The Bouma Family

I'm not sure I've ever laughed so much during a shoot before, and the giggles come right back just flipping through these images. Tim and Missy were game for an extended walk around Eastown, and these kids were so funny and adventurous and sweet (and remarkably patient considering how long the shoot lasted!). Also, let's cheers to the fact that no one fell in the pond.

Stephanie | Bad At Math Knits

I know I've been throwing a lot of blog posts at you this week, but hang in there with me because you really don't want to miss out on the relaunch of Bad At Math Knits! I've known Stephanie, the creative genius and knitting extraordinaire behind BAM, for nearly ten years. We were suitemates in college, then roommates in Eastown, and now that she's firmly established in Chicago, she graciously introduces me to all the greatest places whenever I'm visiting. She's celebrating one year of BAM with some brand new images (and great new designs!), so if anybody is in the market for Ron Swanson mittens, you're in luck. I'll take the Arrested Development pair, because as we all know, there's always money in the banana stand.
