{J} Family + 2 boys

Awwwhhh this was my first time meeting up with this sweet Californian family. After 5 years in San Fran, this adorable family of four is now calling Winnetka their home. Both boys (3.5 and 1.5) were HILARIOUSLY awesome from the moment we met. Little man handed me a toy camera and big bro was showing me how faaaast he could run (fyi: he is VERY fast). We had a blast racing/skipping around Centennial Park… the sun even came out for a quick visit! <3 Brace yourselves for Winter, {J} family.

{H} Family + 6 months

How quickly time flies by… Atticus is already six months? WHEN did that happen? As a photographer, I am privy to some special moments in your lives and getting to capture this little man’s first year? Lights out amazing. We did some similiar shots to the first two sessions and I have to say it’s SO cool to see each shot recreated each time. Little man is FULL of giggles (particularly when he is warm) and curious about many of things.

{C} Newborn

Ahhhhh remember this super cute maternity session from this summer? Ummm b/c they were amazing. As was this SUPER EASY newborn session. We had a chat about this… newborn sessions, it’s a funny thing.. I think we all start as photographers having a shared passion, but unsure of what our voice is. I think I’ve finally found where I LOVE newborn photography… Just like my regular photography, it’s the little moments I am after. Each shoot teaches me more and more, but A was the baby that solidified my newborn style through and through. Congratulations to this AMAZING family of three!! Isn’t he just precious?! Gaaaaah! <3

He’s HERE!! Baby E is here! Meet 13 day old D… 8lbs of pure cuteness. I met up with this family over the summer to capture the excitement over this little man’s arrival. Isn’t he just ADORABLE?! Gaaah. Big brother and I had a blast playing around with our “cameras” – the 2nd shot is of C and I “taking pictures” of one another. LOVE this family!!!

{Z} Family + 3 Boys

Another gorgeous night this fall! This adorable family of five and I met up in downtown Oswego for a fun session full of trains, swings and fall goodness. Three boys under four years made for a fun and energetic shoot! We bounced around the park and even took advantage of the train tracks just a few steps away; as big brother LOVED trains. <3
