We had our work cut out for us this day. This sesssion had been on the calendar for months, and with all the rotten weather we’ve had in October, I was a bit panicked about whether or not we’d actually see it come to fruition. After all, finding a date that eleven people would have...

Fall Sneak Peek
It was a gorgeous fall day for this session…one of the few we’ve had recently. These two provided all the sunshine we needed though!
Misty
Sigh.
As the fall season is winding down and our time in Chicagoland is soon drawing to a close, I get a little misty thinking about all the special people I have met over the past few years and knowing that I’ll have to watch them grow and change from afar. I so look forward to...
Eleven
My baby turned 11 last month, and I have been so busy with clients and she has been so busy hanging out with friends and being 11, that we didn’t get around to taking her 11-year photos until this week. We miraculously snagged a couple nice days for them, which is hard to find in late...
Blue candy
I’ve always been drawn to blue candy. Blue M&Ms, blue pixie sticks, blue sweet tarts. Blue candy just seems to taste better. I think that is partly why I’m so drawn to this family…look at those blue eyes! Wow. Future boyfriends and girlfriends of these kiddos beware…you will be putty in their hands.
A bevy of sneak peaks
This has been a busy month for me! Here is just a sampling of who I got to play with this past weekend.
oh the weather outside was frightful…
Don’t let the sunshine fool you…this session was cold. It was in the low to mid 30s when we started out and it took awhile to get my hands to thaw out afterwards. We kept the blankets and coats handy and ready between shots. Nothing a little Starbucks on the ride home couldn’t cure. That...
Windy
We had one of those crazy, windy Chicago days for this session. I was sure we were going to have a Mary Poppins moment but fortunately everyone stayed grounded. It was beautiful though, and so was this family. They are true nature lovers and it was nice to explore the great outdoors (no matter how windblown...
In the moment
This was such a FUN session! Everyone brought their game with them, and they were so relaxed and silly and comfortable and I had such a good time capturing that. I really think that is what makes a session successful. It’s not about the right smile or the hair or the cute clothes or the location. It’s about...
Sneaking in another peek
My second session today. I had to show off these gorgeous blue-eyed kiddos. They deserve it, as cold as it was! Wooo!
On a side note, I will be out of the office for a few days and will have limited email access. We sold our house (woohoo!) and I have to head south to buy another one...
