Celebrating Mama

Chicago Maternity Photographer

It's now been enough weeks since our session that this mama has welcomed her beautiful baby girl to the world, and they are now a sweet family of 5!  But Jamie made for such a gorgeous pregnant lady (and these were taken in her very final weeks!!) --- that I just had to share a couple with the world.

Stay tuned for a peak at some of the images of her sweet baby girl!

Portraits in the Park!

Chicago Portrait Photographer

So great seeing this sweet family again! I've had the privilege of capturing these three since Bobby was just turning 6 months old.  Now he is a very active toddler and full of personality!  We spent the morning shooting at Bobby's favorite park...a few shots from our session!

Happy 6 Month Birthday Baby A!

Chicago Portrait Photographer

I love when mommie's sign on for a full YEAR ONE package...the ability to capture and document a little one's first 12 months is so special.  This sweet girl was born this fall and here she is...already 6 months old...and just perfect. Just look at those striking blue eyes..and those CHEEKS!!! I could eat her up! Happy 6 months to this little angel!

Celebrating Sisters

Chicago Boudoir Photographer

These two beautiful ladies made this shoot soooo much fun!  Celebrating sisterhood and babies-to-be (yes, one of these lovlies was prego) and the total GORGEOUSNESS that they both have going on! A few of the G-Rated shots...

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 ;)
