I had the best time getting to know this sweet family last Saturday as we wandered around Lincoln Park together. Ryder was an absolute top model, and I couldn’t get enough of his smiles! He showed off his walking skills, smelled some flowers, snuggled with mommy and daddy…it was all just too adorable. We wrapped our session in a very special place…on a bench that is dedicated to Ryder’s sister, who passed away when she was 10 days old. I feel such a deep conection with Nirali and Dax, and was so honored to be able to capture these happy photos for them. Thanks so much for hanging out with me, you guys!

These guys! Amid all the rain we have had lately, Eleanor, Lila, Sarah, Eric, their adorable pup, Cricket, and I lucked out with a gorgeous morning to hang out together in Lincoln Park last Saturday. It’s always a pleasure to see this family, and I know I say it every year, but I can’t believe how much the girls have grown since last year! Eleanor, you’re just about as tall as I am now, and Lila, you’re not far off! I guess I’ll bring my step-stool for next year’s pics. I love Eleanor’s new haircut, and all of Lila’s sassy poses and willingness to model. They did a lovely job (you too, Cricket!), as always, and I loved catching up with everyone. Thanks again for another great time, Sarah and Eric!

It’s Rose and Charlie time! We had the best day to explore Independence Grove together a few weekends ago. And look at those smiles! Charlie and Rose…you rock! We had a lot of laughs as we ran and played and goofed around together. I love this family! It was great to catch up with you Elizabeth and Jim…thanks for a wonderful time.
