Veterans Acres Engagement Session
January 9th, 2019

Veterans Acres Engagement Session

It’s no secret engagement sessions are occasions I truly treasure! I get to connect with my couples and get to know them on a deeper level. I simply love everything about this Veterans Acres engagement session. 
Picking the right outfit and perfect location might be stressful, but I really cherish helping my couples with all of that. You could never be too overdressed for your session, and let’s just say Patti and Rick nailed their outfits. I will be honest, the color blush and all neutral colors are amazing to photograph and these beautiful lovebirds were no exception.
Veterans Acres is a bit of a hike to be amongst the pretty trees, but it’s easy to say that it is so worth it! Veterans Acres is is a hidden gem I hope everyone gets a chance to enjoy as much as I enjoyed capturing the love and beauty of this amazing couple!
Patti and Rick – Love you both!

ABOUT-I’m a dog lover. My two pups Kona, a mini Golgendoodle, and Miya, Chocolate lab, keep me on my toes. I love going to coffee shops especially La Colombe. They surprise me with the best designs in my Latte. God and my marriage will always come first. Date nights with my hubby are my favorite. I’m a sucker for Romantic comedies. I could eat Chipotle everyday. I absolutely love meeting new couples in love: it’s my favorite thing about my job. I always wanted to be a fly girl growing up. If I could play soccer everyday, I would. My family and friends are my backbone.

Anyone else loves Mondays like me?!? Not only are Anyone else loves Mondays like me?!? Not only are they a fresh start, but we’ve had tradition on Mondays for 4 years of having two of our close friends over our home for dinner and watch bachelor. It started with us making them watch The Wire and ended up with the Bachelor. 

Confession- most of the time ( all the time) I don’t pay attention or know what’s happening on the @bachelorabc I’m just here for the food. #ilovemondays
Who’s excited for 45° weather and the weekend?! Who’s excited for 45° weather and the weekend?!? 🙋🏽‍♀️ I’ve realized I show my face here a lot, lol but It’s fun fact Friday( it’s a thing), so here’s a mixture of facts about me. 

1- #mynoinstagramhusband is taking me skydiving for my 40th. Birthday. I asked for this 5 years ago, but he wasn’t ready and now I’m not sure how I feel about jumping at 40. 😬

2- I still don’t have tiktok and refuse to download the app. Either way Instagram shows them all. 😑

3- My maiden last name is Portillo, but that still doesn’t get me a free Italian beef or a hot dog @portilloshotdogs when I tell them. 😝

4- I grew up in El Salvador during a civil war and came to Chicago when I was 9 yrs. old. I could probably write a book about this.  Lol  Do I have any Salvadorians?!? No, just me. Cool 🥴 

5- I’m an introvert even though my friends and couples think other wise. This little business  of mine has made me an extrovert. 🤗 

Happy Friday! Hope everyone has a lovely weekend.
Even though winters are crazy in Chicago, I fall i Even though winters are crazy in Chicago, I fall in love with this city during the other seasons again. I can’t wait to see my amazing couples and for wedding season.
