As we were preparing to shoot our next cover story, we realized that we hadn’t yet posted about the last shoot! Well, we’ve been working on an extra-special, top-secret project and this particular cover story has a lot to do with it. We are honored and flattered to be part of a newly launched website, ChicagoNow, with our new blog, Styled in Chicago. So how does this tie into a downtown, rooftop patio photo shoot, you ask? Well, the Chicago Tribune, or “Mother Tribune” as we’ve taken to calling her, has a vested interest in ChicagoNow, and Mother Tribune takes care of her bloggers! So, when we met with Tracy, the brains behind CN, and she showed us this gorgeous outdoor patio, we just knew we had to shoot here.   

Our lovely model, Hadley, and a peek of the view…

Our photographer, Scott (who looks an awful lot like a young Robin WIlliams)…

Photog and assistant extraordinaire, JD, along with the ladies of hair and make-up… 

Aside from the usual suspects we normally encounter during a ‘behind-the-scenes’ — photographer, assistants, hair & makeup, racks of clothes, and the overall vibe of hurry-up-and-wait — there was quite a bit of action 22 floors up…
