Another point to add to my endless list of why I love being a photographer – I get to be one of the first to meet new family members! This awesome little dude is my husband’s cousin’s baby and my husband was so jealous when I headed out to do this session when baby Ben was just ten days old. As a gift I’ll be doing his first year of photos so you’ll be seeing lots of baby Ben on the blog. I don’t think anyone will mind, right? Such a cutie, with the most rad little hairdo…
We so lucked out on the weather for our mid-November photo session. With sunny skies and temps in the upper 60′s, the Moses family and I hit Lighthouse Beach in Evanston to capture their family. The kids posed and smiled on cue, patiently waiting for the promised romp on the beach at the end of our session. And after all the little ones I shot this fall, I have to admit that I really enjoyed working with older kids who listened and followed instructions. It kinda shocked me at first when they did what I wanted the first time I asked. The Moses kids made my job so easy and we had a blast. Thanks guys for such a fun session!
Sweet and sassy Miss A turned two – seems like it was just yesterday we did her one year session. My favorite part of the session was when she started calling me “lady”. “Hey Lady, come over here…hey lady, watch this” As you see, she is a little princess into proper tea service so it seemed only fitting that she referred to me as a lady…
Yep, another gorgeous family I had the pleasure of capturing! Not only are the Quick boys absolutely adorable, they were such well behaved little troopers that patiently went along with my posing requests. They made my job so easy, and a ton of fun. I have to thank Nicole for introducing me to Elawa Farms, the picturesque location for this shoot – I’m definitely keeping it in my repertoire. This is one of those shoots that produced so many beautiful images that it was hard to narrow them down, here are just s few of many…
I absolutely love the image below – he is so proud to be a big boy standing up with his brothers! The way the two older boys are holding his hands just makes me know that they will always protect and help their little brother – melts my heart…

While finishing up Everly’s first year with her one year portraits, we took the opportunity to get some family shots too. Such a cute family, right?!

Sniff, sniff… Everly’s first year portraits are complete. I completely teared up when I first saw her at our one year shoot – little Miss is walking and such a big girl – and just keeps getting more and more gorgeous! What a joy it was to watch her grow and change over the past year. While I’m sad that our quarterly play dates are over, I look forward to our annual portraits going forward. Can’t wait to see you next year sweetie!
