A Picture’s Worth | Photo Blog

Jake and I traveled to Chicago on Sunday to meet Lindsay and Jim and take some engagement pictures around the city. We had such a great time getting to know them. They took us on the El and we walked a ways downtown, stopping here and there for pictures. It was hot and humid at first and we stopped into a Walgreens to get something to drink. Just after we left the store it started raining so we ducked inside a nearby building for shelter. Then it really started dumping down and the wind picked up. We watched people running for cover, umbrellas whipped inside out, water hitting the buildings and just falling in sheets. It was craziness. We headed out when it looked like it might let up and then it started again so we stood under an awning until it passed, then we decided to be brave and take a bus to the beach. Yes, we headed toward water in a thunderstorm. And there was lightning all over in the distance, too, but we didn’t care. What a great view of the city from the beach. Took lots of great pictures there! Then we headed back via taxi to their apartment for a few family pictures with their “baby” – a sweet sleepy cat named Major. 😉 Here are a few images that caught my eye as I was going through them today:



We had to seek out the nearest Caribou Coffee because it is the place they first met. 😉





Thanks for showing us the city! We had a wonderful time. Can’t wait for the wedding! 🙂
