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:
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:
Sweeet Paige turned THREE last month… what the heck!? If you’ve been following my blog you’ll know that this peanut was born almost four months EARLY. 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

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:
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:
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
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:
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
This beautiful little family is growing by one this fall and this little man is ONE years old!!! <3 Lots of fun things ahead for this crew. I met up with this sweet (and amazingly funny/kind) family at at North Pond Sanctuary and had a blast hopping around the neighborhood with them. Absolutely precious. <3
