Sneak Peek of "J" turning 3!

| 0 comments
Photographing my own family can be a hard thing to do! Timing, availability etc. It is always a challenge. Knowing that my niece had just turned 3, and my Mom had her in Wheaton, the same day I was shooting near by, I sent a quick text, and was so happy they showed up right when I finished! Little Ms. "J" is my brothers daughter and is so stinking cute. She was a great listener, and very playful....she looks just like her Mom is some too! I loved all her expressions, and had the most fun tickling her! "J" has a way of squinching up her nose and looking at the sky when she smiles, so getting straight on smiles has been tough! The very next day at her party, I was in the house having pizza and she ran in with a big smile and said "Here you are! I was looking all over for you"! I guess she had a great time too! Enjoy the pictures...Aunt Carol

I love trying out new locations, and was so happy that Mrs. "Z" suggested this cute park in Wheaton! Little "K" was adorable in her mint and navy dress....I havent seen her since she was a chubby bundle! We had plenty of great spots to work with, and I literally fell in love with the baby and how she looked on this cream bench:) Looks straight out of a magazine! Thank you for working with me the whole time to get Ms. "K" to smile and stay safe while exploring! I had a great time working with you! I have perepared a sneak peek, and am working on the gallery.

Sneak Peek of ATI, Vandenberg and Trace Ambulance!

| 0 comments
What a change of scenery...from families and babies to photographing one of Chicago's largest ambulance companies:) I  worked with ATG (ATI, Vandenberg and Trace Ambulance) and had so much fun photographing their new Critical Care Vehicles a couple of weeks ago! It was one of the first really hot summer days, and we found a great spot in front of US Cellular field to take pictures. The crews were fantastic to work with and really cooperated....and best of all no one asked why we were blocking off the street!:) It is not so easy to perfectly line up vehicles and to find a location, so thank you for  being so accomodating ! I am super happy with the results and cant wait to see what goes on your site! Please share with the crews how great they all were!

Sneak Peek of Newborn "E"!

| 0 comments
I have gotten to know the "W" family quite well this year...first meeting big sister "I",  and then photographing the "bump" with Dad too:) Well baby "E' has arrived and is as cute as can be! Mom and Dad both have brown hair, while little "I" has beautiful really red hair...so when they arrived and "E" still had his hat on, I thought ok, they don't look alike:) Well...as soon as the hat came off, red hair- again! It is definitely in the genes, and these two are definitely going to look like siblings! Baby "E" was quite awake, for much of our time together, but once he finally fell asleep, he was super content, and smiling too:) Please enjoy the sneak peek, the gallery will post soon! I cant wait until they are old enough to photograph together.

Sneak Peek of Ms. "N"!

| 0 comments
After her sister's cake smash, Mom had asked me to take a few of her daughter...we just photographed her older son for Senior pics and wanted to get all the kiddos! Ms. "N" was super photogenic and natural in front of the camera, I was so wishing we were in Urban Naperville and that I literally had hours, brick walls, steps and alleyways to work with! Seriously...that face is georgeous. As an artist, I can tell you that we were in the zone, even on a rainy day, with a backdrop...all I can say is WOW. Mom already knows that Ill be forwarding her modeling links- hint hint:) Big brother too. Ill post your gallery soon. Enjoy the sneak peek!

Sneak peek of Miss "S" Cake Smash- turning 1!

| 0 comments
We have another "BIRTHDAY GIRL"! Miss "S" was a bit tentative at first, and I think was liking the candle more than the cake, but after a few small tastes she was all in! Big sister came along with grandma to watch...it was so cute to watch her show us her  "eyes" (the eyes squeezed tight shot below): Clapping and rubbing her belly- she was sooo covered in frosting at the end! I photographed her as a newborn and I am always so amazed at the changes these tiny ones go through in just a year! Sorry it took some time to get this posted! Big sis will post next. Enjoy the sneak peek, The gallery will be ready soon.
