One of my very good friends, Jill asked me to take pictures of her beautiful family and their adorable daughter, Mia for her 1st birthday. This kid has the sweetest smile! Here are just a couple from our shoot at Lake Katherine. I’ll post the rest soon!

This was a fabulous session! Robyn & Kevin are so photogenic, and their gorgeous daughter, Rayna is an absolute doll. She was probably the most well behaved 2 year old I’ve ever had the privilege of photographing! Completely adorable! More of these soon!

Meet the O’Leary Family! Sarah got in contact with me because my wonderful sister, Cheryl had been raving about me to her co-workers at Delnor Hospital and Sarah, another nurse there, happened to hear. We decided to meet up at Emricson Park in Woodstock, near their home. I told Sarah that would work out great because my husband’s family lived up there. Cue the “It’s a Small World” song. Apparently, Sarah’s husband, Conor is good friends with my husband’s cousin, Jerrod. The location and the last name tipped it off. Don’t you love that?
So first we have the beautiful Kiera who just turned one on September 3rd. LOVE tutu’s! And the leggings are to die for! So is that smile, she’s such a sweetheart! After that, we had a quick change on Kiera and shot family pictures. These three really are as sweet as they look! My favorite picture out of the bunch? Conor and Sarah kissing on the swings. You can’t beat that.
Thanks so much for contacting me, Sarah! I really had a great time with your beautiful family!

I couldn’t have asked for more perfect weather for this shoot! Overcast skies, nice and cool. Not to mention the beautiful family I had the pleasure of meeting and photographing! More pictures of the little Miss Kiera and her beautiful family soon!

Rhianna and I “met” each other through an online forum for mom’s. She and her husband, Jeff and their adorable baby, Charlotte live in Colorado She contacted me through Facebook, letting me know they were coming back to Illinois to visit with both of their families and they’d like a big family picture. Two families, made up of six separate families, seven couples, and eight kids. Pretty much the largest family group I’ve done since starting my business. I had a blast! Everyone is so photogenic, it was hard not to have a great time. Plus, the land and the barn on Rhianna’s sister’s property made a fantastic backdrop for the pictures. All the blues with the textures of the barn, perfect. Thank you so much, all of you for such a fantasic shoot!

I had a great time with this session! Kara, Mike, their son Cole (and baby Ryder) and I went to Lake Katherine on Saturday for Kara’s maternity shoot. I had such a hard time just choosing one or two of these pictures! More of the story and more pictures to come!
Seriously, check these shoes. Aren’t they hot? And she’s pregnant. Walking around in a forest preserve. She’s my hero.

I drove to Chicago this morning to do a sitting with a newborn baby, Matthew, and his sister, Elsie. Matthew was born around the same time that my daughter, Lily was born. Mom was nice enough to let me bring Lily along for the shoot and she was a perfect little angel, sleeping through the whole sitting! Matthew is just adorable with his head full of hair and his big beautiful eyes! And Elsie is such a sweetie, and so photogenic! Thanks for a great shoot and thanks for letting me bring Lily along!

Merry Christmas!! I wanted to get out pictures done for our Christmas cards this year, so we set up in the living room and took some shots. Ava did a great job and she had fun to boot! I even got Samson and Leo in on it! I wasn’t too happy with my pictures, but that’s why I stay behind the lens usually. Maybe I’ll treat myself to a family shoot/maternity shoot from another photographer before this baby comes along. Meanwhile, I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

My brother’s family and mine went down (they came up) to Rantoul, IL to the Reindeer Ranch for some Christmas pictures for their kids. I don’t get to see them often, so I usually jump at the chance to meet for whatever reason. Ava loves spending time with her cousins, so it makes for a nice day vacation almost. So we fed some reindeer, took some pictures, let the kids play and had some dinner nearby. Great day!
