First Snow - Grayslake IL Family Photographer

We had our first snow and one of my dear friends called me over to get some quick Christmas card shots.  I've saved the Christmas card images for her. ;)



L wanted to go back inside rather quickly.  He is still such a cutie with his "I'm freezing" face. 

 


Sister on the other hand. 
Well mom said it best: "I have one that shivers all winter long and one that would walk barefoot in the snow just to eat it." 
 
 
That is exactly what I captured.
 
 


We will have a part II of this session in the near future. :)

New baby G - Chicago Area Newborn Photographer

The M family welcomed a beautiful new baby girl into the world.  She is precious.  Mom and dad are beaming, you will see what I mean as you scroll down the images. 


 
 



Brother and sister are crazy about her.
 
 


proud daddy
 
 
I've known this beautiful mama since college and she looked good back then but now... WOW!
When you surround yourself with love it shows. 


Brother lost his shoe and baby sister thinks that is really funny! 
We took some really nice family portraits but this one was too cute!

A sweet little angel.
 
Congratulations M family! It is an honor to present these to you.

The Reason I Do What I Do - Chicago Area Photographer

This first image is the reason I do what I do.  I don't do it for the money.  I don't even do it for those "picture perfect" images.  I do it because every so often I capture something real.  Something that I can not pose or recreate.

 
This little princess is 2 1/2 and that is exactly the image above screams.  I love it!




We took some great Christmas card worthy images but these are the some of the images that I personally loved from this session and why I do what I do.  Thank you Mama and E for allowing me to do what I love to do.
