I had the chance to photograph ANOTHER senior today. It is quite fun to watch their personalities come through during their sessions. Alec, you were no different! Every picture I've got shows attitude! Alec is a swimmer and will be headed off to IA for college to swim!! Good luck, Alec. I had a great time today...even in the rain! Enjoy your sneak peek!!

Good 'n' Cold.

Today was COLD, WET and WINDY! Not a pleasant way to take pictures...but we survived!

This is my cousin, Jon. I got to spend the afternoon with he and his mom exploring a forest preserve. He assured me that it was worth it...and he was right. It was very pretty, but due to the weather, we didn't get too much time to walk around. I will definitely go back...when it's warmer!

Jon, I hope you like the pictures. If you are up for another session...for more options, just call! I think you secretly liked being a supermodel! :)

M.A.R.I.A

Thanks so much for spending your Sunday with me!! I love when local folks enjoy just wandering around town, taking pictures and telling stories with me. We shared lots of memories of growing up in Dundee. I had no idea how closely our paths have crossed, but this family has known my family for a very long time. It certainly puts the pressure on me to do a good job!
I hope you enjoy the pictures...Maria did a fabulous job!

My. Friend. Ben.

At least that's the way his mom referred to him! Another guy kind enough to get shuttled around town to make his momma happy! Ya gotta love kids like that! Thanks for hanging out with your mom and I today, Ben! I hope it wasn't too traumatic for you...oh, and by the way...we got some good ones for your mom!! :) (P.S. The last one is my FAVORITE!!)

Miss A and Mister E

My niece and nephew came back for another adventure!!

This time Miss Abby is 6 months old and Mister Eli is 2. Let's just say I got a really good workout today! I think regardless of the tears, sweat and stress, they turned out really well!!

.5 Years Old

Miss Ella is half a year old and proved to be developing quite a personality!

This is such a fun age to take pictures of and they always give me a run for my money!!

She was no different! She gave lots of attitude (typical girl) and really worked the camera! (Future model in the making!!)

Thanks again B&B...I have so much fun when you visit!!

Miss Abigail - 3 Months Old

I've always disliked taking pictures of babies at 3 months because they are the most difficult age to photograph. I was pleasantly surprised yesterday and discovered a new appreciation for this age. My niece was a perfect model!! :)

Here is Abby at 3 months old...looking winter chic! :)
