Naomi and Olivia

Naomi-and-Olivia-Blog-1Life with kids is unpredictable. I completely get it. Not only is it my business to work with kids every day, but I’m also mommy to a 3-year-old. Grace, Dan, and I were thrilled when we had beautiful fall weather for our session at Montrose Harbor last Sunday morning. What no one could possibly account for was the fact that little Naomi would come down with a bad last minute cold. Poor sweetie was just miserable, and the session definitely didn’t go as any of us had planned. Still…see what two beautiful little top models and 15 minutes of shooting can get you? Grace and Dan, I feel so bad that we had to cut our time together short. But I really believe that when it stops being fun for my little friends, it’s not worth it. I hope both of the girls are on the mend (and you both stay healthy, too!) It was great to see you four again.

Eleanor, Lila, and Cricket explore Scoville Park

Eleanor-and-Lila-Blog-1I got to spend last Saturday morning hanging with two of my favorite sisters, and their new puppy on a perfect fall morning. It doesn’t get much better than that! Eleanor and Lila were all smiles as we explored Scoville Park in Oak Park together, and their new furry pal, Cricket, is just adorable. Grandma and Grandpa were also in town visiting, and even the family au pair, Charlotte, participated. It was wonderful to catch up with you and your crew, Sarah and Eric! Thanks for a great time.

Make Your Own Sunshine

Bryn-Mawr-Blog-1We had a nice, but overcast morning for our photo shoot last week. So what did we do? We found sunshine elsewhere! I had the best time exploring the Bryn Mawr area with this family. There was running, jumping, cartwheels, and tons of smiles. It’s always a great time when the four of us chum around for an hour. Thanks for a great time!

Happy Birthday Becky!

Happy-Birthday-Becky

 “I could never love anyone as I love my sister.”

I modified Lousia May’s quote ever so slightly, as I only have one sister…but the sentiment is completely applicable. She’s the Amy to my Jo, my 3-years-younger twin. The older we get (I know, I know…let’s not mention age on a birthday!), the luckier I feel to have been blessed with a sister. I am so thankful for her unwavering loyalty, friendship, love, and support. I couldn’t be prouder of everything she has accomplished, and I’m excited for all of the wonderful and exciting things yet to come in her life. I’ll always be your biggest fan, Becky Soares. Have a wonderful birthday tomorrow. Remember that no matter how much older you get, you’ll always be our Baby Bird. I’m so sad we can’t be there to partake in the annual shopping/eating extravaganza that is Soares family birthday tradition, but I am already counting down the days until we can all be together again for the holidays. And looking through these old photos of stinky London phone booths and gorgeous glaciers makes it obvious we are due for a big family vacation soon! Love you and miss you, seester.
