hands ~ i heart faces {chicago child portrait photographer}
October 10, 2011
Hands are intriguing to me. I kind of catch myself staring at my husband’s hands a lot. They make me feel protected, comforted, and loved. We’ve been married almost 20 (twenty?!?!) years and I still get warm fuzzies when he gently holds my hand when we are walking or just watching tv. I also adore my children’s hands. I still make my 5 year old hold my hand when we cross the street. Not because I don’t think he has learned how to do it carefully, but mostly because it gives me an excuse to have him right next to me and reach out for my hand

Chubby little toddler hands are just some of the best. Love that this little sweetie decided to play peek-a-boo just when I snapped the shutter. Perfect .

making excuses {downers grove child photographer}
September 13, 2011
I love having an excuse to do something fun and creative. Not that I couldn’t just do it without an excuse, but you know, sometimes I feel a little guilty doing things I enjoy creatively just for fun or just for me when there are 329 other things that always NEED to be done… So when I have a reason to go play, it makes it even more fun, right? Like doing our Christmas card every year. We HAVE to have a Christmas card, so I NEED to take the time to make them, right?? I love coming up with an idea, taking hours to get the right image (not literally hours, but my kids think so…), creating the card, seeing it in print, and sharing it through the mail with friends and family. Moving was a great excuse for me to get my kids in front of the camera and think of something interesting for a new address announcement. I like what we got .
And speaking of Christmas cards, I not only love to do our family card, but I would LOVE to help your family have beautiful cards, too! Let me know if you would like to schedule a family session so we can create lovely cards for you to send to friends and family this holiday season! There are some spots open during September and October for sessions. I will be posting card options for this year soon!
aging by the camera {downers grove child portrait photographer}

It’s crazy how sometimes I take a photo of my kids and then I look at it on my computer and I think, “What?? Why does my camera make them look OLDER??” I see them everyday. I kiss them everyday. But somehow seeing them on my computer screen, they look a little different. A different perspective maybe? Or just seeing them still, and motionless in an image… I don’t know, but I am glad that I am capturing them at each stage, whenever I can, before they have completely grown up right in front of us…
Love our girl… She actually likes that the camera makes her look older. It gives her hope that one day people won’t ask if her brother, who is 3 years younger than her, is her twin…
