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
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:
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:
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

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
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:
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
Awwwh little Mac is NINE Months – but quite possibly looking a lot older than 12 months. Little man is almost standing on his own and ready to move and groove – awayyyyyy from me. Ha. Loved capturing this little man’s milestone at one of my favorite spots in Schaumburg. A mix of serious and sweet, he rocked it. <3
Earlier this week, I met up with a few other Chicago photographers at Montrose Beach for a headshot shoot out! My shootout partner, Jenna Marie Photography straight up ROCKED it. Isn't she…
“A baby will make love stronger, days shorter, nights longer, bankroll smaller, home happier, clothes shabbier, the past forgotten, and the future worth living for. ” Alllll this and more. Sweet {S} graced the world with her presence on Friday, June 6 and I am pretty sure rocked these new parents worlds. The outpouring of emotion they have when they look at her… gaaah! <3 Love it. So honored to capture sweet 5lb 7 oz {S} just 7 days news. Enjoy all these moments – they’ll fly right on by!!! Congratulations!!!
