Laura -- Baby on the way

Laura is from California so we decide to do our session at the beach. Unlike California it was about 40 degrees and super windy. She still looks gorgeous.

Sara-- Baby on the way

Love these two! We had so much fun talking. We decided to head over to the beach.. It was so windy! The waves were getting so big we had to stay away from the water but still got some amazing stuff. Loved these tall grasses.
These two are so in love!

ELizabeth

Look at this cutie little one.. I love newborns! so small, so cute, so snuggly.
Love this red pillow mom had!

Anne & Will

Met up with these two in Downtown Woodstock. I just love the old brick walls. Then we headed to search for frogs at the Bull Valley Sanctuary. These two were so much fun.. we threw some leaves.. walked in the grasses.. and learned all about plants from dad(a landscaper).

Jack, Austin, & Maddie

Love these 3. I met Maddie last year just after she was born. I can't believe how much she has grown over the year.. She brought along her brothers for some of the fun.

Trent, Travis, Ty, Tanner

Boys. boys. boys! Wow! 4 boys.. These guys did a great job. We ventured out to the Vintage spot in Cary.. perfect for boys who love to run.. Loved getting to know all their personalities!


All of them together!!

Lauren Senior - Class of 2011

Here is Lauren! We had so much fun. She was up for anything and had some great style!
We checked out LeRoy Oaks Forest Preserve in St.Charles.. Lauren runs here for cross country. What a gorgeous spot.. Then we went over to Fabyan Forest Preserve.
I wish it would of been a bit warmer but Lauren kept her cool.

Lindsay & Dan In Love

Lindsay and Dan are getting ready to say I do's.. They asked me to take a few shots of them before the big day.. These two are adorable.. I had so much fun with them.
It was a beautiful but cold morning.. I am wearing a coat, hat mittens.. These two are in shorts.. Looking gorgeous!

Ashliegh and Ava

These two cuties are back! We met up at Goebert's for a cold and windy day.. Poor little Ava, fell asleep. Ashleigh got a chance to get some hot coccoa.. so did I.

Meet up with these three at the RRR. We trampled the weeds and played some football.
Then it was time for naps for the little ones.
