Day-To-Night

It is no secret I am in love with Chicago. 

I was so happy to visit my friends, Flavia & Elliott, who moved to the city last August. It was the first time I went to their apartment and as expected, it was breathtaking. They have the most incredible view from their floor to ceiling windows I've seen. I was lucky enough to catch the day-to-night transformation.

Chicago From Space

In case you were wondering, it really is a grid.

The Greatest Lake

Chicago is known for its polarizing winters, love of baseball, and a corruption scandal here & there. 

What it ISN'T... is 80/+ degrees in mid March. 

Until NOW...

Ice Skating

 

It's no secret that I spent the majority of my youth in the ice rink. I outgrew my more-than-my-rent professional ice skates years ago but every winter I force them on and head to Millenium Park for the free outdoor rink. It feels like you are truly in a storybook the view is so gorgeous. We are not offered many perks during Chicago winters....but this is definitely one of them. Getting to stare at the Adventures In Babysitting building is just a bonus.

Frame It

I often tell people I was Ansel Adams in a previous life. While I don't believe this to be entirely true, I have uncovered this hidden love in recent years for taking photos. I must say scenic shots are my favorite and living in Chicago.... the possibilities are endless.
