Sneak Peek of Baby "E"!

12 weeks old and still so tiny:) Mom and Grandma came together to help with little "E".
This age can be challenging as we are older than a newborn, but not yet sitting and holding our head up very well:) We pulled out all the stops and found that a cozy cream blanket was a great prop, along with laying on her side which I think "E" liked best! Mom has a fantastic profile...I am glad we got a few at the end with you and "E". I am working on the final edits and will post the gallery soon.
Thank you for a wonderful session! Here are my favorites!

Sneak Peek of Ms. "E"!

Ms. "E"  needed some headshots for an upcoming event...we woke up to rivers overflowing and streets under water! We waited for the rain to slow down and the sky to brighten up and managed to shoot inside early afternoon. While taking these, Ms. "E" gave me some very moody cool looks that I am sharing here. I added a vintage effect and she is just gorgeous! Ill add a few of the head shots later too so be sure to watch for more! Mrs. "D" I had a great time taking with you-we have to get together and soon!

Sneak Peek of Sweet Ms. "A"! 1 year old cake smash

I have certainly gotten my sweet baby girl fix this past month! from tutu's to pearls and rompers, we have had some wonderful sessions and so much fun! Ms. "A" was really tiny and had these enormous blue eyes! She looked like a tiny doll in her birthday hat and was pretty calm with the cake, aside from her feet:) Dad opted out of taking the leftovers home once the feet were all in! I can't thank you both enough for helping keep little "A" on the floor drop, and for helping with her smiles! I hope you enjoy the sneak peek...the gallery will post very soon!

Sneak peek of Graduating Senior "Z"!

We had THE most beautiful weather yesterday in downtown Naperville! "Z" was so easy to work with and was up for anything. I think she can hold her smile longer than I can hold the camera:) Mom- I really enjoyed talking with you  during the session! This is a quick sneak peek of the session. More to come in a week! Thank you for your patience. I'm looking forward to seeing you tomorrow!

Ok, I have to say I used to think how funny that companies solicited votes for the Best of  Naperville readers choice award-Yes, I guess I thought good things just "happened" on their own:) However a bit of reality has set in and I realize that I may need a little help to achieve this goal! If you love my work, please vote for me!

Please comment below if you are voting and your name will be placed in a drawing for a free mini holiday session and 25 cards custom designed! The winner will be contacted one month after the "best of" contest ends! Happy voting and please know that I could not do what I LOVE without you all!

Sneak Peek of Little "J"! Turning 1!

Last time I photographed baby "J" she was a sleepy bundle and about 10 days old:) Mom said that she was very active and on the move when we set up her 1 year session. Mom was right! "J" was a tiny ball of energy, and she so reminded me of my second son who was the exact same size at a year! I loved how she kept coming over to me and putting her head on my lap...totally got my baby fix today:) I wasn't sure if "J" would sit for the first part of our day, the cake smash...but she did really great, and yes got quite messy!
After a quick bath and a change of clothes we gave "J' a set of pearls and we pleasantly surprised that she stayed with them and really hammed it up! I did not know she could stand yet, and she stood  right up and smiled! Her eyes are naturally this amazing blue, no saturating or enhancing here...they are all hers! Mom, I know we totally surpassed our goal of "just one shot"...Ill be in touch soon so we can choose the images for her party!
