. . . and that’s exactly what I did, I played with Isabella for two days. These are a few of my favorite shots.

My daughter treated us to an evening luau dinner at Brookfield Zoo. The evening started at 6:30 pm (after closing) with a safari ride to the dolphin exhibit and ended at 10:30 p.m. after a lovely dinner and drinks. This was mostly an adult event and it was an amazing experience. Thank you Sandrita for this amazing gift. I had such a great time.
I’ve taken creative liberties with these images that I normally would not- but since they are my personal stash I played. You can view the whole set on my Facebook Page

I’ve been holding on to a set of images for the past month and a half. I wanted to make sure I could do these pictures justice. It’s my mother in laws birthday from July. I am really lucky to be able to have a great relationship with my in-laws. Words cannot express what they mean to me. Suffice it to say “Jan and Alex – I love you guys, thank you so much for your support.”
added a little HDR

A sure sign that our summer is coming to an end. The Lake County Fair. Tonight was a no brainer evening for David and I. We just wondered the fair grounds enjoying the summer evening.

Meet Miss Ariel! GORGEOUS! She graduated with the class of 2011 but had not been able to get her Senior pictures done – until now. I’m glad she waited 
She didn’t want the usual “pretty park and flowers” type of shoot – she wanted edgy and grungy and that’s what we got! If you’d like to see a few more “like” my Facebook Page S.R.Marek Photography Facebook

Also gave me the chance to play with my new lens.

The child must know that he is a miracle, that since the beginning of the world there hasn’t been, and until the end of the world there will not be, another child like him.”

How appropriate that for the first day of summer this princess decides to play with butterfly wings. She buzzed around the yard for a while.
We played, we colored, we crafted. What a perfect summer evening.
