This little {almost} 4 year old has a birthday coming up next week. We did a fun little birthday mini-shoot with him last week. I LOVE these big number balloons, so I wanted to get some pictures with them….unfortunately if you are from the Chicago area you know how windy it ALWAYS is, so we […]

Mom contacted me and told me it’s been YEARS since they had family pictures taken and they didn’t really like having them done, but […]

We had such a great night together at the Swinging Bridge in Riverside. I had never been to this location, but when K & M wanted go there, I was excited to try a new location. They had their wedding pictures take here two years ago and they hope to return one day for maternity […]
