Meet sweet Carter. Just 8 days fresh. <3 I love love love repeat families and I have had the honor capturing this beaaautiful family for the past three years and am humbled that I once again got invited to their home to capture this time in their lives. Carter is already incredibly loved by his big brother and big sister… its too cute for words. Congratulations to this absolutely amazing family and their newly expanded family of 5. I adore you all and love so many of these moments:
{W} Family + Baby Bump K
Haaaaaaaaands down one of the most beautiiiiful families EVER! I love, LOVE that I got meetup with this crazy, awesome crew this again year! Even cooler – momma rounded the corner of the car with belly in tow! What a fun and fabulous surprise!!!! Baby boy is due to arrive in mid October and these two kiddos are super pumped for him to get here (though they are very against helping with diapers I’ll have you know). Congratulations, W family!!! Love seeing your sweet faces and am so happy for you all!!! Sneak a peek at my many favorites below:

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:
{M} Family + 1 Year
Has it really been a year?! Sweet Teagan is already ONE year old! (Seriously, time… slow down. STAT). While T was the star of this shoot, it was fun to get capture each girl and their unique personality AND snap a family shot with everyone alert and looking (wooohoo)! 🙂 Sneak a peek at some of my early favorites. <3
{S} Family + Two years + Maternity
Awwwwwwwwh seet amazing thing are happening for the {S} Family. Sweet Evie turned two YESTERDAY and she will soon be a big sister (3 months from now), but what a fun shoot. We met up on another fabulous summer night in Itasca at a spot that is quickly becoming a favorite place to shoot: SpringBrook Nature Center. Gorgeous light. Gorgeous family. Gorgeous trees! LOVED IT. Sneak a peek at our cute little session below:
{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:
{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:
{L} Family + Nine Months
What can I say about little Leah… I mean, I’ve watched her grow up at every major milestone these last nine months. She is just toooooo cute for words. This big girl is crawling, chatting it up and loving life! As I was driving over to this location, it started POURRRRRING rain – but as soon as I arrived. The rain called it quits and we got the most perfect sunset/night out at this lagoon in Glenview. How gorgeouuuus is this light?!?! <3
