So thrilled to be sharing Nicole and John’s absolutely adorable Lincoln Park engagement session! We had the most gorgeous fall weather and golden hour light, and all around Lincoln Park the colors were making the lovely transition from green to gold.

I loved the combo of light and navy blue that Nicole and John chose for their session. It was the perfect neutral that provided just the right amount of contrast and color for their backdrop. And I’m obsessed with Nicole’s little blue dress. The shape and the layers just worked perfectly.

Nicole and John also brought along their oh so sweet little dog, Milly. Milly was such a sweetheart and was so fun to photograph. You can tell she loves her mom and dad so much – she didn’t want to leave their side 🙂

Nicole, John and Milly, thank you for letting me be a part of this special time in your lives!

Shoutout to PhilanthroTea

I actually have been a fan of Nicole’s for a while, because she and her sister started an amazing tea business called PhilanthroTea. It’s loose leaf tea (which you know I love) with a mission (which makes it even more amazing!). Each of PhilanthroTea’s unique blends is partnered with an organization that is helping to make the world a better place, and 20% of profits are donated to those organizations.

• Their Organic Peach Mango blend (my personal favorite!) partners with animal welfare organizations
• Their Organic Chai Spice blend partners with agencies that provide environmental support and awareness
• Their Organic Peppermint Lavender blend partners with organizations that support mental health awareness and welfare
• Their Organic Caffeine-Free Chamomile Spice blend partners with organizations that support children’s wellness and wellbeing

These teas make amazing gifts (even Alicia Silverstone thinks so!), so go snag some for everyone on your list!

P.S. Before you ask, this is NOT a sponsored post! I just want brag about the amazing things my client is doing 🙂 And also I truly love the tea!
