{Elijah M.}

This little man has a special place in my heart - not just because he's so very handsome and smiley (which he is), but because he's family (les quiero mucho primos!) :) I was so very excited to photograph and document his official "Hey - I've been alive One Year!" portraits. We headed to the Chicago Botanic Gardens and had a nice time enjoying the sunshine, foliage and a nice picnic before the evening was through. Thank you for all the sweetness, Elijah!

{Bella & Luke}

I have a treat for you all today :) I just couldn't decide which ones to show, so a super sized sneak peek it is! Featuring not only an adorable little girl (Miss Bella is almost TWO years old) but also her fuzzy little pal. Well, Luke isn't so little (170 pounds! EGADS!) but he certainly is sweet and fuzzy. It was a warm and humid day, and I had a fabulous time following these two around and soaking up the cuteness. Enjoy!

{Lipinsky Family}

What an AMAZING afternoon we had on Sunday to take family portraits. I traveled to the north western 'burbs to hang out with a pretty darn cool family that hadn't taken a family portrait in 10 years! YOWZA! Eight adults and six kids: and every single one of them were cooperative and beautiful - makes my job pretty easy. Thank you, Lipinsky clan, for letting me spend that lovely time with you!
