Scout is a gorgeous honey colored labradoodle with so much character and the greatest disposition. He has welcomed his newborn baby sister and stands ready to serve!

I am pretty sure Scout knows how gorgeous he is but he isn’t conceited….he is well mannered, playful, and sweet.

Zoe was just over a week old when I photographed her. So tiny and cute!

She only covers the length of half of her Dad’s arm…..

Looks like a great start to life…..

I’m excited to have one of my books selected for Asukabook’s book of the month. Asukabook is one of my favorite album and book companies. I use their products for wedding albums, maternity and pregnancy photo books, and newborn and baby albums. Their printing quality is awesome and their books are top notch. Everytime I get a book back from them I think my photography looks fantastic it is a complete pleasure to look through. Check out my book  HERE.

Cover and backcover of book

Introducing Sofia…an adorable 3 month old who will charm you with her sweet demeanor, her cute button nose, her beautiful eyes, her blue tutu, and her big hair bows!

Meet Flynn…a precocious Wicker Park 3-month-old who uses “Goodnight Gorilla” for a pillow while delving into “Stories for men–13 Robust tales by America’s most virile men”

Obviously Flynn isn’t your ordinary 3-month-old boy….he has no apparent appetite for ring rattles, rubber giraffes, or  bendy balls…he goes straight in for Faulkner and Caldwell.

His excessive reading and curiosity have exhausted his parents entirely….now Flynn waits until they fall asleep to get his reading in….

I’ve been photographing Aiden and Ave before they were even born….

Their Mom wanted to document her pregnancy with twins….

They were born 6 minutes apart in 2008….I photographed them outside about 7 months later.

Last year we went downtown to the Lurie gardens and Millenium park to shoot the growing family…

And this year they had a new baby brother to join them….

What a fantastic family…

I can’t imagine a cuter baby to photograph…..

I first photographed Tatiana in 2007 shortly after she arrived in Chicago from Guatemala.  She was fantastic! So cute and  full of energy!  Last week I  got to photograph her again. It was a complete pleasure! She is gorgeous, creative and imaginative, and one of the most polite 4 year olds I have ever met. We hunted for dinosaur bones, pretended we were palentologists, collected leaves and sticks and looked for Captain Hook. It was such a satisfying day! When she left she said so genuinely “It was very nice spending time with you. Thank you.” wow!  Thank you Tatiana for coming back to Chicago so I could photograph you again!  I am posting both then and now photos of her below….
