Fall is Jill and John’s favorite season. What better time to bring out their little sports fan Jadon for his first photoshoot? At 5 months old Jadon is quite the Illinois State and Toronto Maple Leaf fan. They were right at home surrounded by the beautiful changing foliage – they love the fall so much their home is decorated in the colors of the season. Such a happy family.

Marc and Katie have such a beautiful family. Hard to believe that Joey is 18 months old! Katie was quite the proud momma to see her children cooperate and follow directions and be completely comfortable and candid during our session. At 18 months Joey is learning and exploring the world! Walking, playing and keeping up with big sister Lydia. He’s going to have to be quick; Lydia is a runner and chatting up a storm. Marc shared that this is his favorite session they have had with us. What a wonderful compliment, we look forward to capturing many more milestones with Marc, Katie, Lydia and Joey.

Keeping traditions alive is a huge part of Christmas. These families have all extended their love beyond the bounds of many by adopting a child or children from Ethiopia. Each year a special celebration takes place to keep the culture alive these truly special children were born into. The day was filled with so much spirit and love. We were so lucky to capture this unique Christmas celebration.

Ballet bubble princess, Nola is two years old! This little lady was ready for a fun day. She followed directions perfectly and we got some amazing photos. The day was filled with flower picking (Nola’s favorite!), tiaras, tutus and bubble blowing. Nola is such a sweetheart and has stolen our hearts.

In preparation for the upcoming holiday season Ethan and Sophie decided to do a photo session with us this fall. The fall colors make for a gorgeous background. Their cats Neuske (black) and Bootsie (gray) joined in on the fun. Pets are family too! Ethan and Sophie’s Christmas cards are sure to be stunning.

The time is near, in just a few short days Devon and Greg will begin their journey as man and wife. These love birds must be on cloud 9. Let’s take one last look at this happy couple before they tie the knot. We can’t wait to photograph their wedding this Saturday.

Neta and Mike are a super fun couple, always on the go. One of their favorite things to do is to “ride.” That’s right
Mike is a Harley man and Neta is a sassy biker babe. They’ve even taken the trip up to South Dakota for Sturgis.
During our visit to Florida these two slowed down enough for a Harley photo session!

As soon as Fritz heard we were coming he put on his fanciest tuxedo – he only likes to look his best!
Feline parents and animal lovers, Missy and Dave love their kitty and couldn’t resist a session with their baby.
