Much Awaited | Naperville newborn Photographer, Wheaton newborn photographer
I was so happy to hear the news that this family had a new baby. I had first met them a year and a half ago when I did a session for their son who has special needs. They also wanted me to get pictures of the family having fun, etc. It was to build…

This little guy was so very easy. He slept most of the time and when awake, he just looked around, sweet and calm. Jordan was a little late coming out, and his skin was badly peeling, sort of like he was sloughing off his first layer. You can’t tell in my edits, but his mom…

This little darling girl was just a dream to photograph. She is also already famous. 😉 This family was interviewed during our session for next month’s issue of Suburban Parents for an article about newborn photography.

Read MoreCelebration | Naperville Photographer, Wheaton Photographer
It was a family event, celebrating the patriarch’s 80th birthday. Family had all come into town to celebrate and wanted to get some family pictures.

This little miss just turned two years old, but was an incredible talker. She thoroughly enjoyed playing and adventuring. At this age, she wasn’t willing to stand still, so we got a lot on the go. The only time she was still was when she asked her mommy to carry her like a baby. LOL…

This place was always magical to me, so…

This little gal was 10 days old when I met her. She was alert for a while but finally slept. I also got to use a new dusty rose blanket, which I think looks great against her skin. Congratulations to the new mom and dad on their baby and their new life as parents! …

When I get asked to photograph in someone’s backyard, I will admit that it makes me nervous, as you just don’t know what you are walking into – the lighting, the space, etc. But when I met 10 year old Megan, I didn’t really care. She was stunningly pretty. Of course, I instantly like anyone…
Read More"K" Family | Naperville Photographer, Plainfield Photographer
We were originally scheduled to go on location, but that day was extremely hot, and we decided to do a part studio, part downtown Naperville session, instead. It was a good thing, too, because the baby was much happier in the studio.

There are few times in life that you are keenly aware of life changing. Usually, we can look back at defining moments, but rarely are we aware as they are happening. Having a baby is one of those times. There is clearly a before. Before becoming parents. Before knowing that abyss of love. Before sleepless…
