Well I have been busy again lately after spending a week at Leadership Lab I am refreshed and rejuvinated.  Now am back to work taking pics and sharing them with all of you.  This weekend I took some pics of a friends one month old.  He got a little grumpy for a bit but we still got some great shots.

looks a little suprised

My fave

Cute collage

Jessica and Mark's wedding

I know it has been a while since I have posted but I had surgery on my hand a few weeks ago and have been recovering and then working on the photos I took of a wedding at the end of may.   Mark is on the fire department with my brother.  I did their engagement portraits in the fall and then took well over 1,000 pictures of their wedding.  So it took a while to get them all edited and off to the printer.  Now that they are done I thought I would share some with everyone.

The crying baby makes the decisions.

Well sometimes when you are planning things it just doesn't work out.  We planned on taking outdoor photos this Saturday but the snow had other plans for us.  So we did it inside on a background and then the baby had other plans.  We got a few family poses then little 9 month old Neveah decided she was done and started crying and wouldn't stop.  So I took a few more of the older kids and we called it quits.  But we still got some good shots.

The family shots before the crying started.

Has her paci in her mouth now.

Still having fun will effects using what I got.

Outside Portraits

I am so excited that it is warming up.  I had about enough of winter and am enjoying the warmer weather.  We have all our windows open today and the fresh air is wonderful.  It is also time to start thinking about getting some portraits done outside as well.  Whether it is just the kids or the entire family we can get some great outside portraits and enjoy the weather as well.

Individual Portraits

Fun with the family

The boys

Mom and girls

Let them play.  Playground shots are great fun.

We have many special effects to add.

Hanging with the Nephews

So I am going to try to post new photos every week even if it means I go back and bring up some older ones.  This weekend is the first in the last month that we have not traveled to Huntley where my brother-in-law and his family lives.  We have visited them for various reasons and I have taken my camera each time.  I just wanted to show you how you don't have to be on a backdrop or posed to get great and fun shots with the kids.

Gotta love little tootsies

Happy 4th Birthday Ethan!!!

Babies

I have always loved babies and they can be fun to take portraits of too.  Here are a few images from a recent infant session.

I love the little hands and feet shots.

Blanket shots are one of my faves. They are cute when they are little on their tummy and when they are bigger sitting up.

She was just a little doll.
