This was quite a Saturday morning. So I got up that morning, still feeling a bit rocky from my Bronchitis. My shoot was at 8 a.m., Molly had to be at a birthday party at 9:30 a.m., my husband was out of town, and the “check engine” light on my van came on when I...

Senior 2013 Sneak Peek
Met a lovely senior this evening with the prettiest blue eyes I’ve ever seen. I bet you will agree.
Squeezy Sneak Peek
I know it’s been quiet for a few days. I was on a roll with my Chicago sessions. Unfortunately, Molly picked up her annual First Week of School Cold and promptly gave it to me, which turned into bronchitis, which kicked in the day my husband went out of town for a few days, and...
Chicagoland 2012 – Session 6

Sunday Evening Sneak Peek
Saw three cute boys tonight…one was movie star handsome, one was snuggly and cuddly, and the other was…well…he was…just plain ol’ happy… ;)
Chicagoland 2012 – Session 3
If you have followed my work over the years, you know these sisters. I have seen them several times, and they just get prettier each year.
