Sinn {4 Month Old Session}

Sweet baby Elli came to my studio today to hang out with me and to get some Illini and Valentine-day portraits done!  I just love her sweet cheeks, blue eyes, big bows and bright smile.  Take a look and feel free to comment on her cuteness... her Aunt Carrie gives you permission! ;-)

Sparks {Birthday Session}

H turned five today!  I think it is an awesome gift that her grandmother takes her each year to get her portraits done on her birthday!  I love that idea!!  Little H was so sweet!  She had a cool personality!  I learned that she loves her kitten Gracie, my dog Cooper and the color pink!  She had many pose ideas of her own and she was quite the professional model!  (I think it comes from years of practice!) ;-)  Take a peek at this adorable little big girl!

In the spirit of our upcoming holiday, I present a Valentine pose!

  

Bedient Family {9 Month Session}

Little A is growing up so fast!  I can't believe she is already 9 months old.  I had the privilege of doing her 3 and 6 month sessions here.  She is developing into such a sweet, easy-going little person.  She loves dogs and her mom and dad!  She is just a joy to have around!  (Have I mentioned that I want her? Lol!)  Anyways, she has this beautiful red hair and STUNNING blue eyes. I just love them!  Early in the shoot, she was playing with one of my props and somehow hit her head on it.  She had a big red bump on her forehead. I wanted to you to see the "before" and "after" editing pictures. She sure did a number.  I'll do my best these next few days to make that bump disappear.  If only it were that easy in real life, right A?

Before and After- Ouch!

SO BIG! 

Painter {January Family Session}

Well, they did it again!  My niece and nephews made for some super adorable models!  They can't help it, they are just naturally A-DOR-A-BLE! ;-) See for yourself!
