A Birthday Parade in a Pandemic {Chicago Birthday Photographer}

Turning three is a big deal! It’s usually when kids start to get excited about and understand their birthdays, and looking forward to birthday parties. Miss E turned three in a pandemic and instead of a birthday party this year, she got a birthday parade! And it was dinosaur themed, which made me smile so much, especially in the photos where she’s pretending to be a dinosaur! This girl is so full of joy and life and I want to carry her around in my pocket to have her sunshine with me all the time!

I think birthday parades might be one of the best things to come out of 2020! Humans: making the most out of whatever life throws at us.

Alive Rescue - Lucky For Life Gala at The Joinery in Chicago, IL

I recently had the pleasure of contributing photos at the annual gala for Alive Rescue. Their Lucky for Life gala was held once again at The Joinery in Logan Square, a venue that is so charming and beautiful. This year’s event was a Masquerade ball and you best believe the pups were dressed just as well as their humans! (I had no idea that masquerade masks were even made for dogs…) One of my favorite flower companies, Flowers for Dreams, provided the gorgeous blooms and I was quite excited. There were tarot card readers, palm readers & delicious food and cocktails. Such a wonderful, beautiful evening for a great cause. I love giving back, especially to Alive Rescue!
