{Liam's Baptism} :: Chicago Family Event Photographer

Love has arrived in Chicago, and his name is Liam :) Seriously, what a sweet, happy and photogenic little dude. I connected with his family, and was invited to capture his Baptism celebration. There is nothing more incredible than sharing such moments with a wonderful family so full of love - and on top of all that we had a gorgeous day, and the setting was impeccible in a beautiful backyard. Congratulations on your Christening, Liam! You are a lucky boy to have a family that loves you so much!

{Happy Birthday Kade!} : : Chicago Event Photographer

Sunday was a glorious Spring day, and a perfect day for a Birthday Party at Family Grounds Cafe for sweet Kade! The food looked delicious, kids young and old had a great time playing and there was even a proclamation that "this was the BEST birthday party EVER!" Thank you so much, Kira and Brady, for including me in such a joyous celebration!

{Kelly & Tim} Chicago Event Photographer

Kelly's parents held a beautiful cocktail reception in celebration of Kelly & Tim's nuptials back in October. It was held at the Park Hyatt, and it was a magnificently fun party on the Magnificent Mile! I had an amazing time photographing the event - the mood was fun and light, the food smelled amazing and the event room was sexy, chic and almost as gorgeous as the bride herself. Pat & Jim, thank you for inviting me to celebrate with your family!

{Aurelia's First Birthday!}

One of my FAVORITE things to photograph is a baby's first birthday party! It is such a fun celebration, and so much love and work goes into creating a great event to share with friends and family. This weekend I was able to do just that for little Miss Aurelia! We had an absolutely gorgeous day, topped off with beautiful decorations, delicious food, and fantastic company. Thank you so much to Mom & Dad for inviting me over to capture an amazing milestone for a sweet little girl :) HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

{Phil Sneak Peak}

I had the pleasure of photographing a "Well Wishing - Good Luck" party for a very cool dude yesterday night. Phil Doran was the Man of the Hour, and as you can see below......he is VERY well loved by his co-workers, friends and family :) He's the dashing man in the Cubbies Jersey. Here are a few highlights from the evening.






I'll be compiling a scrapbook from the nights events as well - there are a TON of great photos to choose from! Best of Luck to you Phil! I hope things transition smoothly to your new home at Misericordia :)
