I’m so stoked to share Juliana + Courtney’s stunning Logan Square engagement session in Chicago. These two cuddled up on a super cold day in February and shared a drink at beautiful Estereo, a whimsical, yet industrial bar on Milwaukee Avenue in Logan Square. Then, we spent just a little time on the Riverwalk in […]
