A romantic Date Night in Chicago
featuring Sydney & Chris
And one day, you realize it was never about the big things. You realize it’s actually about the little moments that feel like magic. It’s about the simplest of seconds that make you smile. It’s about the genuine experiences that fill your heart with joy. It’s about the conversations that make you believe in kindness and compassion. It’s about the hugs you want to hold for that little bit longer. It’s about surrounding yourself with people that feel like sunshine. It’s about the moments of peace and stillness that prove how beautiful the world can be. It was never about the big things.

This idea of finding magic in the everyday resonated with me as I thought back on a recent session with Sydney & Chris. Their love was so sweet and quite literally felt like sunshine. Their joy in just being together made a simple evening walking around Chicago feel like magic.
Sydney & Chris aren’t just partners; they're best friends. Whether it’s hiking with their dogs, exploring a new place, finding a new coffee spot, or simply talking, it's obvious they're at their best when they're together.
For our session, I wanted to capture the joy of their relationship & encapsulate that feeling of peace when you’re understood by someone so deeply. So, we kept the vision simple & just wandered through Chicago, finding little pockets of peace, quiet, & light in the busy chaos. & of course stopping to try a new coffee shop.
Their love belongs in the movies. Looking at these photos, you can feel how genuine they are as people & as partners. I’ve never felt so at ease during a session & I am so grateful to have spent an evening finding little moments of peace & being present with Sydney & Chris. They remind me how magical the little things can be.
