Dylan turns one with big sister Emma

Emma and Dylan met up with me at my new location. Finally warm enough for some great outdoor session!
I love this place. There is so many places to go.
Dylan is celebrating his first birthday so mom brought balloons, cake, and big sister to help celebrate.

This is one happy little guy.


I just love the frosting goatee. mmmm.

Here comes big sister Emma.
Love these!

Marisa's Bat Mitzvah

Happy Birthday Marisa! This was my first big event of the season. What a great way to start out. The ceremony was moving. The kids were fun. Marisa rocked it on the drums. Plus there was a candy bar! So many great photos opportunities.
Love love love these. She looks like a model. Gorgeous.

A few of the ceremony. Their Rabbi was great. He told jokes, rocked the guitar and made this one great celebration. Marisa did an amazing job, too. Her speak was so eloquent, she was poised, and her Hebrew impeccable.

Details. Candy and Music. A girl after my own heart.

Here comes the party! The Rabbi said this was the most important part of the day. To celebrate Marisa and her accomplishment. I think these kids did a great job doing that.

and lastly a couple of formals.

Emmett

Emmett is super hip, super modern. Plus almost walking. This guy is ready to move move move.
I love their dining room. This table and mirrors made for the perfect backdrop.


We made a trip to Downtown Woodstock. I am so glad we did.
This brick wall is dreamy.

Leala & Ella

Leala and Ella are back and 3 months older! Leala is just starting to sit up alone. She has the cutest little tripod. Plus huge squeezable cheeks!
What a cutie.

I just found this great Bassinet. It is so cool. I couldn't wait to try it out.
Either could Leala's mom.

Mom wanted one "thumbsucker" shot. Adorable.

Here is big sister Ella. She braved the cold for this first one.
Stunning in the second.

Griffin Turns one!

Griffin is back and turning one! This little guy loves golf, the Cubs, and moving around. He is on the verge of walking and can't wait to get there.
Mom also loves this fabric.
It was a special request since she has it on her throw pillows.

We braved the early morning golfers and got out on the green.

Uh oh! Sand trap.

Newest Location and Family session

Here are a few test shots from my newest and favorite location. There are so many things to play with. I can't wait for the trees to fill in. It is going to be amazing come summer time. This gave me a chance to get a much needed family photo. This was a task in itself. Set up camera, push button. Run! I wish I had another camera because Miles was pretending to be me.. smiling behind the camera and pressing the button. Too cute.
Here are few of my favorites. Remember you can request this location if you love it as much as I do.

Twin Cuties!

Rachel and Allison are two cute for words. I love that they are so different. Each has their own personalities and looks. But both have one thing in common they are adorable!

arm and arm.

toe to toe.



a little snuggle and a fabulous family!
