I was so excited to see these two adorable sisters recently, after all it had been almost two years since our last session together, so we were definitely overdue for some fun! Avery is now 7, and Piper just turned 4! Time really does fly! And I swear these two get even more beautiful and adorable each and every time I see them! Seriously! Today just so happens to be a very special day, the birthday of the fabulous mom of these two lovlies…Happy Birthday, Lindsay!!! I hope you have had a wonderful day of fun and celebration! Without further adieu, here are some of my favorites from our session! Family and friends can view the entire online gallery here!
We had such a beautiful fall here in the Midwest this year! I mean, it’s always lovely in the fall. However, this one seemed even more so. I met up with this beautiful family on a chilly, sunny autumn morning. Please say hello to Jason, Maria, and Emily! For those of you who know that I also take photos for my husband’s business, Reggie’s Motorworks, you may recognize Jason. This family, besides being a good looking bunch, is also a ton of fun! They love being outdoors and just spending time being together. They love to make each other laugh, to be silly, and to live in the moment. And, Emily, oh Emily! She’s just a doll, as you’ll soon see! So let’s get right to the images!
October was such an exciting month! One of my best friends had her first baby, and then Reggie and I became Great…as in Great Uncle Reggie and Great Aunt Stephanie. And we couldn’t be more excited for Tricia and Joe, and we know they are going to be amazing parents for Claire Analise. Isn’t her name beautiful? I just love it! Claire is such a little bundle of cuteness! We drove up to the Chicagoland area to visit our new family member when she was just 4 days new… and of course I had to take some photos! Claire was awake and alert the entire time, and was very interested in the magic black box that click, click, clicked every time she batted her beautiful eyelashes and wiggled her perfectly pink toes. Tricia and Joe, we are sooooo happy for you! It was so wonderful to see you beam with pride as you held Claire and introduced her to us. We can’t wait to see you all again soon!
When one of my best friends announced that she was pregnant, I was so excited! She and her husband eagerly awaited the arrival of their first little one. And he was so worth the wait! Actually, he was ready to meet his parents too, because he was born a week early! After 26 hours of labor, Audrey and Phil welcomed their sweet bundle of joy at 5:34pm on Sunday, October 23. Reggie and I visited them in the hospital, and seeing the smiles on their faces was such a great thing! They were beaming with pride as they introduced us to the newest member of their amazing family, Paxton Elliot. I got to hold him, and he melted my heart. I am smitten! Audrey and Phil, you will be wonderful parents, I am so, so, so happy for you both! I had the joy of capturing Paxton on his eighth day of life, and will never forget it. Here are some of my favorites from his session!
