Chip is 6 months old!

Chip, how to even begin this little blurb about Chip. I met him and his sweet Mommy & Daddy during my Christmas minis last year. After ooing and awing at him during those I was ecstatic that Mom reached out to me for 6 month photos (yay I get to see his little cute self again!)

Chip did not disappoint during his session 🙂 He had mom and I laughing hysterically most of the session at all the adorable faces Chip was making for us. He really has the funniest little personality and was the PERFECT model baby. <3

Waiting on Baby Head

Again, titled “Waiting on Baby Head” when in fact, the wait is over because she has already entered this world! In this case the blame was not due to me falling behind, but the fact that baby decided to come 4 days after our session. Talk about just in time! Adella was so proud of becoming a big sister and I am sure she is doing great with her new role! So happy for this family of four and the adventures they have ahead of them <3

Waiting on Baby Nicholson

Although this is titled “Waiting on Baby Nicholson” the wait is over. I am however way too slow at getting my blog posts updated 🙂 Baby Nicholson arrived a few days ago and I can’t wait to meet him in a week! But before I get ahead of myself, I HAVE to brag about how adorable these two are together and how stunningly Blaine pulls off pregnancy. She is radiant with her motherly glow and Levi’s adoration for her and his son ties this adorable little family together <3

Kynsleigh – Six Months

I never knew how much I would enjoy this but I absolutely LOVE seeing my clients grow. I had no idea that when beginning this photography journey would open up opportunities to meet so many new people and even grow closer with those I already knew! Keely & Drew first came to me when they were pregnant with their first baby girl back in June of 2015. My heart is full at the thought of getting to experience the journey of their first born with this little family.

Poor little Kynsleigh has had some tough times with me in the past but I see a breakthrough with her 9 month session, I just know it! She likes me a little more each time….A few tips I gathered from this particular session with sweet Kyns are that snacks are always more than acceptable at any moment(which I already knew but  just happy this girl could clarify that for me) and that a good cry makes everything better. So here she is, more gorgeous than ever with those absolutely adorable arm rolls for days that I practically died over, 6 month old Kynsleigh <3

Waiting on Baby Ramirez

MY VERY FIRST BLOG POST 🙂

What better way to start my blog off than with one of my beautiful dear friend’s maternity session. Since starting this journey of mine in photography I caught myself enjoying my outdoor sessions much more than indoors due to my lack of a studio. Then came the reality of living in Illinois with our outrageously cold weather for at least 4 months out of the year, forcing me to find an alternative to shooting only outdoors. Little did I know that with a little brainstorming and a few failed attempts that I would expand my availability during the winter months and actually fall in love with the challenges of shooting indoors. If you haven’t noticed by now I love all things neutral and lace because of its timeless and natural beauty, mix that with the gorgeous lighting in the sunroom of my very own home and I have created the look I never knew I wanted! I now hope to be able to book more of these type of sessions in the future.  Thanks for being my guinea pig Whit and dealing with my overly excited shrieks during this entire session. Again, you have the most beautiful family and I cant wait to meet this sweet little guy when he decides to enter the world!
