Bonphotage - Downtown Chicago Engagement Photography - Allie + Kenny

There are so many things I loved about Allie + Kenny's engagement session!. The weather was sunny and mild, they were the sweetest couple with the CUTEST Pomeranian pup name Barley, AND umm..her RING! Talk about a stunner...! 

We had a great time walking around the city to some of Chicago's most iconic locations including the Chicago Riverwalk, Wrigley Building, Michigan Avenue and La Salle Street Bridge. This sweet couples loves Chicago views, so it makes sense that they tie the knot next year at the Loew's Hotel roof deck in downtown Chicago (with some of the most stunning city views in the city!) 

We can't wait to capture your big day next year! 

Enjoy this sneak peek you two!

Bonphotage Chicago Pet and Family Photography

The only thing better than an adorable dog is four of them. Pinch me because I couldn’t ask for a better job. The sun was still shining in California when I met up with Mary and her *beyond cute* gang of golden retrievers and a maltese, Mickey, Layla, Hurley and Gunther. We had a great time bribing the pups with treats in exchange for a sweet smile. I adore so many of their images from their family and pet photography session. Here are just a few of my favorites - enjoy!

Bonphotage Chicago Family and Pet Portraits

A photo is worth a thousand words. To me, a photo is most meaningful when it gives us a glimpse of the beautiful story we all have behind us. We found love, we found a family, we found each other. Jill and Darrell and their adorable french bulldog Walter, are building some beautiful things together and I couldn’t be happier to have captured this adorable trio. Here are just a few of my favorites.  Enjoy!

Kona and Oliver - California Gentle Giants

Bonphotage has photographed a lot of dogs over the years. Big, small and medium, and we love them all. But even with all the pet photography experience under our belts, it's still always a bit intimidating to meet a dog that weighs as much as you and stands up taller than you.

Nevertheless, it took only minutes to realize that there was nothing to fear about Kona and Oliver. These 115 lb Great Danes were as sweet and playful as could be.

 

Shelly has had Kona (the beige Great Dane) since she was 10 weeks old. Kona is 3 years old but still acts like a puppy and loves bounding around the house playfully. She would much rather curl up in a sofa or chair then lay on her bed. She loves to go on walks, does anything for a treat, and enjoys accompanying Shelly and her husband wherever they. Kona thinks everyone should give her love when they see her and can't understand it when they aren't petting her. Understandable!

Oliver, the 6 year old black Great Dane, was adopted just over a year ago. Shelly and her husband are still getting to know him and vice versa. What they know for sure so far is that he has a sweet soul, loves to have his ears scratched, and loves to go on long walks. He can often be found walking around the house with a stuffed toy in his mouth and always has to take one to bed with him. He likes to lie in the sun in the house and outside. Oliver is also known to chase after birds and squirrels, but probably wouldn't know what to do if he actually caught one. His favorite past time is walking up to Kona when she's laying down and making her move so he can take her spot!! Shelly and her husband are so happy we added him to their family!
