Special day for Baby V

Since just about all of my portrait sessions are done outdoors...I get a nice little break this time of year.  It's a welcome bit of downtime after crazy fall portrait season and then the holidays!  Also gives me time to devout to my babe and her daddy and our little fur baby.  This past weekend we celebrated a very special day for my little angel...her baptism.  It was a wonderful day shared with family and friends.

And of course we started the day capturing how beautiful she looked in her baptismal gown :)

Spring has sprung

OAK PARK PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER 

And then some! For those of you who live in Chicago...you know how lucky we have been this spring...with mild (heck WARM) temperatures in March! Makes for a beautiful backdrop when shooting outdoors! Everything is so bright and full!  A few shots from my session with Cameron and Tyler ...who were fun to chase around Oak Park's Chaney Mansion .

Dainty as Ever

CHICAGO PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER 

I've never seen a little one with a cuter 'step' than this little girl...Everton's walk is honest to goodness a mix of a tip toe and and a ballerina's step.  It is simply the cutest thing I've ever seen. Pretty much impossible to catch just how cute on camera...times like these I really should switch the 5D Mk II over to video!

Simply Precious!!

A few shots from my session with Marla and Keira...I first shot these beautiful twins when they were six months old.  Crazy to see how they've grown and how their personalities are developing!

Sweet Goodness

Chicago Newborn Photographer

Such a busy fall right into the holidays has me sooo behind in blogging sessions!  NY resolution is to do a better job of staying on top of all things!! To include blogging :)

So to start things off...I got to spend a few hours with Griffin and his mama and papa when he was just one week old...(aaaaand to tell you just how behind I am...he is just a week or so shy of 2 months old now! eek!)  He was such a sweetheart to work with!  A few pictures from our session...

Fall Family Photos

Bolingbrook Family Photographer 

Such a busy fall!  I met up with the Petersen family near their home in Bolingbrook.  We had a beautiful fall day...a few shots from our session...

Practically Perfect in Every Way

LINCOLN PARK FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER


Everything about this little girl makes me smile. Sparkly blue eyes, a constant smile, the SWEETEST personality!!  Some shots from our sunrise shoot in Lincoln Park!  As one of my favorite ladies ever (who doesn't love some Mary Poppins??) once said..Practically Perfect in Every Way...

 This one is my very fav... to catch 'a look' between mother and daughter like that....sigh...just makes my heart melt.  And if you can't see who she gets her smile from ...let me help ya :) ↓↓↓

Fall Fun

NAPERVILLE FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER

A few shots from my session with the Sujewicz family...they have 3 gorgeous, vivacious boys who were tough to keep up with!  We lucked out and got a beautiful fall day! Just ♥ this time of year!   

Chasing Chace

DEERFIELD PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER

Some shots from my session with the Cochrans...Chace is every bit of BOY you could ever hope to witness!! It was a hoot to watch his mom & dad try to wrangle him.  He runs and falls and gets back up like it never happened.  He is fearless and full of energy and just FUN to be around!  Soooo ridiculously happy!!  It was no easy task to keep up with him...and I only had to try for an hour!  I did manage to find a moment or two of him at rest...which allowed for shots like this...

In early 2012 Chace will be a big brother!! A few early maternity shots to celebrate!!
