Pretty Little Princess {Lake County IL, Newborn Photographer}

This little princess was so adorable it was hard to contain myself in selecting what photos to share with you!  Before we get to the princess do you remember this adorable little couple with their puppy? Yeah…now you can see what I mean with having a hard time selecting photos.  This little peanut was so good during our time together. I love when parents add a personal touch or two to their session.  This can be in the form of a family blanket or dad’s hockey jersey! This little lady already has daddy wrapped around her little finger.  But can you really blame him… Oh…and don’t worry…fur brother also got into the family photo action!

Take a peek at our time together!

Week 4 of 2015 {Lake County IL, Photographer}

Another week…another fun set of photos!  What fun happened this week…

I enjoyed some hot cocoa, shared a favorite nail polish color, snuggled with my little fur baby, and I’m waiting patiently to turn some bananas into yummy bread!  The other fun thing going on this past week was joining in on a focus group with an amazing photographer!  She is pushing us to realize our dreams and move forward towards achieving them.  She’s giving us the little push out of our comfort zone we all need to experience.  I have a feeling that great things are about to happen and I promise to share with you the fun things I learn!  If you are interested, you can sign up for information on joining Jenna when her course goes live…www.jennakutchercourse.com

Week 3 of 2015 {Lake County IL, Photographer}

Another week of photos!  How long do people say it takes to turn something into a habit?  21 days?  If so, I’m coming up on my 21 days.  I won’t lie…this week had some challenges. It’s hard to balance a 9-5 job, family, and a photography business. But one thing is certain…I’m loving how I’m growing and being challenged to think creatively at least for a few minutes each day.  How are your resolutions holding up?  Are you achieving them…or at least making some strides towards your goal?

If you’ve dropped your goal…it’s ok. Figure out what was causing you to fail (too hard of a goal, time balance issues, etc.) and then try new solutions to get yourself back on track.  It doesn’t matter how many times you fail so long as you keep getting back up and trying.  Success will come!

What is your favorite photo from the last week?  I’m a fan of the three glass bottles…but my heart does perk up with the little love note from my hubby…

Week 2 of 2015 {Lake County IL Photographer}

Another week has gone by and I’m still following through with my photo a day!  Did you see my first week of 2015?  It was a short little one but still fun…you can recap here.

I’m finding I love doing this…sometimes it will take me all day to come up with my idea for a photo and other days I wake up knowing exactly what I want to photograph.  I’m finding that the key to taking a great photo is seeing light…a little weird I know but my heart sings when I see some dramatic light filtering in through the window or I see how the reflection of our lamp is casting a great little shadow on objects on the table. Light adds character to a photograph and helps give the image meaning, a story. My favorite photo this week was my tree of halo oranges.  I love the shadows and color.  This photo was actually taken in our living room using our end table lamp. My husband may have given me a crazy eye or two as he saw me carefully balancing a bunch of oranges on our end table but he admits the outcome is pretty cool.  I hope to get this photo printed up and hung up in our kitchen.

Cute As A Button Bump {Lake County IL, Maternity Photographer}

Be forewarned you are about to experience super little bump cuteness!

This couple was too much to handle during our session together…trust me, you’ll understand when you see how cute they are…and I had such a hard time picking a few photos from their session to share with you!  Not only are they adorable and sweet but they are also fur parents! They have two cute little cats that made sure to get in on the photo action during our time together.

I loved how mom picked out the perfect colors for her photos. Does she not look so adorable in everything she put on?!?!  Dad was also so cute…he would gently touch Mom’s little bump during the session…the sweet little touches that make you just go “Awe” but not in the cheesy way at all…in the super cute, he is going to be a great dad way.

I just got news that their little one arrived and I can’t wait to meet their newest addition!

Time for your cuteness overload!
