These three little dolls are daughters of the creators of “Two Little Lovelies“…. They were all together this week on vacation and asked if we could throw something together last minute. Of course I could! We brainstormed a few ideas and they came up with this amazing scrap material banner thingy… They brought their husbands to help hold it (stellar job, men)… and they MADE everything the girls were wearing. Really? Who is this creative and awesome? Loved it all… and I am assuming they are going to be adding CLOTHING to their repertoire. They already make the most amazing clippies and headbands and room decor and… and.. and… the list goes on and on. So make sure you check out their website and “like” them on facebook. You couldn’t meet two more amazing ladies and moms. XOXO … ENJOY!

I really can not say enough good things about this family. I’ve been photographing little Kate for years… and now she has two adorable little brothers. Their newborn session was one of my favorites and now this is one of my favorite family sessions I’ve taken.  They really wanted a standing shot… and I just love the one of them holding the boys up… even though it was the very last shot… and the boys had pretty much had enough of me by then!  Anyway… all of them are the kind of people you meet and feel like you’ve known forever. Poor Kate had fallen during tennis and had a pretty bad boo-boo on her knee, but she was a trooper with everything I asked her to do. And the boys…. really? How cute are they? The first shot with the hands behind the head… he did that. I did not pose him. They are about to be sitting up, so our next session should be even more fun! Thanks for a fun morning… and ENJOY!

I can’t believe she is this old… seems like yesterday I was taking the popular “angel” picture of her as a newborn. Time flies… more updates soon!

I am so excited to share these pictures… Lily was a week old in these shots. She was so sweet and sleepy most of the time. I had the honor of photographing her big sister, Lucy, since the time she was in her Mommy’s tummy… and now Lily will follow in these footsteps. Lily has a full head of hair and was a nice, plump little thing at almost 9 lbs! Erin… I hope you love them and I’ll send you the rest tonight! ENJOY

This sweet little thing was hilarious.  We had a few different set ups (one being with the unicorn)… but this pink piano was my favorite.  Her mom had told me about the piano— and I knew exactly what we’d do with it.  She was really trying to play (as I’m sure you can see)…. and didn’t seem to mind that she was in the middle of the road.  I have so many favorites from this session.  They will all be ready soon!

By the way… thank you to everyone who has been so patient with my editing the past few months.  It has been a crazy, crazy spring and I am really working as hard as I possibly can while raising two five year olds!

I have announced Chicago session dates on FACEBOOK… so if you are interested, please email me.

And… Don’t forget to enter the contest (two posts below!)…. the winner will be announced this week!
