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 :-)

Happy Birthday, Eliana! - Chicago First Birthday Portraits

Eliana has always been such a little bundle of joy (and energy). This photo shoot was full of smiles and laughter and I loved every minute of it. She seemed to enjoy being the center of attention and while she was not very interested in eating her cake, she did have fun sitting on it and clapping :-) Happy birthday, sweet girl!

Hello, Little Elle! - Chicago Baby Photographer

I had SO much fun with this little lady. I had spent most of the winter photographing newborns, that I almost forgot how much fun older babies can be. She was full of so many adorable faces and little coos that I couldn't stop smiling. The weather has been beautiful this summer so we took the opportunity to head over to Grant Park and do a little mini family session as well. With every session, (even you book a baby session), I like to include at least a few family photos as well. This little 3-month old cutie is part of my Ultimate First Year Collection (more info here) so you will be seeing more of her as the year goes by!
