Introducing Little Miss G

A couple of weeks ago I photographed a very stylin' eight day old. She was born a month early and her parents still found time to shopping for props to use during out photo shoot. She did awesome. She slept through a dog barking, two cats jumping around and us changing her outfits, putting her in flower pots and bowls.

Melanie's Maternity and Introducing Baby J

Being so far behind on my posting I get use this one for double duty - maternity and newborn. Melanie looked gorgeous during her maternity session here at the studio. And I loved playing around with some different textures. And a couple of weeks ago I got to visit them in their home for Baby J's newborn session. He was a dream to photograph and was so sleepy for the whole session.

Matt Kissane

Last week, I spent a somewhat rainy, but awesome afternoon with Matt Kissane for his new headshots. We had a blast walking around Dominican's campus for some cool outdoor shots. Matt is a fabulous comedian that I got to work with last year for a green screen event and he was Jake Blues. If you ever need a comedian for an event or a children's party-definitely check him out: www.mattkissane.com.





This is a picture from the event I worked with Matt. It was for an Event Gallery green screen event and it was a blast!

Urban Teen Session

Most of my clients tend to be itty bittys so, I was super excited when had a chance to spend a couple of hours photographing friends Dakota and Michael in some industrial areas around Chicago. They did a great job even though the preferred to be skateboarding the whole time. (which they are awesome at, btw). Thanks guys!

One Step Camp in Lake Geneva

Last Monday I had the privilege of spending a day at One Step Camp in Lake Geneva. It's a two week summer camp for kids with or in remission from cancer through Children's Oncology Services here in Chicago. It's an amazing experience that leaves you inspired by the courage of these campers.

The afternoon started with a water balloon toss and turned into a huge water fight.

The water fight lasted a few hours. My camera barely escaped without being drenched.

The Ziegler Family - Chicago Children's Photographer

I am not sure how the Ziegler Family wasn't posted before now, but here they are! They were one of my last families I was able to photograph outdoors before the Chicago winter kicked in at the end of last year. Lisa recently joined Facebook inspiring me to upload some fun pictures from our session for her and it reminded me that we didn't have a post here either.

Zach is a total blast to hang out. And even though he tried with all his might not to look at me when I had my camera up that day, he did a great job.
