I was finally able to take the kids out (all separate days) and do their photo shoots for their birthdays.  First one up is Braeden who recently turned 6. The next one is Andrew who turned 8 last month, and last is Elizabeth who turned 11 this past week.  After I took them out for their birthday shoots I realized, “hey I need pictures of them together”  so off we went for another photo shoot.  So the tail end pictures are of them together.

Meet Baby A.  He has to be one of the calmest baby’s I’ve seen lately. He was so calm and content during our session even though he was awake for most of it.  The only time I heard him cry was when he was hungry. And hey, don’t we complain when we’re hungry?   So here’s a sneak peek of this lil guy.

I had the pleasure of meeting Miss E when she was 11 days old.  She was quite awake when I first arrived, but soon after she was sleeping peacefully.

Book yours today.

Saturday I had a fabulous shoot with a super fun family at the beach.  It was a tad bit humid down by the water, and a little bit crowded, but I think we worked around the heat and the crowds well.  I hope you guys had as much fun as I did Here’s a tiny sneak peek. Enjoy.the family

Last night I met a great family at Cantigny Gardens. Unfortunately not under the best of circumstances.   However I think we made the most of it and had a wonderful session and I think I got some wonderful images for Josh and his family to enjoy while he is deployed.  Here’s a sneak peek…

If you have ever met me, or at least seen a picture of me, then you know that freckles are a big part of who I am. And that is  why I will be looking high and low for some freckled models. Young, old and in between, if you have freckles then you qualify.  With a signed model release form, I will be offering a 45 minute mini-shoot and a cd with 5 images from the session.  So if you or someone you know has been “kissed by the sun” then please e-mail me to schedule your shoot now.

Like Natasha Bedingfield says

Cause a face without Freckles is like a sky without stars
Why waste a second not loving who you are
Those little imperfections make you beautiful, lovable, valuable,
They show your personality inside your heart
Reflecting who you are

Meet Ellie.  She’s shy when you first meet her, but when you really get to know her,watch out.  This little girl is full of life, and a bit of spunk.  We had a blast using some .89 balloons and a pettiskirt for this session.  When it came time for the dandelions, she got very serious regarding her wishes.  I don’t know what she was wishing for, but I could only guess that one was for a baby sister (that one did not come true as she received a baby brother instead.)

Here are a few from her session.

This family was simply beautiful. We had a stunning location to work with, with a not so stunning day.  When I first arrived at Cantigny it was pouring down rain. Two weddings had been rained out, and were moved indoors. The museums were already closed, so there went my other alternative location.  Oh well. We waited about 15 minutes, and the rain finally let up. We wandered all around the garden areas.  The kids were amazing.  So here are a few images from their session.

Meet Sam and his family.  He was a dream baby to work with.  Super cute and cuddly, with a great family too.
