Maria, Nathan & Mia

Everyone who knows me is familiar with the Melchert Family. I have been photographing Nathan and Mia since they were born and probably have thousands of images of them. They are my favorite little ones to hang out with and they are all like family to me. This was our latest session at their local park. We missed Jim at this session, but we'll make sure he joins us next time.

Heil Family

Loryn has been one of my favorite little girls to photograph for a couple of years and she became a big sister this year. Faith is a gorgeous little one and was a complete doll to work with at only a couple of weeks old.

Nuni & Poppi

It was my beautiful grandmother's 80th birthday this week. She requested a mini photo shoot during our party over the weekend. I was able to capture my grandparents exactly how they are with us - laughing, being silly, and being absolutely lovely.
Happy Birthday, Nuni-I love you dearly.

Go Grizzlies!

My brother, Casey, is the awesome coach of the varsity girls and boys volleyball teams at Walter Payton High School. I was lucky enough to photograph the city championship game a couple of weeks ago where his JV and Varsity girls teams both won the city championship. The varsity team has since blown through the regional and sectional games and is heading to Bloomington tomorrow to play in the state finals. I wish them all the best and congratulate them on their incredible season.

GO GRIZZLIES!

Yuliana & Nick

Thanks for your patience while I went through a very busy spell and have been unable to post for a while. But, I have lots of fabulous and fun images to show you and I'll start with Yuli and Nick.

Yuli and Nick had a gorgeous Saturday in October. We started the day on the northwest side of Chicago for a lovely ceremony and then out to Des Plaines for an evening reception - with a couple of stops along the way for some fun pictures.
