I'm Outta Here!!!

In just a matter of hours I'll be off to the Dominican Republic on a missions trip with my husband and our high school students from our church. Needless to say, I'll be a bit hard to reach for the next week. I return late at night on Sunday, March 29th. Check back here soon for some pics of the trip- I plan to take plenty!!
If you are hoping to book a Spring photo session, please send me an e-mail through my website and I'll respond as soon as I return home. Thanks for your patience!

Adios! :)

A 15-month-old Sweetheart!

This weekend we headed down to my home town and spent Saturday at my home church. While I was there I ran into a good friend and her 15-month-old daughter. Since I had my camera in tow, (and it was a warm day out!) I couldn't resist getting some shots of them. Jori is adorable and so full of expression and it is obvious her mom in head over heels in love with this girl!

Here is my personal fav...

My Spunky Isabel

We were blessed last week with a nice warm day. It was actually Isabel's idea to head outside and get some new pictures of her. I think partly because she was getting a tad jealous that mom has been taking so many pictures of everyone else's kids. :) She is always a willing model and can turn on a smile like no one else.

Here she is in her favorite hot pink boots!A true "Isabel face"...

I couldn't resist this shot of her tush as she climbed the tree- as her mom, my personal fav. :)

Oh My- Nathan!!!

Honestly... could this kid be ANY cuter? I swear, this is the happiest, most easy going baby I know. When he smiles his entire face lights up, I just love it. While he was at my house this week I snuck in a "mini photo shoot" and was thrilled with the results. What a perfect little model he was (and cheap too!). Looking forward to taking many more photographs of this handsome guy in the future!

He loves playing with his toes. The minute I put him down, his feet are up!

Happy 4th Birthday Logan!

Logan turned 4 this week and his mom asked me to come try to capture what this little boy is all about at this fun age. He is obviously beyond cute and kept me on my toes trying to capture all of his great expressions. He loved showing off his favorite toy cars and he was especially excited that it was warm enough to head outside and play in the backyard. He was re-exploring his swingset after spending a Chicago winter indoors! Happy Birthday Logan, thanks for spending the afternoon with me!

Welcome to Our World Adelyn!

Oh I was SO excited to get to photograph this gorgeous little girl. Her mom, Stacy, is one of the nicest friends I know and so I was thrilled to get some time with her and her beautiful family. All of them, even Adelyn's big brother, Noah, were so cooperative and easy to photograph. Stacey looks absolutely stunning, hard to believe she just had a baby the week before- my camera loved her. :) Stacey and Brian- enjoy this precious girl, she is heaven sent!

Her cute big brother watched us from the bed...
