The sweetest little boy...

JMK (just my kids!)

2011-02-24T18:06:00.004-06:00

While I had my studio all set up and ready to go for baby Milana I decided to get some more recent ones of my kids as well. I always seem to have a much harder time getting my kids to cooperate! But I think our mini-shoot was successful. :)

Tiny Baby Milana

2011-02-24T18:03:00.003-06:00

We had such a hard time getting any smiles from this little girl. She liked giving us raspberries instead. :) Here's a few of my favorites from the session.

The Gagne Family

2011-01-05T13:22:00.002-06:00

I was so excited that I was able to photograph the entire family this time! They live so far away that it's usually only one or two kids at a time. :) We did a maternity shoot, 2 year old portraits, 7 year old portraits and a few family shots. I'm looking forward to the newest member of the family to be born... I just love little babies. Plus they can't run away! lol Here's a few of my favorites from Saturday.

End of the Year Favorites

2010-12-29T13:12:00.000-06:00

I didn't do so well with updating my blog this fall... sorry! Here's a few of my favorites from September- December.

2010 Holiday Mini Sessions!

2010-09-04T08:01:00.000-05:00

The T Family

2010-09-01T07:55:00.000-05:00

The W boys again!

2010-08-22T07:51:00.000-05:00

I just love these three boys. They are wonderful to work with and so CUTE! Can't believe the baby is one year old already!

E's 4 yr photos

2010-08-02T14:30:00.000-05:00

She's just so cute! Can't get enough of her. :) And she was actually cooperative today!

My little girl and a friend

2010-07-13T18:34:00.004-05:00

My little Elaina is growing up! She looks a little like a cheerleader doesn't she? :) And look at baby M, getting so big! Love the curls.

The C Family

2010-07-13T18:30:00.001-05:00

Aren't they just so cute? The poor little girl didn't like what we were doing to her... some of the pictures didn't go as planned! :)

The I Family

2010-07-01T18:27:00.000-05:00

The I family is wonderful. It's always challenging when you have two children under the age of two, but I think we did pretty good! Such cuties.

The V Wedding

2010-06-15T18:18:00.001-05:00

The V Wedding was a lot of fun! Such a happy couple everything at the wedding was earth friendly.The cakes and the wine were homemade and were awesome, soooo yummy!

Cub Scouts Wolf Den

2010-05-16T12:08:00.001-05:00

Yesterday I had the pleasure of photographing my son's Cub Scout Den. At least I think it's called a den. I get it confused a lot. :) Pack, den... whatever. lol Either way, we have some handsome boys!

The W boys...

2010-05-01T20:24:00.000-05:00

what a handsome set of brothers! And such good little models. I've been blessed to watch them grow up and become handsome young men. :)

Engagement!

2010-04-07T20:22:00.003-05:00

such a cute and fun loving couple! I'm so honored to be photographing their wedding in the fall!

B and A sisters

2010-03-12T08:33:00.002-06:00

such pretty little girl. 5 year old B LOVES to model for me! :)

beautiful pregnant A

2010-03-12T08:31:00.001-06:00

isn't she just beautiful? I think all women hope to have her body while 9 months pregnant.

3 month H, 19 month A

2010-02-28T08:28:00.000-06:00

such cute siblings. Not really sure how mom and dad handle a 3 month old and a 19 month old, but I guess the last picture tells a story of it's own! :)

baby C, 6 months

2010-02-10T08:27:00.000-06:00

he is so adorable! Just look at those cheeks. :) Such a good little boy for his pictures.

1 year old H

2010-01-26T08:24:00.000-06:00

He's ONE!

Remember him from last year? I am honored to get to watch all these babies turn into toddlers! Look how much he's grown!

after his "smash the cake" session :)

Freezing Fog

2010-01-17T12:54:00.001-06:00

new baby H!

2009-12-01T08:22:00.002-06:00

cute little baby H! I just love him, this was probably the only moment during the whole shoot that he wasn't crying. :)

Some of the Latest...

2009-11-01T17:23:00.006-06:00

Created by Laura

2009-09-20T11:50:00.000-05:00

I had the pleasure to photograph my friend Laura's jewelry and children's hair bows. She does an awesome job! You can find more of her things here: http://www.createdbylaura.com/

Kim and Joe

2009-09-15T20:56:00.000-05:00

My step-sis and new brother-in-law! Aren't they cute?

my baby is 3!

2009-09-08T20:51:00.000-05:00

time has just flown by and my little girl is growing up! She's got quite the personality.

Baby W

2009-08-20T17:47:00.003-05:00

this little boy was a photographer's dream! Slept through the whole session and curled up very nicely. :) Such a big cuddly boy! And his brothers were great too.

Baby A is one!

2009-07-23T13:46:00.003-05:00

I've had the pleasure of photographing baby A since she was still in her mommy's tummy! We did a maternity session, newborn, 3 month, 6 month, 9 month and now her one year. And can you believe she'll be a big sister around Thanksgiving?

Family

2009-07-05T19:55:00.000-05:00

we had some relatives in town so my kids had some cousins to play with! I took their family pictures while they were here.

this one has to be one of my favorites!

beautiful T finally arrived!

2009-06-15T19:51:00.000-05:00

She such a beautiful baby and so much hair! Love it!

Cantigny Park

2009-05-30T19:47:00.000-05:00

Met up with a group of friends out at Cantigny Park and had a good time taking some family pictures of them. Such a fun time, although 8 kids is a lot to handle... even with 5 adults! :)

beautiful 3 day old M

2009-05-14T05:34:00.001-05:00

such a sweatheart! Even though she cried... ALOT. lol The only pose she actually liked was in the cocoon. Can't blame her!

Maternity session

2009-05-04T05:32:00.000-05:00

this was fun! I love those beautiful pregnant bellies!

H family

2009-05-03T05:28:00.002-05:00

These guys were great! The 2 yr olds were a little shy, but warmed up eventually!

1 yr old C

2009-04-20T20:27:00.003-05:00

I took C's newborn pictures one year ago, boy has he gotten big!

and their whole family!

another beautiful neighbor family!

2009-04-20T20:24:00.002-05:00

Well, the title just says it all!

my family

2009-04-12T20:22:00.001-05:00

It's always hard, as a photographer, to take decent pictures of your own family. I think I finally got a few!

cutie M

2009-04-11T20:20:00.003-05:00

this young beauty is my neighbor. She has the best eyes!

N's maternity

2009-04-10T20:16:00.001-05:00

I had the wonderful experience of taking this couples engagement pictures, then photographing their wedding, and now their pregnancy photos! I can't wait for this little one to be born, s/he is sure to be a cutie!

A's nine month pics

2009-04-05T19:52:00.000-05:00

I've loved watching this little girl grow and learn. Especially how she's learned stranger anxiety! lol Her Uncle K is back from Iraq and she had fun playing with his hat. :)

family B

2009-04-04T19:50:00.000-05:00

C and G's cousins were also at our photoshoot. Little M just turned 2 so we took some pics with her and her brothers.

C and G

2009-04-04T19:42:00.001-05:00

We had C and G's birthday pictures today! I cannot believe how big they are getting. C is 12 and G is 4. Aren't they pretty?

Brothers

2009-03-27T21:05:00.002-05:00

brother's A and B were quite a handful! Actually, the studio set up scared the little guy, so we ended up taking it outside. At least it was nice and I had such handsome boys!

Hat Model A

2009-03-12T19:13:00.004-05:00

Little A helped us model some hats on Sunday. She was a good sport but didn't really enjoy the camera. :)

you can find these hats, headbands and clips for sale at http://laurasjewelry.etsy.com/

Sisters B and A

2009-03-07T19:09:00.001-06:00

I’ve had the privilege to take this baby girl’s pictures since she was only a few weeks old! She just turned one! Happy Birthday A! And big sister B is such a little princess isn’t she?

Newborn H

2009-02-06T18:31:00.006-06:00

Little H was so adorable! Only 1 week old, and a very good baby. Don't you just want to kiss this little face?

my big 7 year old baby!

2009-01-24T22:54:00.007-06:00

Wow has he grown so big! When did he become such a little man?

6 month old A

2009-01-19T22:44:00.000-06:00

What a happy little girl! She was so much fun to photograph, even though she was sick. You'd never know it from the smiles she gave me!

the G girls

2008-12-14T18:49:00.007-06:00

Today we did Mrs. G's maternity pics! It was so fun, but I'm VERY jealous of how skinny she is at 32 weeks. :) We also did little G's 5 yr pics today, but I haven't gotten that far yet... more to come!

Little L

2008-12-04T19:23:00.002-06:00

This little guy was so much fun! What a ham! Thanks for letting me take your picture little L!

P family

2008-12-04T19:09:00.003-06:00

I had the opportunity to take these beautiful girls' family picture recently. Such a great family!

Sisters D and G

2008-11-23T19:59:00.001-06:00

These two girls were wonderful to work with! Such great models for me. Hopefully their mom is as happy with these photos as I am!

My Christmas pics

Portrait Party pics

2008-11-02T19:54:00.000-06:00

The portrait party didn't have a very big turn out, just one neighbor family and my in-laws. It was still nice and I had fun doing it!

Dotson Hanrahan Wedding

2008-10-21T08:19:00.003-05:00

C and G

2008-10-12T19:13:00.004-05:00

This was an interesting session... one word? Bugspray!!! Evening in the forest preserve is a good way to get West Nile LOL Here's a sneak peek!

Portrait Party!!!

2008-10-12T09:29:00.002-05:00

Join us for a portrait party!

A's fall pictures

2008-10-06T20:33:00.006-05:00

I took A's fall pictures Sunday, the colors are beautiful right now and I think they turned out awesome!

vineyard harvest

2008-09-05T20:26:00.004-05:00

notice the eating of the grapes? :)

my big 2 year old!

2008-09-05T20:22:00.002-05:00

Just have to show off my little girl!

6 month old G

2008-08-27T18:26:00.002-05:00

isn't this little girl just adorable?

The Vineyard

2008-08-17T10:21:00.003-05:00

My dad has a vineyard, planted a year ago. So these are the first real clusters of grapes he's had! I've had fun documenting it.

This one was taken in May this year.

These were taken Friday, August 15.

Niece S

2008-08-11T19:24:00.004-05:00

I had the opportunity to take my niece's 7 year old pictures over the weekend. She's getting so big! Had to throw in one of her little sister L and one of my son A.

My daughter E

2008-08-10T10:01:00.004-05:00

well, who knew it would be so hard to photograph your own child? Here's the first attempt at her 2 year old pictures. I'm sure there will be more to come!

Newborn A

2008-07-30T20:37:00.003-05:00

I had the pleasure of photographing little newborn A. She's 2.5 weeks old and such a doll. Of course she peed on all my blankets and paper, but I guess that's par for the course when you have an infant naked!

3 yr old L

2008-07-20T16:56:00.003-05:00

L will be 3 next month and we decided to do some pictures today! Isn't he a cutie?

my little project

2008-07-20T16:10:00.003-05:00

I finally found some flowers I can grow and not kill! so i decided once they had flower buds I'd take a picture of it every day (sometimes twice a day) until it was fully bloomed! I'll add to this post as it goes on. Here's the start!

siblings B and A

2008-07-14T21:14:00.003-05:00

B and A were so fun to photograph! Very photogenic girls and fun to work with. Here's a few!

Baby L

2008-07-07T21:26:00.004-05:00

today I was able to take Baby L's 9 month pictures. I just love his chubby cheeks!

and his pretty big sister...

Auntie B

2008-07-04T21:32:00.003-05:00

today, as a birthday present for my sister, we did a photoshoot of her with my 2 kiddos. I'm still working on fill flash, not sure I got it all right or not, but I do think it's improving. Here's a few, over by our pretty pond again!

The G family shoot

2008-06-28T21:52:00.000-05:00

Today I had a photo session with a wonderful family that are friends of mine. We had some harsh conditions to deal with, strong winds blowing hair in faces, harsh sun casting terrible shadows, an almost 2 year old who ONLY wanted daddy. :) I think it turned out pretty well considering all our factors.

Welcome!

2008-06-26T19:00:00.001-05:00

Welcome to my Blog! I'll be posting about my photography hobby to include recent photo sessions and anything new or interesting I learn. Thanks for looking! Here's my sweet-ums E, just to get things started.
