Ask Anne: Cara & Sean Engagement

About

This blog is where my personal and business life intersect. I'm a a multi-passionate creative who teaches people how to create faster roadmaps to abundance in work and life through the doorways of business consulting and reiki teaching. If you'd like a DIY workbook to plan for your own creative living, check out my Pricing Workbook for Creatives. You'll see that I travel the world as often as I can and keep a gratitude journal as a reminder to find strength in my challenges. I was a full-time professional photographer for 15 years, so there are still many cringe-worthy archives of my early work and artistic journey on this 19 year old blog. I've written loads of creative business advice over on the Photolovecat blog, and have started sharing reiki healing stories and healing moments over on the Abundant Sphere blog. If you'd like to learn more about me, here's a TEDx Talk of what my guiding questions have been to help me tune into my natural gifts and purpose. I'm available for workshops, presentations, interviews, and private consultations on creative business topics and for the advancement of arts programs in schools and communities:

Even though Cara & Sean will be getting married in Bloomington, IN; Chicago is the city they call home and where we got to spend some time enjoying the scenery for their engagement photos. We started off at the Conservatory near Lincoln Park and much to my surprise, Sean is quite the horticulturalist! I could just see him quietly cataloging different plants he might use in a future garden project.

Along our stroll to the beach, I spotted this hill of overgrown grass next to the canal. This and the first image are my favorites from the day! You know, guys almost always take a little more to warm up during engagement photos - but don't they look great when they smile?!

Yummay... leading lines and vanishing points....

This one may be a wee bit too obscure, but that's what I like about it. I think more DoF would have made my intent stronger, but it would have taken longer to find the ring.
