I’m on a roll, this will be two blog posts in one week!  Here’s a session I did with my very expressive niece Valentina. She’s turning into such an amazing little person. I am surprised by the things she does all the time.  Here she is looking very, very quiet…shy even. 

But don’t let her fool you… this little diva is a LOUD one! She has the full-out belly laughter down pat!

She can also be sneaky…

And playful…

And just absolutely adorable and sweet.

And this last one is a few weeks later… but again, she is just so darn lovable… right?!

It’s been over  a month since my last post – it’s been a busy few weeks!  I promise, there are more images on the way! Between travelling to Princeton (post coming soon – even though I didn’t have my ‘real camera’ with me), second shooting a couple weddings, flying to NYC for an engagement session, and the rest of the life I have had in between, there have also been some little cuties that I’ve had the pleasure of photographing. The beginning of October started off with this gorgeous little girl named Milan.  She was just starting to learn to stand up on her own when we did this session and was torn between crawling and cruising around on the furniture. Nevertheless, she looked absolutely adorable no matter what she did! Here are a few of my favorites from this session:

You know how we women always say this baby is so cute, I want to bite her? Yes, that’s how I feel about this little one.  But I refrained from doing so. No babies were harmed during the shooting of this session.

A few family portraits that I loved:

Even though Milan looks squished, I love the feeling of this one Debbie and Dean are so in love with her.

Debbie, Dean, & Milan – love you all so much! Thanks again for letting me share this time with you to document your lives!

There’s been a lot going on this past month and I’m still catching up on my blogging! Fall is definitely my favorite time of year! Here are a few things I’m working on, starting with these adorable little girls:

Besides sweet little girls in their costumes, I worked with some fabulous models on a trash the dress session a few weeks ago:

More coming soon!

Welcome little Sam to the blog! He just turned a year old and was a non-stop smiling machine for the entire shoot! He was playing hide and seek with me from the moment I arrived. Adorable!

They live up in Lincoln Square and there were so many different parks to walk through, and on such a gorgeous day…

This was at the fountain in Lincoln Square. Sam was having a blast!

What a cutie!

I’ll leave you with my favorite moment from that day. Pete and Lynn are so in love with their little one, and after spending just a little bit of time with them I can understand why.

 Thanks for such an incredible session!

Another gorgeous little butterfly graces the blog today Meet little Alexis, who is currently three months old! When Deana contacted me about this shoot she had butterfly wings on her mind… I had no idea she’d be choosing my favorite color in the world – purple!  (insert happy dance here!) And on this gorgeous doll, the photo shoot was a dream. Here are a few images, enjoy!

This was more of an outtake but I love the feeling of it! Her parents are crazy about her, clearly!

Couldn’t you just eat her up?!

Thank you guys for such a great morning!! Hope to see you again soon

There are lots of upcoming posts brewing on the blog! It was a busy weekend full of shoots. Here are a few teasers from my weekend, more coming soon!

A few weeks back, I had the pleasure of photographing little Leia at about 10 weeks old. This was perhaps the easiest photo shoot of all time, and she was more than ready for me, posing like a pro within the first 5 minutes! Here are a few of my favorites from our session.

But it didn’t end there. To top it off, she even snuggled with her dog Lucy for a few more:

And a fun family shot:

Thanks Monica & Chris thanks for having me! I can’t wait to come see you guys again soon!

A precious newborn from a few weeks ago… He didn’t make a peep the entire time, so sleepy! Welcome to the world Saul!

Today I’m breaking the radio silence. Yes, my blog is still alive and kicking! It’s been crazy lately trying to balance between work and school – and I’m at the homestretch! I graduate June 13th

So I thought I’d share something short and sweet (which aptly describes this little girl). I ran across these photos I took earlier this week of my adorable niece Victoria.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone! Do one thing that makes you feel like this:

Baby Elvira was born just before Christmas last year and arrived 2 months early, as one of the tiniest babies you could imagine.  While she’s still very small today, she’s about four months now, and is healthy, beautiful, and so very loved. Just look at this little bundle:

Her parents love her so much!

Here’s to the start of a great weekend!
