So the fact that she is not only here, but happy and healthy is quite the miracle! Even MORE exciting, she is gonna be a big sister this November!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Absolutely amazing and so cool. Happy Birthday, P. You make 3 look good, girl! <3

{R} Family

Awwhhhhhhh look at big these boys have gotten?!? When did that HAPPEN?! I’ve photographed this sweet fammily for the past three years and each time I love them more and more (is that possible)? Big bro M was allll about this shoot (it helps having iron man strapped to my camera), but such a sweet, little man he has become. Gentle and kind to his little bro (at least for me and these pictures) – he has grown up so fast! Little man W just turned one last week and is all about doing what he wants and showing his independence. LOVED seeing how much these guys have grown!!! <3

Little man C has made his debuuuuuut! Meeting up with this adorable family this past weekend was amazing… full of love, sweetness and respect for one another. I loved them! Big brother is somewhat interested in C, but for the most part just loves identifying his eyes, lips and ears. HA! Absolutely adorable!! Sneak a peek at a few early favorites from this session:

{T} Family + 9 Months

Little Luke…. GAH! So so so so cute. I met up with this adoooorbale little family on an unusually (for this summer anyway) hot summer night in St. Charles. The bugs were out and this little boy ROCKED IT. Such a pleasure meeting a family that loves on each other the way these three do. I ADOOOOORE the family shots of them laying down on the ground – which is something they all do together daily. PRECIOUS I tell ya, PRESH! Sneak a peek of my favorites below:

Newborn {K}

The sweetest, STRONGEST and most adorable family just grew to FIVE … as precious Kaitlyn arrived into this world a total surprise (the fact that she was a GIRL). Awwwh lots of pink/bows and all things pretty are coming your way!!! Jen and I go waaaay back and I am thrilled to have been able to capture her family as they grow, adapt and even move homes. K is healthy, happy and already hardcore Gawel — as she underwent heart surgery just a few days old. All is well, but they just had to give her a little extra lovin’. Here is just a sneak peek at this beautiful little girl… Congrats, G Family!!!!! <3

{F} Family + Newborn Owen

“A baby is born with a need to be loved – and never outgrows it.” Frank A. Clark.

And baby makes FOUR! I first met this adorable family last summer, when Stella turned the big ONE. This year I was incredibly honored to be invited back into their lives and capture their newest family member, just three days old… Owen. Big Sis, S is still warming up to the idea of him, but you can see her softening with the little kisses she showers him with daily.

Absolutely adorable and beautiful family below: You’ve been warned. <3

{T} Family + Fog

Awwwwh the most beautiful grandparents are on the blog today! This shoot was a present to the grandmother of these adorable little grandkiddos. We met up on what WAS a really sunny/blue sky day… but lately downtown Chicago is being slammed with random fog and this night was no exception. We rolled with it and got some pretty eerily cool shots. Sneak a peek at a few early favorites from this sweet shoot:
