Chesleigh's Gorgeous Gwen Session

Chesleigh's Gwen session was perfect for her, because she got to add her favorite people, her sweet sisters and brothers. Plus Chesleigh's Trash the Dress session rocked with the super hot lighting, from my new gear, and we took it easy on the dresses this time and didn't really trash em. You can tell by this first picture, Chesleigh is the best big sister, what a sweet moment!







For Jessica's Sofia Session we threw in a French Flair

So once we heard that Jessica, had a strong affection for France, we first picked a spot that was like the fields of lavender in France. I love the one of her and the one flower. Beautiful, and totally different. Then her second make up look, Anna ( my lovely make - up artist ) did the very slicked back, pulled together look. Jessica looked very Gwyneth Paltrow. Wow, and Jessica's eyes are the most amazing color of blue

Amanda's Sofia - the fashionista session

Amanda did amazing! I loved her super cute style and skirts. Mostly, I loved her personality and her sense of calm confidence, which gave my pictures life and spirit. This session was super special because I got to use my all amazing new lighting set up, I couldn't have done it with out the help of Victoria, my assistant for the day!






Tierra Classic Session

I loved hanging out with Tierra and her friend Jackie Wednesday morning. What cute girls. Tierra rocked her session, perfect check bones, don't you think?! And I look forward to having Jackie in the Fall for her session!

Nicole is a fashionista with classic style

I so enjoyed spending time with Nicole and her mom. I loved Nicole's beautiful smile and her dimples. I loved her classic clothes. My favorite shot is the black and white close up of her eyes, amazing!!! AND loved the we both got into a bit of the water in a brook with her dress, all very very worth it. Nicole was a happy girl, and so was I. Super fun! 








Hayle took the Audrey Session by storm, with some cute boots


I had so much fun with Hayle and her mom Vicki. Hayle is a beautiful strong girl, with lots of determination and I definitely saw that. While at the Arboretum, we just happened upon a row of boots left over from a kids camp they'd had that morning. Hayle just hopped in em, and rocked em. They totally fit with her look and style. And I had personally been dying to do a shoot with boots like these. Next time I want to have a girl in a big dress and boots like these :) hint hint girls.





Juan Rocked the Rocker Session


Juan looks awesome in his hot suits - however it was a hot day, but man he looks great!

Elise looked Stunning during her Audrey Session

It is always so fun to meet the girls, when they arrive to the session, because I talk with them over the phone when I schedule their session, and then we email regarding the details. And so for me, meeting them is fun, because it puts a face with the name and then I am good. Ok, so I am currently loving this beautifully lit white wall at Cantigny. I love this first pic, what an awesome look Elise has. Then it was out to the garden for us, and it was fun, I loved talking to Elise - she is very chill and cool. Okay so I am loving, loving pic's 5 and 6, what awesome eyes and perfect skin, the green behind her is perfect to let her shine :) Just another day at the office for me. Ahh... I love my job, I get to hang out with good people and point out the beautiful qualities that each of us are uniquely blessed with enjoy the day's outside! 








Siobhan's Classic Audrey Session


Siobhan, is my first client from St. Francis this year so I was super excited for our appointment. I so enjoyed the time I spent with Siobhan, she is a super smart girl and is super sweet. I loved her session on Wednesday morning, it happened to be Garden day at Cantigny which was humorous as we dodged the sprinklers. I was  so impressed by her willingness to lay down in a bed of grass. It was worth it! I love that last photo!






Courtney's Sofia Session

Last Wednesday's session with Courtney, was wonderful but by the time we got to the 2nd make up look we were running for cover from the rain, so we rebooked it for this week. 
Ok, so first picture, I can not get over Courtney's perfect hair and skin, and have you seen her eyes, look at how green they are, totally amazing. Courtney's authentic and sweet personality is by what made both Anna and I adore her. Her excitement for the session was so fun, because it totally got us pumped! I love her face looking in the mirror to see her rocker look. Doesn't she look amazing!
