As you already know, I am a regular subscriber to your blog. So when I saw that there's a brand new entry on my Google Reader, my heart started pounding and I had a feeling that after your June 5 post (in which the images were super fun and they cracked me up), I thought perhaps ours might come up soon. And there they were! I can't begin to tell you how thrilled both of us were going through those pictures tonight as soon as we discovered them.. They were insanely fabulous!! The very last one is my favorite among all: it totally captures how Yanda and I are with each other. I also really loved the UW library shots and the grassy field; they were exactly what I had wanted/imagined, only a million times better.
Thank you SO MUCH for spending so much time with us for the super awesome shots! You are truly talented and we couldn't be any happier with the images. (At first I was worried about my hairdo because I felt that I didn't look like myself with it, but you made everything look so beautiful, easy and natural and I couldn't be happier with the result.) I am so glad that we chose you for our e-session; you were absolutely wonderful to work with! We had so much fun with you and can't wait to see the rest of the pictures!
Love,
Luna & Yanda
Great Session Sarah. I'm new to your blog, but love your work. Fave shot is where Blake's chasing Meggan across the rooftop. Awesome.
Nice. I really like the shot of the couple seen through the bridge supports.
Wonderful work! Well done from start to finish. great colour, mood, it's got it all!
this session rocks, love the negative space, feeling and love of the couple, rock on!
nice shots, in one of my favorite cities--particularly to capture images.
once again - brilliant! looks like you had a ton of fun with this couple - great stuff!!
these are wonderful...so inspiring! i can't wait to go back to chi-town and discover beautiful backdrops like you have!
I love this shoot! I love that you shoot so wide on many shots so that your couples have such a variety to choose from. In such a beautiful city I would love to have an image of the architecture where most people would have to search for me in the image! She is lucky to have friends like you!!!
BEAUTIFUL!
Love the "Where is the couple?" shots! and you really capture chicago's spirit aka the wind XD
Drooling over here.. your photos are just divine! I have to search every corner of your photo to take everything in. Gorgeous couple too!
Some fun framing fun-ness. And, love the second to last shot!
Michael: haha!! I was hoping some of you would appreciate those ;) I know I did. I was amazed I got the car shot... it was going about 40 miles per hour past me.
Olivia: All these shot in noon day sun on a ridiculously sunny day in Chicago... Session was 12:30-2:30ish.
Ok, you get 1,000 points for all the awesome photos, but you get an additional 1,000,000,000 points for the 'hidden couple' photos!!!! It was like a "where's waldo'!! Those are awesome!!!!
These are awesome, dear! What a great job capturing the city. Can I ask what time of day you shot? Please come back so you can take some photos of me. :)

Wow. That wide angle shot in the library is beyond phenomenal. You've done it again...and again....and again.
Oh my oh MY!! I think this is my most favoritest of you all of your shoots........yup. Maybe it's that I love books? Color? Pictures?? I don't know,, can't put my finger on it but I know I'll dream of this post tonight........yup.
This is an incredible set of images. I love every single one of them. You are amazing!
LOOOOOOVE it!!!!
awesome set Sarah...you have such a wonderful feel to your images.

I think library shots in general might be some of my favorites. Library shots taken by the Rhoads make them killer!
Fantastic photos, and such a beautiful couple.
Just love your way of taking photos - it's a great inspiration for me. Thanks!
*blowing me away* it's pretty breezy over here on your blog :)
Gorgeous x10! You are amazing- fabulous shots!

Who's jealous? Jonathan, are you jealous?. Nope, I think I'm in lub.
UW FTW!
Killed it, killed it, killed it! Flawless shoot that tells a beautiful love story! K
Yep - awesomeness. :) You guys are always so creative.
Beautiful shoot!!! Very inspiring!
great work. where do i start?
i love, love, love the brick shot. i also like the shot through the branches to reveal the couple. i like that the prospective groom has some flower petals on his shoulder. the B&W library shot is great. oh, i really like the off-center shot of the couple on the stairs. the site scouting paid off.
Love the book photos!
I've always wanted to shoot amidst books!
Um, you said check out the awesome'ness and these are that + fantastic'ness! Nice work lady!
Sweet images, Sarah. Love your work.
