Baby Henry - Chicago Newborn Photographer

A couple of weeks ago our close friends welcomed Baby Henry into their family. I was honored to be invited over to photograph him for his first big photo shoot. Don't get me wrong - Dad and Aunt Sally had already taken lots of pictures of the little man already, but I was thrilled to get to capture the new family and all their lovingness together.

Congrats to Aimee and Ryan! Baby Henry is a beautiful new addition to the crew.

Flourish Mother/Daughter Event - Chicago Family Photography

In honor of Mother's Day, I had the pleasure of being part of Flourish Studios Mother/Daughter Fun Day. Crafts were provided by Caravan Beads and Sweet 'n Sassy was in full force with updo's for the little ladies.

And I was lucky enough to photograph all the beautiful Mothers and Daughters and capture their special day together. We had so much fun and there were lots of hugs, kisses and giggles! It definitely made me go home and call my mom to tell her that I love her.

Kristina & Kevin - Chicago Wedding Photographer

Okay, now I am ridiculously behind keeping up with my blog posts. But, I had such a great time with Kevin and Kristina I had to make sure I shared some pictures before they get married next month. We did a picnic theme for the engagement session and Kristina brought the cutest props to lay out. They were definitely troupers getting through the session because it was absolutely freezing out. Luckily they laugh and giggle so much together I couldn't help but have a fabulous time along with them.

Kristina and Kevin, you guys are such a beautiful couple and I am super excited for your wedding in a few weeks.

Little Man Brave - Chicago Children's Photography

Betsy & Tim: Chicago Wedding Photographer

Betsy and Tim had a beautiful wedding right before Christmas at the Violet Hour in Chicago. Although it was a chilly day, the event was warm and toasty with all of their loved ones around them. I was honored to be included in their inner circle for the day (and enjoy one of the amazing cocktails with them at the end).

Betsy had the most amazing blue Manolo's as her shoes-fun and super sexy!

Seriously, yummy cocktails!
