Chicago and the Angel

I just returned from Chicago were my mother and I went to visit my cousins Tony, Ann and their new adorable son, Samuel. We had a wonderful visit and got to bond with the new member of the family. I adore my cousin Tony and his family, they are so gracious, cool, funny and down to earth despite their wealth. My new cousin Samuel is an absolute doll! He is laid back, loves to smile and is a joy. He still likes to wake his parents up every couple hours at night but they dont seem to mind much anymore. Its wonderful to see my cousin so happy, you can tell Samuel is the light of his life. I have never seen a more involved, educated father than my cousin. He does as much of the caregiving for Samuel as his wife and I think that is so wonderful. Below are some pictures I took of Samuel, what a beautiful boy!

~My first wedding shoot offered many challenges. But in the end some really good shots remained. I want to thank Mr. and Mrs. P for the opportunity to capture their special day- it was an honor. ~

~One of my first test sessions included photographing my dear friend Nicole's three children, the three M's. I adore these kids and their family and have known them their whole lives. They were so easy to shoot and a joy to be around! ~

~One of my first engagement session was of Mary and Alex, two love-birds set to marry next Summer. Their session was wonderful, and I have to say they have been the easiest couple I've shot yet! So into each other and comfortable with the camera-they made my job easy. ~

~ Ah, Mr. and Mrs. B- I just love these two! Funny, unique and two of the coolest people I've ever met...not to mention very dear friends. These two are posing for me a couple months before their three year wedding anniversary. ~

~ Mr. and Mrs. S are here posing for me for their first wedding anniversary. In addition to being family, these two just melt my heart. They've been together for over ten years and still look as though they fell in love yesterday! ~
