Sweet Tiny Dancer | Lake Geneva Photographer

When your house is filled with baseball and boys, and your mom is a dance, the whole house rejoices when a sweet little girl enters their midst. Emersyn is already deeply loved by her older brothers, who begged to snuggle her our entire session!

Her “Studio Delivery” session in home shoot combined the poses of my studio with the comfort of the family’s home. Her brothers could eat lunch and nap while little sis was the perfect model. We were also able to capture lifestyle shots of the new family of 5. Truly the best of both worlds!

Baby, sweet baby, with tears in your eyes
Rest your head gently, there’s no need to cry,
Come let me sing you a soft lullaby
The sandman is coming and dreamland is nigh;

Baby, sweet baby, with skin soft and fair
And little pink ribbons done up in your hair,
In your tiny world there should not be a care
May angels surround you and send you a prayer;

Baby, sweet baby, your cute button nose
Your soft tiny fingers and sweet baby toes
Have truly bewitched me and nobody knows
How the depth of my love for you just grows and grows;

So precious and tender your love is to me,
Until I first held you, I never could see
How wonderfully magical my life could be –
You’ve opened my heart and my spirit is free!

Sunset on the Chain Session | Spring Grove Photographer

Sunset on the Chain Session | Spring Grove Photographer

I love it when a family embraces photography as a way to capture what is important to them. When photography represents family, traditions, and even sacrifice.

Lake Geneva Photographer

What better way to capture a family’s memories than at a place where so many of their favorite memories are made?!

Lake Geneva Photographer

It makes my photographer heart even happier when a family doesn’t want the traditional sit and smile photo, but wants to capture their happiest place in the world… like on their boat at sunset. With the wind in our faces and the water as smooth as glass, we saw the sun sizzle into the horizon as the sky turned a brilliant orange.

Lake Geneva PhotographerWhen this family sees these photos on their lake house walls, I hope they remember the laughter and fun we had on this gorgeous night. Who else wants to take me on a boat ride?!?!

Let Them be Little | McHenry County Photographer

McHenry County Photographer

 can remember when you fit in the palm of my hand.
Felt so good in it, no bigger than a minute.
How it amazes me, you’re changing with every blink.
Faster than a flower blooms they grow up all too soon.
So let them be little, cause they’re only that way for a while.
Give them hope, give them praise, give them love, every day.
Let em cry, let em giggle, let them sleep in the middle.
Oh, just let them be little
McHenry County Photographer
I’ve never felt so much in one little tender touch.
I live for those kisses, prayers and your wishes.
Now that you’re teaching me things only a child can see.
Every night while we’re on our knees all I ask is please
Let them be little, cause they’re only that way for a while.
Give them hope, give them praise, give them love, everyday.
Let em cry, let em giggle, let them sleep in the middle.
Oh just let them be little.
McHenry County Photographer
So innocent, a precious soul, you turn around.
Its time to let them go.
So let them be little, cause they’re only that way for a while.
Give them hope, give them praise, give them love, every day.
Let em cry, let em giggle, let them sleep in the middle.
Oh, just let them be little
Let them be little

Extended Love | Lake County Photographer

When I get a request for an extended family session, I seriously do a happy dance. Growing up, I remember having a family photo shoot with my extended family ONE TIME. And I’m pretty sure I was 4. I don’t have sentimental photos with my whole family, with my aunts and uncles and grandparents. Those special relationships were rarely captured.

Lake Geneva Photographer

So, I literally jump up and down when families want to capture their relationships.

It is always worth it!

Lake Geneva Photographer

So gather your family around you, and let’s make some memories together! I’m now booking for Spring and Summer!

Sweet Millie M. | Lakewood Newborn Photography Session

 

When I am invited into a family’s home during the first few days of a new baby’s life, it feels like I get to peek behind the curtain at the ‘real’ going on. I get to witness first-hand the teamwork between mom and dad, the amazing support of the proud grandparents, and the every-little-moments between the day to day routine of caring for a new little life.

Lakewood Newborn Photographer

Getting to meet Miss Millie Ann was no different. Coming a little early and weighing a tiny 6lbs 18oz, and measuring 18.5”, she is pure perfection!

Lakewood Newborn Photographer

To see the love shining in her parents’ eyes reminded me of the first days after bringing my new baby home. That head-over-heels, delicious love that you have never felt before. Truly, a spectacular type of joy that you didn’t even know existed.

Lakewood Newborn Photographer

Even her 4 legged older siblings are overjoyed with the new little life in the house! What a pleasure and honor to capture your first days, sweet Millie. So many more memories to come…

Ah! Sweet mystery of life
At last I’ve found thee
Ah! I know at last the secret of it all!
My spirits are truly unruly
For I’m falling in love with someone
Some one girl
I’m falling in love with someone
Head awhirl!
(From “Thoroughly Modern Millie”)
