Firsts of Spring

I met these little darlings earlier this year as part of a volunteer project. I joined the student photographers at College of Dupage for their 9th annual partnership project with Easter Seals. The title of this years show was "The Book of Firsts" and it showcased first events for the students of the school.
It was a truly rewarding experience and I wanted to thank my family, Mike and Lynne, for allowing me into their home and sharing their children with me.

Hooray for Greenstar!!

Daily Candy loves Greenstar Creative--Yay for Lynda!!
Today DC came out with its Fall Wedding Guide and is featuring her luscious custom stationary. They only write their witty prose for the hippest companies and products in Chicago so it's a big deal!! Check out the story at http://www.dailycandy.com/chicago/

Isn't she lovely

This started as a belly session, but she arrived when she was ready. We spent a beautiful morning together and she was just precious.




Gina and Brad thank you for sharing your beautiful daughter with me and Congratulations!

Beautiful Dancer-Part One

This one took a bit to happen but we had a great time once we finally got together. The original date was the weekend we had torrential rain for 3 days. Not good, for more reasons than you can imagine. But, after my trip out west, we got lucky with the most beautiful day.

It is a 'Part One' because P. is a dancer and we did some really cool shots at the end of this session to show off her talent in a very artistic way. I'm still working on some unique items with the dance shots and will share soon.

These however were taken at a great old building with beautiful fall color changing ivy.
enjoy!

I can totally see this on on an announcement of her Graduationhello Gap? we have a new model!

Real quick. Today I am heading out to St. Charles to see my friends at Eliza Jane. The towns annual Scarecrow fest starts today and we'll be behind the store showing off all the latest and greatest.

California Girl

Well it certainly wasn't easy, but I picked a few fav's from this session out in CA. As a graduating senior she was excited to have her 'real' pictures taken. She was so much fun to work with and really up for anything. We did all these AFTER she sat with the family for those shots (see previous post). I think the only reason we stopped is because she had to go to a soccer game.
enjoy!




love this!!
Thanks K, I had a great time!
