Super cuteness on a cloudy day!

Earth Mama | Palos Hills IL, Maternity Photography

I love having the chance to be connected to little people before they even arrive earth side. Maternity sessions are one of my favorite because there is something so special and powerful about a woman who is carrying a new life. She is never more connected to the earth and the universe then when she is with child. I had an amazing time capturing the essence of this soon to be changed family. And soon, I will be privileged to see a new soul enter this world.
And may I just say this earth mama rocked her session!

Who can resist the sweetness of a new baby? Not me! Babies are so adorable, innocent and hug-able and holding onto a little squish definitely gets my Oxytocin flowing. And that is always a good thing.
Thank you for a wonderful session, and thank you Addison for all the cuteness!

Duck, Duck, Boy! | Palos Hills, IL Maternity Photography

I have known this hot mama for quite some time. Since we were young and wild (ahh the good old days) but now we get to enjoy an entire different type of crazy, raising kids :)
And these two cuter than words girls will soon be getting a baby brother. I can't wait to meet him :)

Morning Light | Willowbrook IL, Baby Photography

It feels so nice to shoot for no other reason that to shoot. I decided I need some photos of Gavin eating his feet before he stops doing it but I ended up getting this instead. It feels so nice to find magical light. And now I am so happy to have gotten a few photos of the sweetest baby ever, and captured the morning light. I have to remember that inspiration is everywhere I just have to take the time to stop and notice it :)

I started out shooting pretty open at 2.0, but then thought I should play around with the aperture and see if I can capture more of the light rays.

2.0, 1/640, ISO 640


4.0, 1/320, ISO 1250


Isn't he the sweetest baby ever? ;) I'm sure his "other" mom thinks so too! I can't wait to play with the sun some more!

Love is: when one and one makes three | Chicago IL, Baby Photography

Happy 1st Birthday Maria!!!!! I met little Miss when she was almost three months old, and I think she remembered me at her session.  She wanted me to carry her around instead of having me photograph her, ha ha how cute! I had an absolute blast with this family, although I didn't get my Oreos this time ;)













Maria enjoys, standing, reading books, looking out the window, eating leaves, and taking cakes apart :)

This little guy was so curious and content. He didn't really want to sleep but who can blame him when all this fun stuff is happening :)) Oh and check out that awesome hair!!! So stinking cute!

Jack is ONE | Evergreen Park IL, Baby Photography

I had the pleasure of photographing Baby Jack. He turned ONE on 1/1/11 :) How cool. Jack was such a ham, I loved following him around. Isn't he the cutest?! :) And in addition to being super adorable he's a White Sox fan..woo hoo!
