fall fun | Chicago children’s photographer

was so excited to shoot my friend Julie’s family last fall (yes I am still playing catch-up over here!).  We’ve known each other since high school and it’s so fun that she lives closeby to me these days, and she has the most adorable family.  As our luck would have it, it was FREEZING the day…

sisters | Chicago children’s photographer

This is the second time I have photographed these two awesome girls.  They are both so full of personality that I pretty much spend the entire time just laughing when I’m shooting them.  SUCH a different experience for me since I’m used to my two boys running away from me and my camera.  The girls were jumping…

Party of 5 | Chicago family photographer

I just love doing shoots with my friend Denise and her ridiculously photogenic family.  These guys are the best.  They hop out of their car looking like they’ve jumped out of the J. Crew catalog, and are up for anything.  How about going outside in 40 degree weather?  Sure!  How about heading to some forest…

Mr. Personality | Chicago children’s photographer

Meet Jackson.  He’s my nephew.  Well, technically not really my nephew but my first cousin once removed or my second cousin, or something like that.  I can never figure that relationship out.  At any rate, he’s my cousin’s adorable kiddo and as far as our family is concerned they’re all nephews 🙂  Thus far in…
