Madsen Family: Chicago Lifestyle Session

My darling 6 year old & I flew to Chicago to visit my brother & his family. Having just had their 2nd (check out her AMAZING red hair!!), and wanting to take advantage of me we schemed up a lifestyle session in downtown Chicago. My brother is working on his PhD (yes, the brainiac of the family) in accounting at the University of Chicago and graduates next summer so we started there. Can I just tell you the campus is GORGEOUS!? And OLD. I LOVED all of the architecture.

Next we ventured to Museum Campus where they spend a lot of their time, and added in the Chicago skyline (which is AMAZING.) Having only really lived in Utah, I was super impressed with how large a BIG city actually is. Time for us to move? Yes please!

And, finally, to the beach! Although the beach actually borders Lake Michigan, I didn’t actually feel like I was at a lake. More like an ocean. So fun!! Thanks for hanging out you guys! It was SO good to see you!

    Jess, I love these pictures! It was so fun to see your brother’s family. I know I don’t really know them, but I feel like I do because I had the one semester teaching Sunday School with him.
