I can’t tell you what a blast I had last Saturday with Rory and Tess exploring Lighthouse Beach in Evanston. I had never been there before and it has already become one of my favorite beaches, parks and playgrounds around the city. We had a glorious day to be outside, too. But the biggest reason we all had so much fun is because of Rory and Tess’s mad modeling skills. These two sisters continually cracked me up. Just a great time all-around. It was so nice meeting you, Sarah and Kevin!
Crissy and Rob seem to have had an unfortunately string of bad luck on past photo shoot days. Chaotic, last minute changes in work schedules have distracted them. Crazy inclement weather made for uncomfortable conditions for their little one, Austin. You name it…it happened. But last Saturday morning, the stars seemed to align and Crissy, Rob, Austin and I had a blast playing around together in Millennium Park. The weather was picture perfect, the park was uncharacteristically empty, and this beautiful family of three was finally able to relax, smile, laugh and enjoy some time together…no strings attached. Austin, you did an incredible job! Thanks for being so smiley. I loved playing hide-and-seek with you among your favorite bears in the park. And Crissy and Rob, I really hope you enjoy the photos! Hopefully you can look at these for years to come and remember what a good time you had together. It was great meeting you!
Last week I had the chance to meet charming little Elizabeth out by the Planetarium on a beautiful afternoon. Her parents call her Birdie, which I just adore. It’s sweet and sassy and suites her happy-go-lucky personality perfectly. Birdie did an outstanding job modeling two cute outfits, the first complete with shoes which squeaked when she walked (a skill she has down pat, by the way!) and the second being her birthday girl ensemble, which she will get to don again in just a few short days for her big first birthday party. This location has special significance for Meaghan and Matt…they got engaged here several years ago. I’m so thrilled we were able to make more special memories there with Birdie last week. Have fun celebrating Birdie’s big day and it was so great meeting you three!
James just got a new partner in crime! Meet his adorable baby sister, Anna. She rocked her first photo shoot last week in a few darling outfits, and was even patient enough to let us try putting her in a basket to fulfill our creative vision. Thanks Anna! It was nice to meet you, Courtney and Dan! Congratulations again on your beautiful new addition.
Swoon! I couldn’t get enough of this darling little peanut when I had the chance to meet him last week. Jack did a fantastic job with his newborn photo shoot, and mommy Cristina had some really fun and sweet props ready and waiting for us to play with. Cristina, it was so nice meeting you! I had a blast and really hope you enjoy the photos (as well as this precious newborn stage with Jack!)
