Mike in Chicago } Anytime

You know how sometimes you cross paths with someone who leaves an impression on your heart and your life is never the same again? You find a person who you know will be a true friend for life. Friends that will always have your back, and never betray you are so hard to find in this world but I am proud to say Mike is one of those friends for me. He has been an inspiration in my life in more ways than one and I could never repay him for the things he has taught me and the many ways he has been there for me. Mike is one of the kindest, most genuine people I have ever met and I am so lucky to call him a true friend for life. On my recent trip to Chicago I did a photo shoot of Mike to document this time in his life and below are a few of my favorites.

Mike, thank you for being YOU. And thank you for being my friend. You are beautiful in every sense of the word and I will never stop being inspired by you.

He totally rocked his shoot… I mean really.

This one is hilarious because I never noticed the huge NO TRESPASSING sign right behind him while shooting this!! HAHA! We’re SUCH rebels. OOPS.

It was an absolutely perfect day in Chicago. I didn’t want to quit shooting because seriously… look at this light: chicagophotographer014

I love them all but this is my absolute favorite of the day.
