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...
Brrrr….it’s a chilly sneak peek!
I think it was in the 30s this morning during this shoot, and this cute little pumpkin and her parents were such troopers! Stay warm, guys!
The Wonder Years
Ah, the joys of having a toddler. Or three toddlers. Or three toddlers and a 2-month-old. I got tired just typing that sentence.
But these little cousins were sooooo stinkin’ cute, it erased all my apprehension about how to keep up with that many speedy little legs. I mean, I was still worn out when I got...
Client Wall display
One of my clients sent me photos of her photo wall display from our session. I’m really digging the green wall with the white frames. And cute Halloween decorations! Fabulous.
If you are a client with a great photo wall display from our session, please send me some pictures of it! I love showcasing...
