ARTCATION / CHICAGO

A few months ago I thought it would be fun to have a trip that is just all about art and wished I had an art friend to go on that trip with who loved art as much as I do. Then I realized, oh my word, I made that person!

Art is something that really bonds me and Grace because we are both so consumed by it. So we set out to Chicago. Thankfully Ryan could come because without his expertise in driving, parking, finding a cool hotel and basically doing all the work of the trip, this wouldn’t have happened. I get overwhelmed planning trips and I’m so thankful when he does it.

So we went to Chicago for a couple days, just the three of us before school started as a final send off to the best summer ever.

Although we had MANY meltdowns on this trip, it was still really fun and I’m excited to do it again next year.

There are some missing things since this doesn’t have any of my iPhone photos or videos like me getting car sick on the way there, tour of the hotel room, her singing in the parking garages, etc. so this is just what Ryan shot and I am so thankful for him.

I’ve never thought of hiring a vacation photographer before but my goodness, WORTH IT. Just to follow you around, take photos from an outside perspective, have a fun little impromptu portrait session wherever you feel like. It was really cool. So go hire Ryan for this. It is worth it. :)
