Dear Levi: We prayed many nights for you! This baby is our little miracle! He’s finally here!

From Levi’s mommy, “Levi is mine and my husbands biggest accomplishment! Our union in marriage brought him to us! What a blessing all around.”

The best part of an in-home newborn session is the ease an relaxation it offers. Instead of packing up yourself and your newborn, parents get to stay at home (in their slippers ;-). They can eat, rest, and be completely comfortable while capturing memories in their favorite space. What a better way to celebrate your new miracle! Levi’s mom agrees:

“I was a little nervous at first to do a lifestyle session. I was nervous about lighting and our home being clean. The lighting turned out wonderful and home photographed good! We don’t have closet doors, so Jessica didn’t get our closet in the shoot. All the little things I worried about didn’t need to be worried about at all! We felt extremely comfortable with Jessica. She is just a good hearted person! She handled our baby with ease and love. We were very happy we booked with her! We moved from room to room with the light of the house. We loved feeling so comfortable in our home and being able breastfeed without concern. I’d recommend using Jessica to my friends and family!”

Welcome sweet Levi. You’re an amazing miracle and we are so glad you’re here!

Lifestyle Session | Lake Geneva Photographer

I love capturing a family over and over, and getting to see every stage of their kiddos.

I love lifestyle sessions and capturing their REAL life.

AND I love supporting other women in their small businesses.

This lifestyle session was all of the things that I love and more!

Meet:
Bex (Amazing mom of 2, Founder & Creator of Happy Little Flame, also has a blog and is co-authoring a book!)
Sean (Daddy of 2, Plumber & HVAC tech, loves sports and craft beer)
Olivia (Princess aficiondo, Loves to sing, play dress-up, and make new friends)
Eve(Loves to dance and eat. HAHA)

During each of our yearly lifestyle sessions, I make sure that we always include the family’s favorite parts of their day-to-day. This session included their favorite family activities like playtime, tickles, books, and dancing. This year we also included the “helping hands” involved in Bex’s new business Happy Little Flame. As all entrepreneurs know, a small business involves every member of the family, from the biggest to the littlest. We were able to capture all of the ‘coworkers’ helping mommy out.

Whether it’s a big event, or the everyday in and out of life, I love to capture them all! And I love that these are the things that are important to my clients too! Bex says, “Lately, my brain is just so full… with raising a family, running a business, and chasing my passions, it’s bursting at the seams! There are memories and special moments that get buried, and I LOVE having beautiful pictures that can transport me back to a specific time. The best part about doing a lifestyle shoot is that it shows what our lives are like at that moment in time.”

Lake Geneva Photographer

And Bex’s mom-tip for your lifestyle shoot: “Make sure you carve out enough time to get yourself ready. With little kids it’s hard to take time to do your make-up and hair, and also get them ready. This last session was the first time I made sure I had enough time to make myself look the way I wanted, and it felt so good!”

 

So, add to your to do list: schedule a lifestyle session with Jess, and treat yourself to an additive, dye, and phthalate free candle from Happy Little Flame. You will be glad you did, for so many reasons!!

Sweet Sitter Session | Lake Geneva Photographer

When the Ranz family asked me to capture this new milestone, I customized a special session to focus on Lydia’s new skills. Her mom said, “We wanted to capture Lydia’s sitting up milestone. The baby years go by so quickly and they truly change each and every day. We like to represent these fleeting phases in the best way possible, with professional photography! For our first born we did a newborn, sitting up, and 1 year/standing photo shoot and intend to do the exact same for our second!”

Lake Geneva Photographer

“We were extremely lucky with our first born daughter. She was what is considered a “good” baby and she has always been such a joy. We were told over and over again that she had a “second child” type personality and that we probably wouldn’t get so lucky again with our second! If possible, our second is even “easier”! Lydia is such a delight! She is always laughing and smiling! She has such a spunky personality and we love it!! She is talkative and adventurous!”

All of it! This was our favorite session by far! From start to finish it was fun and we loved watching Lydia just be herself!

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

Sunset + Beach = Magic | Spring Grove Photographer

Having 3 girls myself, I love getting to photograph boys. Their rough and tumble relationship that overflows with energy is so much fun to capture.

Lake Geneva Photographer

But I know, inside that boy energy, is a fierce love. And seeing them love on their momma melts my heart every time. And seeing her splash them in the face is pretty sweet too!

Lake Geneva Photographer

Also, this family was featured in my ‘what to wear’ guide. Isn’t her dress adorable?!?! Perfect for a beach shoot!

 

Lake Geneva Photographer

Just a reminder, if you have a beach shoot with me… don’t forget a towel and an extra set of clothes!
