We will be out of the country from Tuesday the 20th through the 28th. I will be checking my email periodically so if you need to get in touch, just write me an email! Thanks!

Urban Baby Session

Today my friend Kelley and I (also a photographer--www.kelleydemasphotography.com), took her little baby Annie out for a shoot. It was very urban!







We couldn't resist this crazy wall by Kelley's house...




Finally at home...

Today's Chicago Woman Magazine

I'm pleased to showcase two of my couples from last year in Today's Chicago Woman Magazine. My two couples are Sandra and Octavio and Melanie and Greg. Today's Chicago Woman Magazine is a free publication available at many locations throughout Chicago. Congratulations again to my two couples!

If any former clients would like me to send in their pictures, just let me know! It's kind of fun to see yourself in print!


On another note, I am so excited for my friend Jeni. Jen has her masters in NeoNatalogy and dedicates her life to helping really sick babies. Recently she was published in the Journal of America Academy of Pediatrics! For those of us not in the medical field, this is a VERY big deal. She worked her butt off in grad school and she's doing really really well. Congratulations Jen!

I am getting really excited for tomorrow because it is my first wedding of the season (except for one in February)! I am jumping out of my skin to get shooting. I also have a TON of portraits this next couple of months, which I am also really excited about. Congratulations Nicole and Michael! I can't wait for tomorrow--it's at one of my favorite places in Chicago--A New Leaf on Wells Street. It's such a cool space. Check it out.

Crazy Chicago Weather

It's been crazy warm here in Chicago this past couple of weeks. So today, I took a special little trip to the park with my munchkin. Wedding and portrait season is starting up soon and I am going to be insanely busy so I thought we could get a little quality time AND I could combine it with a little portrait practice. I've got a lot of portraits coming up in the next couple of months!

I know every mom thinks her kid is the cutest kid around, but truly, I think Max is the best. I mean, look at the pose.


Come on mom, let's go to the park!!

Trying to negotiate a step. I'm thinking this position is not going to work

This is the smile that he gives me every time I tell him "no"

...or this....

At the park, charming the lady next to us on the swings...

Apparently wood chips taste great. As do huge handfuls of sand.

Bye mom, I'm going home

Here's what he looked like on the way home
