Baby Max -- 5 days new

Chicago Newborn Photographer

This little boy has such a special place in my heart!!  I've know his mama for the better part of my life and so shooting this session, with this gorgeous and sweet baby boy...it was just magic.

Laura and Dave, Max is so incredibly lucky to have you two as parents!  He was born into the most loving, fun, vibrant family and I am so beyond happy for all of you!  Cherish every single sweet and cuddly moment...and I know you will :)  All of my love!

Fall Portraits -- Bennett Family

Chicago Portrait Photographer

A quick look at this gorgeous family from our session a little over a week ago.  We got it in the very last weekend the trees were holding their leaves...and it was beautiful!

These little boys were such rockstars the entire shoot.  I usually plan to build in some 'warm up' time...a buffer before we really get 'down to it' to allow little ones time to get more comfortable with the stranger with the giant camera.  Not necessary with these kiddos.  They were so outgoing and fun!

Such a good looking clan---they could have shown up in bags and would have looked smashing. But mom did a fantastic job with the styling! I adore when clients incorporate pops of color!

Baby Abigail Newborn Shoot

Chicago Newborn Photographer

I had the pleasure of shooting this eager little lady last month.  Baby Abigail was not really down with the delivery date the doctors gave her mama, and decided that she'd prefer to make an appearance sooner than later---a full 3 weeks early!  She arrived perfect and beautiful and ready for the world...as you can see ;)

Newborn Session: Baby Harper

CHICAGO NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHER 

I saw this little lady about a week ago and could barely believe how quickly she's growing!  I had had the pleasure of shooting this little lady's big brother for his newborn photos a few years ago...so an absolute treat to get to do it again with the newest member of the family!

Sara and Joe

Naperville Wedding Photography

Sara gets the bride of the year century award. Planning a beautiful wedding is an undertaking, no matter how you attack it.  But planning a beautiful wedding that you then DIY... I mean really.  I could not have been more impressed when I arrived to this occasion!  Sara is an artist, and her style and creativity was evident in every detail.  She married her long time sweetheart, Joe...surrounded by family and friends and most importantly...their two stunning little girls.  A few images from their day...

Sweet Little Lane

Evergreen Park Newborn Photographer

I have a special place in my heart for mamas who are 9 and 10 mos pregnant in the middle of July/August/dead of summer!! It is not a fun time of year to be carrying around another person full time.     But when you get a beautiful miracle of goodness as your end game --- sure makes all the discomfort worth while :)  A few shots from my session with the stunning and so very sweet baby Lane.
