MOVING!

My family is MOVING!! Which means a FEW things:

1. You will probably not be able to get ahold me at this moment.
2. I will be returning all phone calls and emails AFTER Wednesday.
3. I look forward to blogging soon...but will be "out of commission" for a few days!

Happy moving to US...and happy day to YOU!!!

Baby Claire

Baby Claire has ARRIVED! Rebecca and Eric are her proud parents and I had the priviledge to shoot Claire's infant session. Enjoy some of my favs. of the session!!!

Her adorable room!!!


She already has her first pair of Converse shoes!


Claire is sooo sweet!!


Proud daddy, Eric.


One of my favorite things about an infant session is taking pictures of their little hands and feet. Gotta love Claire's sweet little hand!


Big yawn...




Look at all that hair! I would like to note that I NEVER experienced that...Jadyn was bald till she was 2 1/2. LOL...so i loved that they could put a sweet bow in Claire's hair.


Safe and sound in Mom's arms!


Little angel!


Now a happy family of 3!




Little cuddles for the little girl!

Jake & Lauren were friends as kids...but their love story started this year. They were very excited about they wedding ceremony and starting their life together. It was a wonderful wedding and reception at Jake's parent's house...the same place where Jake and Lauren used to take walks together through the woods. Enjoy some of my favorites of the day!

Aaron and Viki's Wedding Day

Aaron and Viki are an amazing couple that I had the pleasure to shoot their wedding day. I have so many fun memories from this wedding.....Aaron and Viki were so easy going, despite RAIN on their wedding day. We prayed, and would run out for pictures, then take refuge while it rained....and repeat. But they couldn't have cared less that it rained, they enjoyed every moment of their wedding day and I did, too. Here are some of my favorites from their BIG day!


Viki getting ready in an adorable salon in Old Town Saint Charles...such a beautiful bride!


The beautiful St. Charles Borromeo Church


Aaron and Viki LOVE music and it was an important part of their wedding day.


The wonderful wedding party. (Plus one of my previous brides, April, was in the wedding party, too! I love seeing my brides...they are the best!!!)


The gorgeous couple!!!


FAVORITE of the day....this was just seconds before it started to pour...it actually gave a really cool "look" to the sky!


The girls!


Loved the lighting in this picture...plus, I always like a good walking picture! DOUBLE BONUS!


Viki, just gorgeous...plus one of the sweetest brides ever!


Aaron, the handsome groom!


If it is going to rain on your wedding day, you have to get a FEW in the rain!


Introducing Mr. and Mrs. Weir!


The toasts were wonderful...and brought the couple laughs and tears!


The sweet 1st dance...Viki & Aaron are so in love and it was so wonderful watching their first dance as husband and wife.


And the bling!!!



Viki and Aaron, congrats on your new married life! I am so excited for you....enjoy married life in Chicago!
