These boys wore me out— we had races, we played “Star Wars”, we rode their scooters, explored some closed-down train tracks… and had FUN!  I know the four year old was dreading it, but I think I converted him into thinking photo sessions are fun!  I know both of these boys well (which usually makes it harder), but they were great!  I think we got exactly what their Mommy wanted– the boys being boys!

ENJOY!

This little beauty is visiting from Nevada for her auntie’s wedding (which I am also photographing….yes, I said no more weddings, but she is a cousin!)… She is A-D-O-R-A-B-L-E…. bright blue eyes, dark curly hair– and loves to make fish faces…. tooooooo cute.  We had a short little session in the blazing heat… but got some keepers from it anyway!  

ENJOY:

This little red-headed beauty and I had a wonderful two hour playdate…. Mommy and Grandma sat on a bench while she and I galavanted around the park.  So much fun… and SO many great photos.  Little Miss “S” will turn three right after her new sister is born, so we got this photo session done just in time…. and you’ll see more of her holding her new sister VERY soon because her Mommy is having the baby on Monday!   Congrats to the beautiful family!

ENJOY:

Twins and their au pair!

The amazing parents of these twins gave their “au pair” a photo shoot as her birthday present.  She wanted some wonderful pictures of these adorable boys to take home with her at the end of the summer.  How sweet is that?   What I love about this photo session is that she let the boys pick out what they were going to wear (they are almost 4) because she wants to remember them as they are…. love it.  You might remember these two from Christmas-time… when they wore their Ed Hardy t-shirts for their Christmas cards… love that too!  And here they are… in their cute little 4-year-old-picked-me-out outfits.

ENJOY!

And baby makes FIVE….

Having three kids takes a lot of hard work– but if anyone can do it with grace it is this family!  The oldest child (who should for sure be modeling), was born the very day that my husband and I drove away from Chicago over 5 years ago.  Her mom is one of my best friends, and I went through her whole pregnancy with her… and then she went and had the baby as we were driving south.  Meanie.  :)  She actually knew she was in labor as we were leaving, but didn’t tell me so I wouldn’t feel torn to stay.  We met at the dog park when our children were our dogs…. and became fast friends.  FORTUNATELY for me…. she had her 3rd baby while I was visiting Chicago last week!  Everything with us always seems to come full circle.  It was a mad rush to find time to take pictures since I had my twins with me and she got released from the hospital the day before we flew home… but we made it work.  So… meet Mr Dillon– 2 days old– and his older brother, Peyton, and older sister, Anabela.  Beautiful kids.  Beautiful family.  Miss you all.

ENJOY:
