Any chance that there will be sun?

I received a phone call from a lovely family who lives in Chicago.  They were going to be out here for a short get away and we scheduled a portrait session.  At one point during the conversation, she quietly, hopefully, asked, "Any chance that there will be sun?"  I laughed as some of my Chicago friends have been telling me tales of ice storms and -4 degree weather with wind chill that makes it feel like it is in the -30's- What the heck is up with that wind chill?  It is simply beyond my comprehension.  So yes, I put in a request to the weather powers- that- be and the day was stunningly beautiful.  (And for the record- it was dumping rain the few days preceding and the few days after).  So for you folks freezing in Chicago- here is a sneak peek.

And I HAD to show these in color so you could prove to your friends that it really was breathtakingly beautiful that day....

Seeking Models--- babies under one year

Dear Knee High to a Dragonfly Readers-

I am seeking models for a local commercial photo shoot.  I am looking for mom's and dad's who have babies under the age of 12 months (and ideally who are *not* walking).  Both the parent and the baby will be in the image.  If you are curious, please email me through my website for more info. and put "Commercial" in the session type field. 

TIA!!!

Party Girl

This sweet little girl is so alert.  She fought sleep - just to watch what is going on.  Her eye contact was amazing- considering that she is less than 2 weeks old!!!

Smiling- Sleeping baby

This baby boy is such a doll.  He was content and so sweet during our session.

I also captured some beautiful smiles- here is a tiny smile (you will have to wait to see the BIG smiles)
