Soaring Eagle Academy school for Autism
I had the pleasure of photographing Soaring Eagle Academy recently in Burr Ridge, Illinois. It is a brand new school – but unlike anything else. The Academy is a non-public special education facility founded by speech-language pathologists. It is the first school in the Midwest to provide a social and academic learning environment utilizing a…

This was such a fun session with a new family who had not had professional pictures done in four years! Their son has autism and is non-verbal. When they first arrived, he was nervous about the new surroundings and this stranger with a camera, but about 15 minutes into it, he became very interested in…

Every client is unique, with their own dynamics. It is one of my favorite aspects of this job – that even if I go to the same place, it will never be the same experience, because every child is always unique. This family didn’t disappoint. They saw my special needs flier at Easter Seals where…

I got to photograph at a new location with this Hinsdale family – Kathleen Legge Memorial Park. I always love finding new places, and this place had some nice variety. It was easy to take beautiful pictures of this family, I mean, just look at them! But being me, I worked more on relating to…

I finally got to settle up with my Naperville Magazine contest winner, who just happens to be a neighbor, to boot! I don’t often photograph people I know, so it was a treat. Of course, it is easy to take great pictures of such a good looking family. And with these gorgeous fall colors right…
Read MoreHeartbreakers | Chicago Children's Photographer
I think I met some future heartbreakers the other day with this family. Not only are the children absolutely gorgeous, but they were the most lovely kids on the inside, too. They each wanted pictures alone with each sibling and their mom and dad. It was obvious this family has something special. I also got…

It is a rare chromosomal disorder that produces several complications, including cognitive delays, muscle weakness, vision problems, etc. Because of this syndrome, he also has cerebral palsy. At 5 years of age, Sean struggles to lift his head…
Read MoreStudio | Chicago Children's Photographer
So when I had Sarsha’s three-year picture session the other week (blogged here), I had also brought my studio equipment but had a little disaster. My lighting didn’t work…at all. That is why the previous session was 100% outside. But we wanted to get just a few studio shots, as well, so I got to…

I got to play with a new buddy! Meet Niko. He was your typical three-and-a-half year old. We went to a nice open area where all he wanted to do was run/walk towards the opposite side. LOL There was no distracting this little guy, he was a man a mission. I found myself jumping in…

You never know how a child is going to be, even when it is a child you know well. If this sweet girl looks familiar, it is because I photographed her baby twin siblings a couple months ago. She is also the reason I am in this business at all – as her mom was…
