course, as I am a FLAREOHOLIC. I love the shots with their cute little doggies too. They’re a great couple.

Faith Tassen - Dog sitter…did I hear dog sitter?? These pictures are fantastic! I do love that flare skirt one…I think that should go in a photo contest. Actually, I think they all should go in a photo contest. I can’t even imagine what the wedding pictures will be like. What do you think of Shanna and Jack as Ring Bearers…like the cat in Meet the Parents.

Mandy - I love the pics! The Chicago Theatre is one of my faves. That and the bench! But they are all amazing so it’s too hard to choose. :-)

Oh Shanna… of course you had to try and steal the spotlight in the hopes of being discovered. Perhaps there’s a reality show in the works?
I love all of the puppy pics- they’re such a big part of your lives that it’s only fitting! :-)

Amanda & Dave - okay- I am IN LOVE with all of these photos too! The sunflare one is our personal favorite- it’s so chicago, it’s romantic & the coloring is perfect. I’m glad you loved our dogs as much as we do- these shots are unbelievable- and what a ham Shanna is!

SB - I also LOVE the flare pic! You’re so right about the wind ruffling her skirt, and that girl has some GORGEOUS hair. And he is totally giving her The Look in that picture, and it’s sexiness all around! Great job as always!
