2014 Review {Lake County IL, Newborn Photographer}

I am beyond blessed…this little dream of mine is growing every day! I have met so many amazing families this past year that at times I feel like I have to pinch myself. As I sit and look back at 2014 I am in awe of the moments I have captured for families and the trust that you have given to me in capturing these moments. I can’t wait to see what 2015 has in store for me and you! I can’t wait to watch all of my little babies grow up and meet all the new little ones waiting to arrive. I can’t wait to watch couples start their lives together and families celebrate milestones.
From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU! You have made 2014 an amazing year!

Take a peek at what fun I had during 2014!

Patiently Waiting {Lake County IL, Maternity Photographer}

Spending time with soon-to-be parents is always such a pleasure. You can feel the mix of emotions they carry around: joy, anticipation, wonder and love. For 9 months they wait patiently for their child to come into this world.

Photographing these two was such a treat. Lake County has such amazingly beautiful nature preserves all around and we decided to visit the Rollins Savanna for this photo session. We lucked out when the sun decided to peak out after a prior night of thunderstorms and a morning full of thick gloomy clouds. In my opinion though, the sun was purely an added bonus to the glow this mommy-to-be and daddy-to-be carried around…Don’t you agree?

8 months down and only one more to go before we get to meet this little bundle!

A Special Delivery {Richmond IL, Maternity Photographer}

Richmond Illinois Maternity Lake Pictures

I grew up in a small town very different from the Chicago suburbs I now call home. It was an area were you could sit outside and enjoy the peace and quite of the land surrounding you and not hear cars humming or horns honking. I loved knowing that the closest mall was 30 minutes away and that you could tell who was outside based on kids laughter. Visiting Mandy and Nick last week brought back all those memories to me. They live in a cute little area that was perfect for their maternity shoot before their little one arrives in July. I loved that in addition to the peaceful home these two share they also view their puppy as their “first” born. She was such a pleasant addition to the session and kept us all on our toes with her curiosity and fearlessness. I have a feeling this puppy will be the perfect guardian for the little baby.
