Can i just say that these kids have an amazing mom!!! Tracey drove all the way from Michigan to get to our session, she definitely deserves a medal.

I had a lot of fun with these three kids exploring the Art Institute. I love the clean archetectual line of the modern wing designed by renzo piano,  but i think that the kids liked the play room and riding up and down on the glass elevator the best.

It was so hard for me to have to edit these images for the blog because there were way too many great images to choose from.

On a chilly february day like today it is I thought it might be nice to share some images from a great event that i was able to photograph last summer. I love that all of the kids pushed their grandmother into the pool with them  because they wanted to play with her and i love even more how much love everyone had for each other and for their Grandma on her special day.

I FIND THAT I AM LOOKING BACK TO WHERE I WAS EXACTLY ONE YEAR AGO AND ALL OF THE FEELINGS I HAD LEADING UP TO, AND AFTER HER ARRIVAL. I  AM ALSO DREAMING ABOUT THE FUTURE AND ALL OF THE WAYS THAT WE WILL SPEND EACH ONE OF HER BIRTHDAYS TO COME. THIS YEAR HAS FLOWN BY SO FAST AND YET SO SLOW AS WELL. I AM JUST TRYING TO SAVOR EVERY MOMENT EVERYDAY THAT I HAVE WITH HER BECAUSE I KNOW ONE DAY I’LL BLINK AND SHE WILL BE ALL GROWN UP. HER BIRTHDAY PARTY WAS VERY PINK, BUT SHOULDN’T EVERYONE HAVE AT LEAST ONE PINK PARTY?

The first time i saw Millennium Park i fell totally head over heels in love! It is just so beautiful and very well thought out. The Lurie gardens are amazing, the bandshell is great and what kid wouldn’t want to splash in the fountain on a hot August day. I think that we are so lucky to have this amazing space and beautifully curated collection of public modern art right in the heart of the city.

This images were all created in a very small area by the frank gehry bandshell. I just love the combination of the metal and concrete.

I CAN NOT EXPRESS WHAT A DREAM COME TRUE THIS SESSION WAS!

IT IS SUCH A JOY TO PHOTOGRAPH A FAMILY THAT GENUINELY HAS SO MUCH FUN TOGETHER. IT MAKES MY JOB SO EASY.

THIS SESSION WAS SUPPOSED TO TAKE PLACE AT THE ARBORETUM, BUT AT THE LAST MINUTE MAY (MOM) THOUGHT THAT WE SHOULD CHANGE LOCATIONS TO THE BEAUTIFUL LAKE GLEN ELLYN.

I AM SO HAPPY THAT SHE SUGGESTED THE CHANGE IN VENUE! LOOK AT HOW GORGEOUS THE FOLIAGE IS!!!
