The Mitchell Family - Chicago Newborn Photographer

Last week I got to see an old college friend and photograph her gorgeous family. Baby Jesse had joined the Mitchell family just six days before and was such a little peanut! I had such an awesome time with everyone and it was great to see Nicole. And seriously, six days after delivering your third child she looked amazing!

Congrats Nicole and Mark! And since this is your third boy I wish you all the energy you will need to keep up with your amazing boys.

Theo's Session on Chicago's Lakefront - Chicago Children's Photographer

Last week I spent a late afternoon running around the museum campus in Chicago with little man Theo. He is crazy fun to hang out with and is so easy to photograph. It's so much fun having him show me his latest dance moves, his downward dog yoga moves, making rolling eyes imitating dad and have him cuddle with his parents for our pictures.






Theo was ALL about the Shedd. He and mom had just gone to the Oceanarium the week before and now he really wanted to show dad while we where there. It took a bit to prove it had closed and we couldn't get in.






While we were chatting, Theo showed me his impersonation of dad when he gets mad.....
....Coincidentally, this is the infamous look I capture of mom each photo shoot as well......
(fyi, this is Theo showing me some more dance moves, hence the eye rolling by Ann)


Thanks for a great session Theo, Ann Marie & Chris!

Cael Turns One! - Chicago Baby Photographer

A couple of weeks ago I had an awesome time with Cael for his one year session with his mom and grandmother in Oz Park. Cael is such a happy little guy and is such a pleasure to photograph. And I just love hanging out with his whole family.

Cael's first experience with feeling grass on his skin.
These moments make my heart melt when I get to photograph them.





How big is Cael? Sooo big!



This is about the time Cael was getting over the whole photography thing.

Luckily a ride from Grandma makes it all better.
