{M} Family // 6 Month Milestone
A little girl can be sweeter (and badder) oftener than anyone else in the world. she can jitter around, and stomp, and make funny noises that frazzle your nerves…

"We are not only deeply in love with each other, we are just so in love with the family we worked really hard on creating. " I mean... if that isn't…

{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:
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:
