Occasionally (although honestly not as often as I would like) the subject of my photo session is my two little girls and the loves of my life. My youngest, Harper, just turned 18 months and my oldest, Emerson is almost 4 (aah!) so we went down to the Woodburn Tulip Festival yesterday to get some…

Bellies & Horses

Celebrating in the City

Emily is about to turn 14 and Mom wanted some shots of her city girl in the city to celebrate her birthday. Isn’t she gorgeous? She definitely has the “smiling with your eyes” trick down. I had such a fun time shooting her tonight.

The O’Brien Family

I spent the morning with the wonderful O’Brien family. Their sweet little girl, Cora is almost one and such a doll. I will be forever grateful to all of the people walking their dogs at George Rogers Park this morning that brought out her beautiful smile.
