Gina and Kaba

I had a WONDERFUL time with Gina and Kaba!  They were visiting Chicago and wanted their engagement pictures done which I thought was just so much fun.  Their laughter is contagious and their love for one another is easily visible.  They live apart now but their wedding will be in October!  They actually met in college at St. Ambrose in Davenport (the school my brother went to actually!) and from there everything just fell into place.  As usual, I’m much better with the picture telling than the writing, so here you go!

My new 2nd shooter?

Because it’s been awhile since you’ve seen Aiden….

and he found the shutter button….so here’s one of his “pictures”

I don’t think I’ll be taking him with me anytime soon but he is quite adorable!

Mr. P’s 6 Month Photos

I kept these under wraps through the holidays because I knew they were using them as holiday cards and gifts so I didn’t want to spoil the surprise! And then I completely forgot about them but I’m SO excited to share them with you! 6 month photos are so much fun! And this family is just way too adorable!

Little Mr. J

I’m SO excited for this session! I’ve had a ton of newborns this year and I just can’t wait to show you them! Every session is very different so it’s fun to see the changes and of course this one is great because it incorporated their first baby, their dog! I’m a sucker for dogs, you know this. So it was fun to have a cute fluffy white dog and a tiny newborn! Mr. J’s parents are a wedding couple from this past year (you don’t have to do the math, Sara and Joe were just about halfway through the pregnancy when they got married and had just found out it was a boy that week!). I don’t always see my couples this soon after getting married but I was so happy to see Sara and Joe again! I loved every time I took their pictures and this session was not any different! They are so smitten with Mr. J and it shows!

First Look Moments!

I get asked a lot about first looks and whether or not to do them. I always leave that option ultimately up to the couple because it’s your wedding, not mine! I can work with whatever you give me but when there’s timing or sunlight issues, sometimes a first look isn’t a bad idea but not necessary at all! I will say that it is a very private moment for my couples a lot of the time. It’s a great time for them to talk with one another and get the jitters out. It’s never made the ceremony less meaningful. Here’s a couple of images from first looks so you can get an idea and if you have any questions on them, let me know!
