Engaged....

This lovely, lovely couple is getting married this coming May! It was wasn't toooo cold out, for February in Illinois! We got soooooo many great shots of them, it was totally worth it anyway :)

..I wanted to post this one - just because I just like it. It was hard to choose (like usual!). I'll share lots more another day soon so you can more of this cute, cute couple!

6 months....

...IS MY FAVORITE AGE! Even though this is not a all 'smilie' image - she was smilie, mind you!- but even so, THIS is one of my favorite images of the session...the colors are so yummy! ...yes, thats right, I said yummy! I had to post it as my sneak-peak for her momma and grandma too ;) ...I cant proof these until Tuesday and it's gonna about kill me to wait!!!!

Takes the cake...

This is quite possibly the happiest and cutest 3 month old, ever! Look at him?!?!?! OMGosh, I could just keep him. He was soooooo great and look at all the pics?! This is just a handful - the kid is just adorable, that's all there is to it! I love so many of these its not even funny, I had to end my posting night with this little bundle of cuteness!

9 months!

You all know hwo this is...she's one of the 1st faces you see when you enter my website!!! Well, she's 9 months now! Time goes by waaaaaay to quickly anymore. It seems like she was JUST out here for 6 months!! I'm so sad shes getting so "old" but yet hellooooooo look how cute she is?!?!? Oh such a sweetie face!! I had to post some, I love the one in b&w where she is eatting the bowl, haha...such a sign of this age! ....enjoy all the cuteness to come!!!

Sweet, sweet newborn...

First of all, let me start by saying...I have been being a total blog slacker!!! I have been doing really great with my project365, but here?! Not so much!!!! I'm so sorry!! I'm gonna post a few sessions tonight and try and make up a little for being so rude to my blog ;)

________________________________________

This is one of my newest baby planners!!! She is the SWEETEST little thing...oh dear, I just had such a great time at her session. I just have a feeling in my tummy that her whole year is gonna rock. Her momma is a total sweetheart, it was a pure pleasure to meet her and spend a couple hours with them both. And to top it off, I got to shoot this session in thier home and use all natural light... which is like my most favorite thing in the whole wide world!!! We got so many awesome, awesome, awesome shots....I was squealing with joy while I was proofing them, haha! ...I could talk forever, but instead I'll just show ya lots of pretty's!! Enjoy!

Teaser

Oh my sakes - it was SO hard for me to choose ONE image as a little sneak peak! I got so many huge smiles and he is SO totally adorable!!!! I decided to go with a little smile for now, but I'll have to post more later - I had so much fun!! Look at that happy sweet face! I just wanted to kiss him, hehehe!!!

Post Office!!

Hey guys, just a quick post!!!

For those of you out there waiting on your orders in the mail, they are going out TODAY! I can finally make it to the post office, so out they go!! I'm SO terribly sorry for the extra time due to having no vehicle (for well over a week, BOO! but all better now :) ). You guys know how I'm a little "obsessed" with my turn-around time being as fast as possible so these extra days having your orders were no fun for me!!! Thank you so much for being so great about it, you guys all are AWESOME!

Enjoy!!!!! Thanks again everyone, have a GREAT week!!
