Special Holiday Session

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.


Chicago Children’s Photographer

Here is the winner of our Fresh Faces Contest. I had the absolute delight to photograph this little lady.  She’s so sweet and easy to work with. She felt really comfortable in front of the camera and look at the results!

Thank you for giving me the chance to create some beautiful memories for you. Below are some of my favorite shots - enjoy your sneak peek!

Portraits in the Park

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

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!!!

Fall Favorites

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

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.

Pottery Barn Kids at Oakbrook Mall

Finally the moment you’ve been all waiting for… After 3 long days of shooting at Pottery Barn Kids, Oakbrook Mall, the photos are ready for you to view. These are just sneak peeks for those that were ok to post their portraits online.

The days were a little longer for me since I normally shoot just a couple sessions a day. I know it’s challenging to get good results in only 20 minutes or so but look at the results. It was fun to meet you all and make some new friends.

To view the images, visit the following page: Pottery Barn Kids Sneak Peeks

To me this was a contract job with Precious Time Photography. They’re a national company, subcontracting local photographers to run these sessions locally. Janie & Jack stores are also running a similar promotion in mid-October, and I’ll be shooting at Woodfield Mall, Schaumburg. As you can see from my website, the majority of my portrait sessions are on location and outside.

Feel free to look around and contact me if you have any questions. Looking forward to see you all again!

Outside Session for 1st Birthday

This little guy will be turning ONE next month. His family wanted to go out for a laidback photo session in their garden. The weather was beautiful, and this boy was so relaxed. He did really well in front of the camera, and kept me giving me such cute expressions. I enjoyed him and his family so much. Here are a few sneak peek photos. 

Studio Session for 1st Birthday

This little lady came for her 1st Birthday pictures. She was such happy doll, giving smiles to everyone. She looked like a princess in her new white dress. I loved all her expressions. Happy Birthday, dear lady!

Posting a few photos for mom and dad to enjoy!
