Avery at Olive Park - Chicago Children's Photographer

On one of the last warm fall days I got a chance to hang out with the adorable Avery. She needed a little bit of time to ease into the session and then we got to have a lot of fun. I'm guessing her favorite part was at the end when we got into the lake and splashed around.

Our new nieces - Graycin & Reese - Newborn Photographer

We flew to Denver a few weeks ago to meet our new nieces - Reese and Graycin. My brother-in-law and his wife had identical girls in September. We spent the weekend cooking and taking pictures. Well, J did all the cooking... I tried really hard to tell them apart all weekend, with no luck. Conveniently, they have colored bracelets on to tell them apart for now. At one point we removed both bracelets for the photo shoot. I'm pretty sure we put the bracelets back on correctly :-)

Here are a few of my favorites (yes, I have a lot of favorites) Can't wait to see them when they visit for Christmas in a couple of weeks!

Yes, Graycin, I see you are done with the pictures at this point :-)

Hey, sis, you sleeping?

The V brothers - They look pretty good holding an itty bitty, right?

Mockaitis Family - Chicagoland Family Photographer

Oh My! I am in LOVE with this session and this family. I was lucky enough to photograph the family for their maternity and newborn session a few years ago when their first was born. But like so many families they packed up and moved to the 'burbs soon after. I am thrilled they asked me to come out this fall to photograph their family including their adorable one year old girl.
