Addy

Addy just turned one. We had so much fun in Port Barrington. Mom brought a ton of great outfits. Addy was all smiles all day.

Love these!

Don't usually show to many Black/White but I just love this one.

Benny

Benny just turned one. He was on the go and go and go. I loved this first outfit. The green really pops. Love a tire swing. I wish I had one.


I love this one. It maybe a bit fuzzy but it really says something about the moment they were sharing. Benny loves fish and Dad loves fishing. They combined a bit of both with this one.

Lauren & Tom Wedding - Crystal Lake

Lauren and Tom's day was just perfect! We had so much fun wandering around Downtown Crystal Lake. These two were all smiles, giggles, and kisses all day. Tom just kept dipping Lauren and chance he got.
Alright I know I went overboard but we had so much fun.
Here are just a few details.

Mum Floral did such an amazing job on the flowers.. Peonies my favorite!
Getting ready and the ceremony.

Tom & Lauren were so excited about the vintage car. It was so cool.
Here come the gorgeous couple. I love this first one. I am a sucker for the kiss in the veil!

Lastly the reception.

Congratulations!

Samantha -- Senior Session

Samantha is an amazing girl and graduating this week. We had a great time roaming around her neighborhood. She is gorgeous! Here are just a few of my favorites.




Congratulations Samantha!

Kriste Maternity - Chicago Lake front

I met up with Kriste and Kevin aka K-Becks at the Lake front for an amazing maternity session. It started off a bit chilly but shaped up into a great day. These two are so in love and baby K JR is one lucky little boy.
I can't wait to meet him later next month.

One hot mama! and the man that loves her.


Some fun with shadows!

Tonya & John -- Engagement Session

I met up with Tonya & John at her apartment in Chicago. John is stationed in Florida so he was visiting for the weekend. As soon as I pulled off the expressway the rain started to fall in buckets. Tonya assured me it wasn't raining at her home. So I contimued. Sure enough. The sun was shining at her house.
We got out and did some great shots near the high school John attended.
These two are all smiles and giggles. And so in love.


After these we went in for a costume change. Once we got inside.. the sky went balck, it hailed, it rained. Rain Delay! We chatted, check out outfits.
Then the sky opened up to beautiful blue skies but freezing!
We ventured out to Wrigley Field.


Lastly to the lake... Breezy and definitely cooler by the lake. These two were real troopers. I had on a sweater, coat, gloves, and a hat.. They had on t-shirts.
But they look gorgeous!

love love love

Can't wait for your wedding this September!

Carson Turns One

Wow! I can't believe Carson is turning one.
This was his last session in the baby's first year package.
What fun we have had over the year.
Here are just a few from a life of Carson.
I first met Carson when he was only 3 months old.
Mom had wanted to surprise his Dad with photos for his birthday.
This little guy was full of fun expressions and outfits.

3 months later we met up again at Tom's farm for a bit of fall fun.
Love his great smile! Check out those 2 teeth. Adorable.

Then at 9 months.. it was brrr. cold so we stayed indoors.
Just hanging out with Mom and Dad.

At Christmas he stopped by for a holiday photo with his cousin Chloe.
These two are to cute for words!

Now he is one! Walking, blabbing, and still has the best smile!




Happy Birthday Carson! I hope you come and visit again soon.

Meghan

Meghan is now 3 months older, sitting a little better but just as cute.
We met out in Port Barrington for some fun.
I love these tall grasses!

These are both a little mysterious.

Getting ready to walk soon.

I just love this one. Melia's eyes are amazing.

Abby - Senior Photos

Wow! Can I say that again. Wow! Abby did an amazing job on her senior photo session. She tapped into her inner model and worked it. I love every shot I took but here are just a few. She is truly gorgeous.


She should be in the Jcrew catalog. The next one looks like we are in Africa.

"S" Family

I met these 2 great boys, Miles and Ethan, at my Cary location. We went on an adventure, checking everything out. It was fun to just pal around and get some great photos.
I love this first photo. Ethan's eyes just pop.

Miles and brothers

Look at happy mom is to be surrounded by her boys.
