happy smiles,
giggles sweet,
love doth render hearts complete…

I just love sweetie sessions… 45 minutes of total joy. They’re long enough to capture fifteen very special images, but short enough not to wear anybody out. ; ) It’s always a treat to catch up with families as I’m capturing the sweet kids and relationships. These were just a few from Saturday:
Love!     show 1 comment Amy, these are wonderful! You always do an amazing job at capturing such beautiful pictures! I can’t wait to see the rest! It was great chatting with you during the session too. So here’s the thing… I do many, many photo shoots, and one thing I know for sure is that little boys put up with a lot. After all, it’s usually a female (mom) who plans the shoot, coordinates the outfits, chooses the location… you get the idea. Little boy’s sisters will oooh and ahhh over their adorably perfect new dresses and hair bows, twirling gracefully to show each little ruffle. Boys? Well… we (their moms) throw them a cute shirt and jeans and tell them to be on their best behavior, pleeeeaaazzee, and we’ll get them a toy from the Target dollar section when it’s done. Yes, we want to see their personality shine through in the pictures. But we may not always be putting them in their element. ; ) Here’s your chance… You bring the boy, I’ll bring the cape, and we’ll meet to let him run around like a superhero while I capture it through my lens. This is, obviously, one of those shoots you do “just because”… perhaps your little guy has put up with a lot through countless other sessions, or is needing a little extra time spent with just you, or has a big blank space on a wall in his room that needs something fun and boy-ish. Whatever the reason, I’ll be there, Superman cape in one hand, camera in the other, to capture your boy just being, well… a boy!!! Please don’t think I’m excluding your sweet little princesses here… we’ve got something planned for them later in the summer. ; ) But if you think this might be a fun thing to do with your little guy, head on over to the scheduler and sign up! Up, up, and away!!!!!
no comments A few weeks ago, I began shooting the Mother’s Day sessions from the gift certificates that we sold. They have been SO special, and each one different from the next! This session was a true challenge, at least in theory… an absolutely lovely mom signed up for a session, then wrote to tell me she has… ready? SIX kids! Not that six is a crazy number, but get this… she’s got five handsome boys and one beautiful little peanut of a girl. I’m not gonna lie to you… I was When I’m photographing siblings, I like the pictures to feel related, but not repetitive. I try to envision how they’ll look up on a wall next to each other. For this session, I challenged myself to come up with seven different ways to photograph these sweethearts using the same space of the studio… a window that gets absolutely delicious light in the late afternoons. I’ve gotta say… I really loved how the pictures turned out. This mama is such a delight and it really shines through in these images. Take a peek:
Can you even stand it?!? SUCH a bunch of cuties!!! Thank you so, so much, sweet K, for allowing me to capture you and your babies! : ) ……………………………………………………. Today I went on a field trip to the Brookfield Zoo with my first grader and her class. It was a really fun day, despite the fact that my feet are KILLING me right now and I’m seriously considering a long, hot bath and bedtime asap… hehe. : ) My kids go to an incredible school in Naperville where they’re loved and challenged and encouraged to learn for much deeper reasons that getting good grades. Today’s zoo trip was just awesome because the kids have been studying animal kingdoms and phyla (yes I had to just google that word!) all year and you could definitely tell as they ventured from animal to animal. So cool. I didn’t bring along my camera. I totally should have, of course, but got lazy as we were walking out the door and decided to leave it behind and just focus on the kids instead. ; ) I did have it with me last Saturday, though, when I took the kids out to Cantigny for a few hours… here are pics from “our” tree (if you’ve taken the Sweet Shots Level One class you know what I’m talking about!):
I am seriously enjoying the stage we’re in right now. I just sold our stroller on Craigslist (sniff, sniff!) and we are on to bigger adventures… so exciting!!! show 1 comment Thank you so much Amy for the beautiful images. I just love them and YOU! My kids and I will treasure them. OXOX Katie I do so love the spring… it makes me feel like a bird that’s just been set free! : ) This family was, as always, a total joy to capture. Pure sweetness!
Spring perfection!
