Last week I headed out & drove two hours to Orland Park, IL, where Stephanie is located.. I had been wanting to freshen up my skills with posing High School Seniors & other random things on my mind.  Amanda (our model) was the sweetest & sooo gorgeous..She was such a natural in front of the camera..The weather was great, the location was perfect & it was all around such a great time..Stephanie explained everything to me that I had questions on & taught me some great Photoshop skills to take home..I now feel more ready for all my 2013 Seniors this summer..I want to thank Amanda for being such a great model & a HUGE thanks to Stephanie for not only being a great mentor, but a really wonderful & sweet person..I couldnt have had a better time!! If you have not checked out Stephanie's page, please do! She is SOO talented!

These are some of my images that I took following Stephanie's advice with manual camera settings, posing & photoshop editing techniques..

Thank you to Jill for contacting me to take Easton's 9 month photos..I have known Easton since he was not even 2 weeks old when I had the pleasure of taking his newborn photos, he is such a sweet boy! It is so fun to see how big he is everytime I see him...Cant wait for his 1 year shoot..Jill & I are already brainstorming ideas! Hope you guys enjoy these!!!

Thank you to Heather for contacting me to photograph her newborn baby, Amber..Such a sweet family of four they are..Big brother was soo sweet checking out his new baby sister! Amber was only 6 days old in these photos and already so cooperative with the camera- Enjoy the photos!



These adorable skirts & matching hair pieces were custom made by Baby LiLi Boutique! ..My girls have been such great little models for me this past week with all the great items we received..Hope you all enjoy the photos & Thank you again to my friend Amber for making such adorable items for us!

Since it has been such nice weather this week & Amber from Baby LiLi Boutique brought us some gorgeous custom made dresses & hair accessories, I had to take advtantage & find a fun place to go with the girls..Luckily my mom helped with all the wardrobe changes & doing cart wheels behind my back so the girls would laugh..It was a fun time!!
