Lily’s Ballerina Portraits
Little Miss Lily was a bit shy at first, but warmed up nicely after our silly face contest (she beat me heartily). Such a beautiful fairy princess! 
Diesel’s Pet Portraits
This shoot was so bittersweet for me! Diesel is a 5-year-old Great Dane, who was recently diagnosed with cancer. HIs “parents” wanted to do a session to celebrate his life and relationship with his family.
Diesel’s one of my favorite dogs. We filmed his parents’ wedding, and did maternity, newborn, and family portraits over the years. So I’ve seen him grow from an awkward puppy to a small horse! LOL. He is the sweetest dog, and has a very gentle spirit. I snuck him lots of cookies during our shoot, and he was enjoying all of the snuggles. Diesel, you will be missed. ♥
Becky & Barry’s Engagement Session
Becky and Barry were the first place winners in our 2011 Wedding Giveaway. I had so much fun laughing with them through their session, and I can’t wait to shoot their wedding!
Lauren & Stephen’s Engagement Session
We had a gorgeous sunny day for Lauren and Stephen’s engagement session! I am so looking forward to their wedding… the love between them is palpable.
Tyanna’s Headshots
The lovely Tyanna needed new headshots for her business, and for the women’s networking group I’m a part of. She’s so photogenic, she made my job easy!
Powell Family
I’ve had the pleasure of working with the Powells for a few sessions now. The most recent was Jonni’s adorable maternity pictures with Keaton.
Hayden is a natural little poser. He had lots of ideas for poses we should do, and is notorious for popping out with a silly face when you least expect it. My favorite is the one below of him on the swings.
Thanks for braving such a windy day to come out and shoot! I hope you guys had fun!
Happ Family
Jamie and Alyssa are such cuties! We had a great time dressing up as ballerinas. Jamie and I are good friends now that we know we both love mint chocolate chip ice cream.
Ragusin Family
Christina is my dear friend, and the owner of Lilybelle Photography. It was an honor to do her family’s portraits, as well as her promotional photos for a feature on her company.
Maynard Family
We had fun at this shoot, capturing the girls giggly personalities. And yes, little Ivy’s eyes really are that beautiful color blue!
All About M.E. Headbands
I just love these beautiful headbands! I did a promotional shoot for the company, and I can’t wait to use some of their products in my newborn and baby shoots. Visit their Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/pages/All-About-ME-Bowtique/361039677215?ref=ts
Liza’s fashion shoot
We had so much fun doing this fashion shoot. It’s one of our new options that I’ll be announcing soon, so keep checking back!
Callie & Shane’s Portraits
I don’t think I’ve ever laughed so hard as I did at this portrait session! Callie and Shane are both on their high school water polo teams (hence all the pool pictures). With all the crazy poses and laughter, we still managed to get a few shots for Callie’s modeling portfolio. I had fun you guys!
Diana’s Senior Portraits
Lovely Diana was such a great sport! I was thoroughly impressed with her Poms jumps!
Joey’s 1 Year Portraits
Adorable Joey came to us for his 1st birthday portraits. He has such a fun personality! I loved capturing some of it on film. He’s now a big brother, with an equally adorable little brother!
Nessa’s Senior Portraits
Beautiful Nessa traveled with me to one of my favorite places to shoot… Wilmette. Be on the lookout for more samples of our senior portrait offerings!
Gavin’s 1-year portraits
Sweet little Gavin and his family were so wonderful to work with! Despite skipping his nap, Gavin was a doll. I also had fun taking pictures of the family dog, Ozzie.
Handler family portraits
I brought my daughter Sabrina along for this shoot at the Morton Arboretum. While one of the kids was not feeling up to pictures that day, we still managed to get some really fun shots! We had a fun day with these adorable kids.
March of Dimes – Walk for Babies
This year I was honored to donate my services to the March of Dimes’ Walk for Babies. It was a cold, wet day, but nothing could dampen the spirits of these walkers! I was so moved by all these families and their amazing stories.
Montsion Family
The Montsions are some of my favorite people. We filmed their wedding, did Karly’s maternity pictures, and have taken some of Mikayla’s baby pictures. This shoot was fun! We had a hard time keeping her on the backdrop, so like most babies this age, we had our best luck shooting outside!
