It was pouring rain when we started our session together. But, Oliver and Henry were full of energy and amazing smiles…they were little rays of sunshine. We had so much fun playing around inside, that before we knew it, the rain let up and we were able to sneak outside for a few shots, too. It was so nice to meet you, Brigid and John! Thanks for a fun time.
Just when I thought I couldn’t love this family more…they added another adorable family member! I was thrilled to meet baby Adam last Sunday when the whole gang got together for photos in Lincoln Park. Congratulations, Rachel and Aaron…he’s perfect! As always, Ori, Tali, and their cousin, the new big sis, Arielle were top models and great sports. And that photo of all the dads and their sons? Priceless. I am still laughing about it. (Seth was a good sport, too!) Thanks for a great time Kirsten, Gary, Seth, Lauren, Judith, John, Ori, Tali, Rachel, Aaron, Arielle, and Adam! I had a blast, and hope you all enjoy the photos.
Love these guys! I enjoy catching up with them each year so much. I have been taking their photos since Payton was a toddler and Gemma was a newborn peanut, and it’s so much fun to watch them grow over the years. We had a lovely morning to hang out in Millennium Park together. Thanks for a great time, Diana and Craig! And thanks for being top models, as usual, Payton, Gemma, and Dominic! Until next time!
After only one hour with Will, I discovered there are a few things that are guaranteed to make him smile. Cuddles from his mom and dad, hanging out with his cousin/best buddy in the world, books, running-running-running, and bubbles. Lots and lots of bubbles. I am so very glad that all of those things came into play during our session because, oh man…nothing beats Will’s smile. He’s an adorable, sweet kid and I had a blast hanging out with him. There is so much love in this family, and it was fun to capture some of it on camera for them. Thanks so much for spending your Saturday morning with me, Juanita and Ross! It was lovely to meet you all.
It is hard to believe that we are half way through August already. Summer is drawing to a close, school is about to begin…and it’s time to start thinking about Fall photography! My favorite season is upon us.
I’ve opened my September-December calendar and there are still dates available for 1-hour Saturday and Sunday family sessions.
I’m also running two blocks of holiday mini sessions at my friend Jennifer Shaffer’s Logan Square Studio. We had such a fantastic time with those studio sessions last year, that they are back by popular demand. Sessions will be held on October 22 and November 6. Here’s the deal with mini sessions: $150, 20 minutes, 15-20 images via download, full rights to the files. Perfect for an updated holiday card photo! And look at how much fun we had last year:

Dates are booking fast, so please email me ASAP if you are interested. Hoping to see many of your smiling faces this Fall, and thanks for making 2016 such a great year for JSP.
WOW! All of these photos came out fantastic!
I am SO proud of my talented daughter!
