Nick is an avid golfer and a member of the Burlington Central Varsity Golf team so it was only natural that his session was held on a golf course! They are members at Elgin Country Club and we received permission to shoot there even though it was closed on the day of his session. But that was perfect because we could fly around on the golf cart to all his favorite holes and not have to worry about getting in anyone’s way. It is a beautifully landscaped golf course and many really fun places to shoot. Some interesting facts about Nick:

Shelbi’s session started at the Japanese Gardens in Fabyan Park in Geneva and ended at her rural Elgin home. We were not able to get into the Japanese Gardens because they were closed for the day but were able to shoot in the area around it. It was a simply gorgeous day and a gorgeous area to shoot at, but it was very popular – there was at least 5 other photographers there and 2 wedding parties! Shelbi has the most beautiful RED, CURLY hair! Seriously jealous!
