My friend Rachel // Part II
Rachel is my new friend here in Chicago. I asked her if I could take pictures of her in her adorable home. Rachel is a pretty adorable homemaker if I must say so myself, she would never say so, which makes you love her all the more. Before I came over she was making some bread to go into the oven. I asked if she would wait until I got there so I could take a few pictures of it. We plan to do another shoot with the finished product.
Here is to Rachel.
This is Chicago.
A bit ago, it was snowing like crazy, and I actually decided to still leave my apartment. I took these with my little Minolta friend, I developed them at Wallgreens. That building is the Chicago Tribune. Its one of my favorites in the city, especially because I love the story behind it.

Self Portrait // Selfy
A while ago I read an interview with Ted Craig (an amazing photographer). He uses himself in a lot of his photos and ideas. They asked him why he did this, and he responded saying because he is always accessible.
The other day, I really felt like shooting- but it was cold, and I was feeling bored with shooting things in my apartment. I hate pictures of myself, and even hate posting pictures of myself even more. But I decided to try the old self portrait. I set up my camera on the tripod, and started. turns out I found one I actually liked of myself. It had the right feel (felt like me).
Rachel and Todd Utterback
I was laughing the entire time I was with these two! They are adorable and you can tell he makes her laugh so much. It also happened to be an amazingly warm day here in Chicago, thank goodness for picture miracles.
