yesterday was a gloomy day in chicago.  i’ve finally started putting away summer clothes for myself and the boys. ::sniff sniff::  but . . .  this little one was such a happy guy!  he didn’t care if it was raining or cloudy!  and boy did he have a lot to say – we talked the […]

i was laughing with this family about how cheerful i sound when writing in my blog.  but, i’ve realized, how can i look at these cute faces and not be cheerful?  i remember when i had my first son, my husband and i would just look at him and be amazed at all of the […]

this sweet girl was so adorable with her big blue eyes!!   her mom loves the hat she’s wearing and so do i! this is exactly what i mean when i say that color and texture look great in photos!  don’t be afraid of color!! what a beautiful family!

we all have a friend like this.  the kind of woman that takes everything in stride – even when her world is turned upside down.  well, the superwoman i know sold her house, bought a house and delivered her baby about 6 weeks early – all in the same day!  oh, and she has a […]

when i first met this sweet little guy – he was about two weeks old.  you may remember him from my website:   such a little peanut!!!  well, he’s grown a little bit and he is such a happy little guy!  mom and dad were also fun to hang out with.  although, that was before […]

back from a long weekend and still playing catch up! this sweet baby looked like a little doll!  her skin was perfect and her eyes were as big as saucers.  she was such a champ – so laid back – and then finally, when she’d had enough, she fell asleep!  so sweet!  

more sneak peeks. . . this was a fun day in the park!  i love images of siblings that show a glimpse of what it’s like to have a brother or sister.  this image where the two of them are laughing – i love it!   as a mom, i love to see my two […]

trying to catch up on blogging!  i’ve had so many sessions so i’ve been editing away.  this was such a fun session with this big sister and little brother!  big sis was on the go!  little bro just sat back and watched in awe!  enjoy the sneak peek!            

little miss j is in for a lifetime of laughter!  her parents were so funny – i was laughing through the entire session. although, she may not appreciate their humor when she’s 16 – especially if they pull out the image seen below (you’ll know which one i’m talking about).  how many people have fake […]

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 […]
