Happy Birthday, Fiona! - Chicago newborn and child photographer

I moved to Chicago in 2010 for grad school and not long after, I began babysitting for an adorable little girl named Fiona. She was just learning to sit on her own and in the three years since meeting her, I have totally fallen in love with her and her amazing family. Fiona is the spunkiest and sweetest 3-year old I know, and am so glad I was able to join in her birthday celebration this year! Happy 3rd birthday, sweet girl!

Hello, Ricky!- Chicago Newborn Photographer

I have fallen a little behind on blogging, but I am so happy to finally be posting about this little cutie! Baby Ricky was really fighting sleep for the first hour of the session (like most of my tiniest clients like to do), but he never made a peep. He just looked around and seemed to not want to miss out on all the excitement. Ricky's family purchased the Grow With Me package, so I will be photographing this little guy a few more times this year. I love seeing how newborns change in only a few short months and the Grow With Me package assures that you will have a great portrait collection during your baby's first year of life. 


Welcome to the world, Ricky!

Photo Session Style Tips- Chicago Engagement and Family Photographer

A few weeks ago I convinced my friend and fashion blogger to do a faux engagement session with her boyfriend. I wanted to increase my couples portfolio and knew they would be the perfect, stylish subjects. Below are some favorite shots from our session and check out the full list of style tips over on her blog, 2 girls in 2 cities!

Hello Hayden! - Chicago Newborn Photographer

Getting to escape the cold, dreary weather is always a treat and seeing this great family again just made my trip to Miami even sweeter! I spent the afternoon with 6 day old Hayden who was such a dream to photograph. He was so sleepy and rocked every pose! Hayden was my first little client that I was able to take outside for a portion of the session and I cannot wait to do more of these shots in Chicago when the weather lets up (it feels like a never-ending winter)...

Welcome to the world, Hayden! I know you have a great big brother to look after you :-)
