{Lily M.}

Although Spring is so close to springing here in Chicagoland, it is still a bit too drab to shoot outside. Thankfully, little Miss Lily brought all the Spring, flowers and sunshine we needed inside with her big smile and cute little dress! Lily is one year old, and every bit a sweet little girl. Thanks to Mom & Dad for inviting me in their home to capture her on film, and for popping in for a few photos, too.

{Bobby C.}

More one year old madness! Bobby is such a sweet little man, with a dimple & baby blues that will melt anyone into a big, pile of goo. Seriously. He was full of smiles and laughs and loved dancing around to the music :) Definitely made for a fun morning for me! Happy Birthday Bobby!!







And, my favorite part of his outfit......these AWESOME kicks!

{Audrey}

Sugar and spice and everything nice - that's what Audrey is made of :) This little girl was so sweet and SUCH a trooper, despite a crazy morning! You'd never know it by these photos, but she was a teensy bit afraid of the camera (who wouldn't be afraid of a big black box being shoved in your face!?!) but once she warmed up she was ready to ham it up! And, she so loved her two lovies, Miss Carrots and Stinky Bear :) Ahhh - I adore kiddos and their lovies!!! I also enjoy getting my fill of frills and flowers and pink...because its cars and boy stuff most of the time in our household. Here's Audrey!

{Wil}

Brrrr....what a chilly and craptastic day :( I can't wait for this weather to break so I can do more photographing outside. The next best thing to shooting outdoors, though, is shooting in the Garfield Park Conservatory! I had the privilege of photographing the Wonderful Mr. Wil and his Fabulous Parents this weekend. Wil is such an amazing little guy - not only adorable, but a whiz at signing too :) Here's a little sneak peek for you!

{Madeline}

Happy One Year Birthday to a very sweet friend, Madeline! She's such a little doll, and the happiest baby around....until the dreaded teeth start coming in (cue menacing music. Dum dum duuuuummmmmm). We caught quite a few good shots **including my favorite dad shot EVER - see the last pic**, but we'll continue our casual session at a later date when Miss Maddy is feeling more like herself :)

{Ellie & Grover}

What a fun afternoon with Miss Ellie and Grover! These photos were taken especially for Valentine's Day, and there was a whole lot of love between this girl and her pal. Could they BE any sweeter?

{Liam Valentine's Day}

Sometimes toddlers are cooperative....most times they are not, especially when we have big plans! As was the case for Liam's first photo shoot. I wasn't pleased with the results. So, a few days later I tried again and succeeded! The sugar laden lollipop probably helped my chances :)
