The UP is calling and we must go.
Ginger is going to become a two track Jeep riding Yooper dog.

All jwp business will be on hold until after Labor Day and the start of my 49th 😳 trip around the sun.

I've been sitting on the best kind of announcement.

Jeff's son and daughter-in-law are expecting! Jeff is going to be a grandpa! squeeeeeee. It's so fun listening to everyone place a guess on boy or girl. I'm team boy, of course. But everyone else is team girl, so far.

I'm usually the one who guesses everything before it's announced, and I absolutely did on our way to dinner as well. This baby will be so loved and bilingual! Now Jeff and I have several months to learn enough Spanglish for babysitting duty in 2027.

Congratulations to the whole family. We're so excited.

Also DeFries Gardens is in full bloom and incredible right now. Let's get you on the calendar.

Help me out, friends.

If you were leaving the United States for a few years 🥹 what is the go to place that you must visit to eat before leaving? Where is your special occasion spot? Celebration place? Or every day fabulous spot you would choose?

Breakfast, lunch, ice cream and/or dinner. It can be in the 219, 574 or 269 area code radius, even downtown Chicago if it is that good. Preferably not a franchise.

*Fall session and schedule update*

Sunday, 9/13, New Buffalo dune & beach session has two more early afternoon spots available.

LaPorte people - fall family sessions will be available on Saturday, October 17, location TBD.

Michiana people - fall family sessions will be the weekend of October 10 & 11. Location TBD. It will likely be close to Goshen/New Paris.

I will be unavailable September 26 - October 7. We will be watching Nick jump out of perfectly good airplanes and he and Kaycee packing up for a hopefully uneventful and boring move to their first duty station. Pray for us.

Now is the perfect time for weeknight sessions, the weather is cooler, the sun is setting earlier. This is season why we live where the air hurts our face in February. If you are interested in a session, please reach out soon!

In August of 2020, I second shot a wedding in the burbs of Chicago. It was incredible, intimate, and created the gold standard for how I look at weddings. The beautiful couple celebrated with the people most important to them. It was a five course meal with full service and bar staff. In the time of covid, after being in lockdown an outside wedding and reception was glorious. This was and to this day a dream wedding to shoot.

It does not matter if you're eating on chinet or china. It does not matter if you're dropping $5,000 on flowers or buying them from Trader Joes for $500. No one cares if both your dresses total $150,000 or if you scored it second hand for $50. Make the most important part be the celebration of the life starting together once you leave.

Make your wedding yours.

Let me capture it for you.

My Nick turns 20 today.
He also graduates from Army Advanced Individual Training (AIT) today. It's the job training phase of being a soldier. In the last year he has graduated boot camp, got married, graduates AIT today and will soon jump out of perfectly good airplanes as he continues on his path. I'm so exponentially proud and in awe of him.

He's one of the reasons I picked up a camera to document our life. This is a reminder to document yours. Whatever that looks like, a cell phone, a camera, a go pro, paying a professional to do it - whatever is available to you is the best instrument to use.

Squeeze your people just a smidge harder for me today, please. I've got a few more days before I get to hug my Nick on a field in Georgia.
