Kina + Jonathan :: Engagement {Chicago}

It was over a year ago that I first heard Kina’s name. A mutual friend of ours was telling me all about her and what an awesome person she was. I couldn’t help but want to get to know this Kina a little better but she lived in Chicago and I lived in Louisiana. It wasn’t until I was there a couple of weeks ago (hosting a boudoir marathon in The Windy City) that we were both able to finally meet and squeeze in a mini engagement shoot for her and her fiance’ Jonathan. After spending a little time with her and getting to know her better, it all made sense what my friend had told me all along. Kina really is an amazing woman and someone I have enjoyed getting to know. Her joy and passion for life is what makes her so special and I was honored to get to spend some time with someone so incredible. Jonathan is a lucky man and vice versa. His adoration and love for Kina is truly charming and I just know they will be very happy together.

K+J: Thanks so much for braving the wind and cold in Chicago to spend a little time with me. I am glad to know you both. : )

Here are a few of my favorites from their shoot:
