The Squishiest Baby Ever {newborn portraits, Lindenhurst, IL}

Would you believe it if I said that I actually did Mama’s senior pictures several years ago??  And now she’s a beautiful mommy to a beautiful little girl.  A tiny, itty bitty scrap of a thing that was an absolute angel the entire session.  I’m not kidding.  I think I heard her squawk once for about two seconds.  I didn’t even really have to break out my patented “get this baby to sleep and fast!” move!

I’ve been wanting to try some shots like this for a while now, and am so happy I had the opportunity to do so with this family.  They turned out even better than I envisioned them!

Without further ado, I give you, Baby A…

Thanks, Carley & Todd, for letting me play & for trusting me with the memories of your brand new baby girl!

Until next time,

G Family {family portraits, Kenosha WI}

I’ve been lucky enough to photograph this family more times than I can count.  It’s always such a pleasure to watch the kids grow, especially when I’ve photographed them at only weeks only, and now they can talk and jump and giggle.Thank you, Melissa, for another wonderful session!  I look forward to continuing to watch your children grow!

Until next time,

Being Six

Have the cows come home? Are pigs flying? Has hell frozen over?  Apparently, because you see right.  This is an actual, real live blog post.  I know; I’m shocked, too!  So, you’re probably asking yourself what in the world is going on, right?

Here’s the sitch: I’ve been a bad, bad blogger.  And I said to myself, “Self, what will make you blog again?”  And, of course, my answer was, “A brand spankin’ new and pretty blog should do it!” So, six months of researching and two months of designing & preparing…and here we are. With a brand spankin’ new and pretty blog.  That I plan (read: hope) to update with frequency.  Of course, I say that right before I have my yearly time off, but I plan to play catch up with sessions that have taken place earlier this year and show you a little bit about what I’ve been up to for the last eighteen months (yes, it’s really been that long since I’ve blogged).

Which leads me to the main reason for this post!  This wasn’t the first time I’ve photographed this family, and this session was just as fun as the last one.  One thing I love about working with this family is that the little boy is within days of Blake’s age, so I just know exactly what to talk to him about.  He was into adventures, and boy did I send him on one.  Lots of different areas to explore here, and he had a blast.

Thank you to the “G” family for trusting me with their family memories once again.  It was a pleasure, as always, to capture them for you!
