Chicago Family Event Photographer | Baby Bump Planning Sneak Peek
Amber Crosby of Baby Bump Planning presented expecting parents with the Baby Dream Gear Class in Chicago. It was a sold-out success!!! She present information and tips about everything a new parent needs to know. From bottles to bags and car seats to strollers. She literally covered everything! Plus Kickspout‘s Leasa Navarro was there to throw in some excellent cloth diaper advice. Parents were able to learn the ins and outs of a plethora of baby gear by touching, trying on and using different products. Plus, there were awesome giveaways and fabulous gift bags!
All of the class participants also received a mini-bump session during the lunch break. Take a look at a few of these glowing mamas.
If you missed this event don’t worry there will be more later this year!!!
Chicago Wedding Photographer | Bachelorette Party with Cupcakes and Wine
I recently flew to Santa Barbara to throw my sister a lovely bachelorette party. We went on a cupcake and wine tasting tour with Santa Barbara Adventure Company and had an amazing time! We tasted at three wineries, had a beautiful catered lunch and ended the day with a cupcake flight at Sarloos and Sons. I mean look at those decadent mini cupcakes, they were so rich. We couldn’t have asked for a better trip, well maybe a little bit less rain ; )
go enjoy cupcakes!!!
Chicago Engagement Photographer | So very close…
I was so thrilled when this couple told me they wanted their dogs to be a part of their portrait session. Right now, Cosmo and I have a four-legged baby, if and when we ever find ourselves in front of the camera he will absolutely be there with us! So needless to say adding two dogs to an engagement session makes things a little more difficult! We had a blast and you can just feel the love radiated through this couple. The bottom image is my absolute favorite. Every time they go to the dog park they walk across this fallen tree – so it’s kind of like their own family tree. Love, love, love!!!
disclaimer: they are not actually engaged… yet. I feel it is so very close though ; )
Chicago Child Photography | Oh Brother!
I have been photographing this family before their youngest was even born! So naturally, anytime I get the opportunity I am there in a heartbeat. It has been so amazing to watch these boys grow up. They truly are the most well behaved and loving brothers I have ever met. Congratulations to M&S for raising such lovely gentlemen =) As always, it was a joy to photograph your boys!!!
Chicago Baby Photographers | Last minute cutie
Right before leaving town, we were lucky enough to schedule this little cutie’s one year baby portraits. She was a tough cookie to crack but once Mom and Dad teamed up we got some beautiful smiles. I loved her layered, coordinating outfit, it was perfect for the beautiful afternoon we had. Thanks again for a wonderful session!!!
