Mya- Chicago Children's Photographer

This was a highly anticipated session by not only me, but my 7-year old niece as well. Granted, our excitement was for different reasons; I had been wanting do to a session with her for ages and she had been wanting some new Pokemon cards... win win. I flew to my sister's house in VA and new that I wanted to do this session in Colonial Williamsburg. I don't often have the chance to photograph clients in this type of setting and had to take advantage of the gorgeous homes, rustic barns, and animals grazing. My niece was her usual crazy, awesome self and was so great at listening to my direction. There was also plenty of time spent chasing squirrels and collecting pebbles, and I know that I will look back on these photos years from now and fondly remember this wonderful day. Love you to pieces, Mya Papaya!

Baby Whitney- Tiny Footprints Project NICU Portrait

I have been fortunate to meet many wonderful families in Chicago and photograph so many newborns, but whenever I work with The Tiny Footprints Project, I am reminded again just how truly precious these little lives are. Whitney came into the world 10 weeks early and had to do a bit of fighting in the NICU before she was finally cleared to go home (yay!) 

For any photographers looking to volunteer with The Tiny Footprints Project, I highly recommend signing up! And for anyone working in hospitals or know someone who has given birth to a premie, please spread the word about this awesome organization that provides complimentary in-hospital portrait sessions and all digital images to parents with babies in the NICU. 

Welcome to the world, Whitney!

Happy Birthday, Charlotte! - Chicago Baby Photographer

Oh my goodness, this little girl was so adorable and rocked her cake smash session! She was a bit shy at first, but after some cuddles from mom and dad (and a little snack break) she was all smiles and giggles. Charlotte was not very interested in eating her cake, and when we put her little fingers in the frosting she was NOT happy to have messy hands. She is obviously fitting into her role as the princess very well! Happy first birthday, Charlotte! I cannot wait to see you again this fall for your mini session :-)

Hello, Violet! - Chicago Newborn Portraits

Oh, this sweet girl was so perfect during her session! She slept like a dream and how precious are those cheeks?? I absolutely love being a newborn photographer in the Chicago area as it not only allows me to meet wonderful people, but I also get to travel to new neighborhoods and cities every week. This session took place in the client's gorgeous Hawthorne Woods home. The nursery was something out of a fairy tale, and was definitely fit for this little princess. Welcome to the world, Violet!

Hello, Zelda! - Chicago Newborn & Maternity Portraits

I met Corri and Spiro back in June for their maternity session on North Ave Beach, and had such a FUN time! They brought along their two furbabies, Emma & Harley and everyone was anticipating Baby Z's arrival. I love when couples just click and can have fun together, and I can take adorable candid photos of them without much direction.

                       
I was so excited to see Corri after the arrival of Baby Zelda. She easily slipped into the role of being a mom, and it was clear that Zelda stole her heart right away. Of course we had to take some shots in the amazing nursery and coordinated some props with her adorable lilac decor. You can follow Corri's story on her website as well as on her new blog, Glitter and Bubbles.
