October 5 on 5

October 5 on 5 is already here! Wow! Where is this year going? September was a long, but fast month. We were so busy as always. The boys have adjusted to school well, which I’m thankful for. My oldest loves to read and my youngest loves to color. Hopefully they continue down a good path….

Macro baby hands | Chicago Newborn Photographer

Baby hands, chubby and small, are by far my favorite images. There are something about newborn hands I adore. Maybe because they can hold on so tight? Or maybe because they’re one of the first body parts they discover. Whatever the reason is, these images always make my heart sing.

Baby Ben | Chicago Newborn Photographer

Holy cow! Baby Ben had the longest, most beautiful eyelashes I have ever seen. A touchy little guy, but definitely adorable as can be. Mom and baby pictures make me the most nervous to take for some reason, but I really think they are becoming my favorites from the session. I always try to have…

August 5 on 5

Wow! Summer has been flying by! August 5 on 5 is here already. We were lucky enough to be able to take an east cost family vacation in July. It was AMAZING! I had so much lobster and I’m already missing it. I have barely had a chance to go through any of my pictures from…

longest lashes | Chicago Newborn Photgraphy

Have you ever seen newborn eyelashes this long? The minute I saw this sweet boy I was drawn to his long eyelashes. They are simply amazing. Detail images are always a favorite of mine. I mean, how else would you really see how unbelievable they are!

July 5 on 5

It’s that time again! July 5 on 5 is here and I can’t believe June is done! Wow! That totally flew by! June wasn’t the most exciting for us. A lot of running around, school ending, and adjusting to the kids being home. We’ve done a few experiments, splash pads, parks, and pool time. I…

Baby Josephine | Chicago Newborn Photographer

There’s just something about classic names I’m beginning to love again! Josephine is one of those names! Baby Josephine was as sweet as can be. She pretty much slept through her entire session, it didn’t matter if she was all wrapped up or not. It’s hard to choose favorites although, I do think baby Josephine…

I was so honored to have baby Enzo’s images featured in Lemonade and Lenses in April. Luckily he was a great model. As I mentioned in their blog post this little man is near and dear to my heart. I’ve known his Mama for over 20 years, she was a bridesmaid in my wedding, and…

    I am in awe of those lake images! I’ve never seen a lake even close to that size so it’s hard to wrap my head around these. The skyline offers perfect perspective. Happy birthday to your son!! ReplyCancel
