in chicago! we’ve had some great weather this past week – perfect for outdoor fall sessions at the park! so much to do and see – especially if you’re one years old!!!

this was my third session with this guy and his parents – i also photographed him as a newborn and at 6 months. amazing all of the changes in the first year – i can’t believe how much he’s grown! it’s cliche for sure, but time really does go sooooo fast!!!

looks who’s turning one!

i’m sure you recognize this beauty from my site – this is my third session with her. it’s been so great to watch her grow – and her eyelashes keep growing too!! she was feeling serious this day – but she managed to let a few smirks slip!

this session i discovered that the best way to eat a birthday cake – is with your legs! yummy!!

i love when i meet someone and after talking to them you realize that you know some of the same people and go to some of the same places. i’ve known this mom for a few years through mutual friends, but she also knows my husbands’ family. i also recently found out that we like to vacation in the same michigan resort town. such a small world… when she asked me to photograph her little guy, who just turned one, i was thrilled! he is such a cutie – pretty serious, but we managed to catch a few smiles!

But, ssssshhh, don’t tell dad – these photos are a surprise!!

it’s all about the connection

it’s no secret that i love to take pictures of kids! all kids – babies, toddlers, preschoolers even teenagers. often, i’ll take shots of a family. to me, these can be a little more challenging, only because most people feel like they need to look at the camera and say “cheese” (that’s the worst). they just end up looking fake.

for me, family photos are best when they capture the connection that the family has. if a family is comfortable enough to let their guard down and just act natural – those are the best images.

this session was with a great mom and her one year old – who is just as sweet as he can be with those big brown eyes. these are the type of family photos that i love. these are the kind that i wish i had of me and my mom – how great would it be to look at these as an adult, or to show your children or grandchildren, even?
