ITTY BITTY! Dont’ forget to bring enough diapers!!

It’s never too early for a photo session.  Lately I have been photographing many newborns.  I often hear that people think that photos of newborns can’t be artistic… I think that couldn’t be farther from the truth!  People have the image of that hospital newborn shot in their minds.  I have had clients bring their newborns in as early as one week old.   A few weeks ago I did this photo session of Will (3 weeks old) with his proud sister Mia and mom Megan.  Hope you enjoy this slide show.    Moms wanted me to remind other mom’s to be sure and bring enough diapers for the session.  Will went through 6 diapers during his photo session!

Kids at heart!

You usually hear me talking about photographing babies or kids that are not old enough to talk back to me.  This week I had the honor of photographing some amazing  grown up dancers!  I don’t just photograph kids… but kids at heart sometimes!    This session was for my client and neighbor Kristen Ramirez owner of Baby Take A Bow (Website).  Baby Take a Bow classes include traditional ballet classes but also offer hip-hop classes for kids who like to get funky! Kristen needed photos of her instructors and staff – here are just a few of the photos from the session and some behind the scenes. I had fun getting in front of the camera!

Newborn Models Needed!

We just got back from our annual photography convention in Las Vegas last week and have so many new creative ideas to photography BABIES UNDER 2 MONTHS OLD!

Common Threads is an incredible non-profit organization that educates children about nutrition, physical well-being and cultural diversity through cooking. I’m excited to volunteer my time for them. I highly recommend that you get involved!

 

Summer is here!

Summer sessions are off to an amazing start! While I love photographing children and families in the studio, it is so much fun to get outside and do something a little different. I have been photographing all over Chicago – The beach, the zoo, the park – all amazing locations to shoot in.
