Such an Inspiration…

Friday, August 31, 2007

I had the pleasure of photographing this amazing couple. They couldn’t be more in love even after 35 years!! They were like two teenagers in love~ couldn’t keep their hands off each other! I’ve never had so much fun watching two people ~ in love!

I need to know their secret, what a blessing to be so in love after 35 years of marriage. The photos totally show how in love they are. Amazing pictures!

That’s a prime example of what too much sugar will do to you! All of his teeth are falling out! He’s a cute little bugger with or without teeth, isn’t he : ) ?!

In your shoes….

Wednesday, August 29, 2007

Now I know how you all feel before a session, with the decisions of what should everyone wear? Ugh!

We were able to get a few of my families pictures taken with the help of my sister~in~law (Thanks, Lori). I was doing their family pictures and asked if she would return the favor of snapping a few of us since the camera would be set up for her. Rarely does my family ever have our picture taken, usually it’s the kids and my husband and I take the picture. I still don’t have any nice pictures of just myself and my kids(still on my list to do) but at least now I have a nice picture of all of us together.

She melts my heart…

Sunday, August 19, 2007

My Zoe wanted to try on her new winter coat that was hanging in her closet. She put it on and said "Mama take my picture", a girl after my own heart! So of course I had to jump at that and was able to capture these beauties of her.

These two are the same picture, just couldn’t decide which one.

CUTE AND ON THE LOOSE…

Wednesday, August 15, 2007

The picture below sums up my session with Mr.A.  He’s almost two and on the GO! It’s was also a very hot and humid day, but it didn’t stop him. He just kept running and smiling. He had a blast and really I did too. Good luck to his Mommy and Daddy keeping up with him!

Such a treat….

Sunday, August 12, 2007

as much as I love to capture images of children, it’s really a treat for me to do some older kids. Or well I guess I should say in this case a senior, I shouldn’t call him a kid, he’s a lot taller than me! I don’t do a lot of seniors but I do enjoy capturing them as they are.

ANYONE???

Friday, August 10, 2007

Last weekend in Illinois I had to cancel some sessions due to the thunderstorm. We have rescheduled for Sat. Sept 1st.  I would have a few more spots available if anyone is in the Oak Brook area and is looking for a session. Please contact me through my website either by email or phone.

SISTER…

Friday, August 10, 2007

It was a lot of fun for me to work with these three sisters. Each had such different personalities and it was neat to see them come out in each of their pictures. They were just the sweetest and so beautiful, it was hard for me to narrow down their proofs to a reasonable number.

Here’s a few, I have too many favorites.
