Special Holiday Session

December 21, 2009 – 1:51 pm

Christmas is a season of the year we all cherish, and reminds us of our childhood, families and good times together. This holiday season I photographed a number of sessions but I wanted to share a few images of this special Christmas session.  It was my client’s idea to have the kids decorate cookies and enjoy the holiday tradition with Christmas music, gingerbread house and delicious cookies. The kids had so much fun decorating, showing their master pieces, and posing for the camera. These photos will remind them of the Christmas cheer and good times at this time of the year.  Memories they would cherish for years.

Their mom decided to use the images for their Christmas card, which actually turned out very unique and original. The card has a modern and clean design, featuring some of the photos from the session.  Take a look at the images to get more of this story.

St. Jude Fashion Show

November 19, 2009 – 4:00 pm

15th Annual Luncheon and Fashion Show

I had the pleasure to photograph the 15th annual fashion show event to benefit St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.  Over one thousand women attended the event to support the mission of this great organization.

This year the fashion show was presented by Saks Fifth Avenue, and some of the special guests were: Jesse White - Secretary of State, Robin Robinson and Jeff Goldblatt, anchors of Fox Chicago News, and a little girl, patient of St. Jude Hospital.

Dior Beauty provided complimentary make up in the lobby while Swarosvski had special necklaces for everyone on the tables. Every year I am amazed at the amount of people that gather at this event, the guest speakers, the generosity of the sponsors and everyone’s motivation to contribute and support St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

To receive more information about this event, visit the following site:  St Jude Fashion Show, hosted by Shaker Recruitment Advertising & Communication.

Don’t forget to take a look at the slideshow and photos to get a feel of the event dynamics.

Portraits in the Park

June 4, 2009 – 10:12 pm

Here is our Fresh Faces Contest Winner - a little doll! She was such a sweet and happy girl.  She just turned 9 months and mom will be happy to add some new photos to her keepsake album. 

I wish the weather was more cooperative but that’s sometimes wishful thinking. We had some wind and cooler temperatures but our little girl kept posing for the camera. 

Enjoy the photos!!!

Little Models in Chicago

March 28, 2009 – 2:05 pm

I had the pleasure to photograph two little models. These kids have already done some modeling jobs, and they needed updated images for their portfolio. Take a look at their photos and the little slideshow. Simply amazing! I couldn’t stop photographing them. 

We didn’t get the perfect weather. It was a cloudy day with some rain but that didn’t stop us. They kept changing outfits and posing for the camera. May be next time we’ll go to another fun location and the weather will be better. 

Mom - you should be proud of your kids!!!

I really enjoyed photographing this young lady and her husband. She wanted to do her maternity portraits in the 7th month. They are such a sweet couple and cannot wait for their 1st baby. I’m also expecting the little one to come to this world. They already booked me for their newborn session. Here is a little preview of this beautiful maternity.

Fall Favorites

November 4, 2008 – 12:26 am

We have been so lucky with the weather in Chicago this season. We’ve been having such a great fall with plenty of color to photograph. I tried to take advantage of the warmer days to shoot outside and to create some great portraits using the autumn foliage. Once the leaves turn into yellow, red and golden, then it’s my favorite time of the year to photograph. I spent as much time as I could at different parks and took my son to different locations. I feel pretty satisfied with the results, and now it’s time to order some collages, and may be some canvas. Next, I will have to find some time for Christmas photos and cards. It’s been a really busy season.

Halloween Session

November 4, 2008 – 12:03 am

This boy came for a Halloween session dressed up as a cowboy. He just turned 18 months, and his family wanted a studio session. I’ve been photographing him and his family for about a year. It’s been a pleasure to see them come back every few months. I’ve really enjoyed capturing his looks and milestones. I can’t wait for his 2nd birthday.
