Hudson - One Year

This family is a familiar one to this page. - I love love love seeing these guys every year. I am always so shocked at how big the boys get every time. The are turning into little men right before my eyes.
Hudson loved his cake and enjoyed playing ball with his toys with his big bro <3

Emily - Lifestyle Newborn

What a year its been so far! WOW!
I can’t believe im just now getting to blog some sessions/weddings from the first half of the year.

I wanted to start with one of my first newborn sessions of the year!

Emily was a peach for her newborn session. She didn’t make a peep. Except when she tried to bite me mid session. She was over my shenanigans. But I mean she was SO adorable I couldn’t stopppp. Her cheeks were just SO squishy.
Her mom and dad are completely and utterly in love with her. <3

Jones Family - Lifestyle Session

Jennifer contacted me wanting family photos in their backyard, and I got all excited! I love when clients want to incorporate their homes and their hard work. And let me tell you. This front & back yard is AMAZING! I give props to Mr Jones over there… I can barley keep a spider plant alive and they are supposed to be “unkill-able” BET.
This is one of my favorite sessions!

Sarah, David & Barrett

I love this family. SO much! Sarah & David were a past wedding couple, and capturing their little mans milestones makes me feel more honored than anything!
This was such a fun session! Barrett gave me a run for my money in the smiling department. The sun was perfect, this family is just perfect. SO glad I get to continue seeing these guys. <3


Mothers Day Mini's - Added Day!

I had my first round of mothers day minis at Johnsons Farm Thursday & Friday!
I forgot how much I missed shooting and how much I love flowers and plants…

This was so fun! I want to open up another day of minis! Like 2-4 sessions in the next couple of weeks!

Reeb Family

The Reeb family is near and dear to my heart. I got to know Bridget and Tom at all of our mutual Sandy Pines weddings over the last couple of years. They. are. the sweetest!
Bridget and Tom were also our DJ’s for our wedding last May. Everyone had such a good time and complimented me for days on how awesome our DJ’s were! If I could relive that night over and over again I would. <3
I loved finally getting to meet their boys! They have such awesome personalities and they are just like their parents.

Fletcher - Fresh 48 & Lifestyle Newborn

I wasn’t kidding when I said A LOT of babies were born so far this year! Fletcher is by far, the only baby I have ever met that had better facial expressions than me! From his fresh 48 to his sweet lifestyle session! Its been so amazing to spend time with these three as much as I have! Lynn & Gage are the sweetest people. I dont want to see this little guy grow up!

Schrock Family - North Ave Beach

Oh the Schrock family. Was SO excited t o meet these guys. Little miss over here gave me a run for my money. Not many smiles were given, but I earned every single one she gave me! I absolutely love North Ave beach in the summer and fall months. Not many people around, and the scenery is just beautiful. Its one of my favorite locations in Chicago, when I do get out that way. Im really sad its winter, I won’t get to see this beach again until summer :(

Family Session Dates

Wedding season is quickly approaching and I have slim to nothing as far as open session dates for family sessions. I LOVE these family sessions, so if you have an open day during the week, and the kids dont have any sport practice or you dont have to work late. Book a session! I want to be able to pack as many sessions into summer and fall as I can. Weddings aren’t the only thing I do ;)

Kasey & Jim - Family Session

I literally squealed the day of Kasey and Jim’s family session, because it snowed! I never dreamed I would love a snow session as much as theirs… Taltree was the perfect location too! It was very hard to stop snapping at the end of their session. It was beautiful! <3

Amber, Matt, & Finley

I always squeal when Amber contacts me for photos, because, well don’t you have eyes!!? Look at this adorable family. Finley always gives me a run for my money and will very rarely look at me and smile. Which is fine! I prefer just to chase her around and get her looking at the flowers and her sweet cuddles on her parents. <3

Weiler Family

Sometimes you meet a family and everything just clicks. I have photographed the Weiler family a few times now, and every time I see those adorable girls they seem to get bigger and even more beautiful. This time we added a few more family members, which made a perfect beach family session. I don't get too many extend family sessions on the beach, but when I do I jump for joy. The sunset that night did not disappoint either. It was so clear you could see Chicago right across the lake. 

Chamber's Family

Oh Wendy and Andy. I have watched you grow from a family of two, to now a family of four. I loved this session. Everything about it. From watching Amelia give her baby brother kisses, getting flipped upside down by her dad, and eating puffs as bribery for photos. 
Lifestyle family sessions are hands down my favorite. <3

Rachael & Jaxon

This girl right here is one of my favorite people. Her and Jaxon have had a few sessions with me now. Not only that, she's my second shooter for some weddings this year :) I absolutely adore her and her boy. These are some of my favorite pictures. I am so happy Ryan was able to join us for them too!!
