Baby M - Grayslake Baby Photographer

I've shot for this family before and they are so much fun.  This is baby M's first session.
Of course there is always time for a few shots with sisters and mom.

Enjoy the sneak peak!

Look at that smile and great eye contact!

What a handsome little guy! Thank you M family!

Thank you M family! It was great to work with you on these beautiful images!

Family Reunion - Grayslake Family Photographer

"Like branches on a tree, our lives may grow in different directions yet our roots remain as one."

The second event I captured was the very first family reunion of the Sosa, Herrera, Avalos and Rodriguez families.  This event was filled with laughter, music, food, and love.

Here are just a few images:

"Generations pass like leaves fall from our family tree.  Each season new life blossoms and grows benefiting from the strength and experience of those who went before." 

"Family is essential because we all yearn to feel like we belong to something greater than ourselves."

 "In every conceivable manner, the family is link to our past, bridge to our future."  

"Know from whence you came because if you know from whence you came, there is no limit to where you can go." 

"You don't chose your family they are God's gift to you."

Special thank you to my dear friend Ana.

Baptism - Grayslake Family Photographer

"Today's special moments are tomorrow's memories." 

I had two wonderful celebrations to capture this last weekend.  

The first was the baptism of this sweet little girl.   

Through baptism she is welcomed into the family of God and what a beautiful welcoming she received.

Thank you to one of her godmothers for asking me to document this special day.  The family was fun to work with and the occasion was beautiful.  I really enjoyed being a part of it.

Birthday Girls - Grayslake Family Photographer

My girls had their birthday's at the end of last month.  Every year I take them out to get a few birthday pics in.  They do all the posing themselves, part of growing up with a mom with a camera she knows how to use.

M turned 10! She is growing into such a well rounded, friendly and confident young lady.  This year she went to a new school, the change has brought a higher sense of responsibility in her.  I can't wait to see what wonderful new things come her way.

R turned 8! She is my spirited daughter.  She challenges me to be a more understanding, compassionate mother.  This last year we've grown closer together.  She does everything with so much passion.  This year she unexpectedly received a new teacher, the teacher assignment was a last minute change.  She took the change very well and loves going to school every day.  

"Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes.  Don't resist them; That only creates sorrow.  Let reality be reality.  Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like."

I will not resist that my kiddos are getting older, changing every year, changing every day.  The reality is they are growing up, I am doing my best as a mother and I am very proud of them.  We will naturally move forward with the years, days and with each passing hour just as it is meant to be.
