{Kevin & Diana} - Engaged!

First it was us, then Zelig, then JC and now Kevin. Another one of Doug's {best} friends from grade school is going to get married and I had the honors of shooting their engagement photos. On a colorful fall day, we soaked up the sun at Millennium Park, but first we started at Sweetwater, where Kevin & Diana had their first {blind} date!

Diana, you are a gorgeous little thing and I can't wait for Michele to photograph your bridal portraits!

We love you guys and can't wait for your wedding next August!!

{Luke} - 6 months

While it feels like Winter already here in Chicago, I wanted to pop in with a sneak peek of Luke's 6 month/family session when it was warmer out!

{Blake} - 1 year

I can't believe it's been a year since I photographed Baby Blake when he was just born! At six months I adored Blake's big blue eyes, and this time was no different. Unlike last time when he was just barely crawling, this time he was on the go, walking around and exploring. But my favorite was when he'd say "Oh woooow!" For his first birthday, his mama threw him a Fall pumpkin party, fitting for her October baby.

{Sophie} - 2 years

I first photographed Sophie when she was just seven months old. Look how much she's changed in her chair!

For her first birthday, Sophie had a colorful owl birthday party {check it out! one of my top three posts!}. But this year for her second birthday, Sophie is all about Elmo...and "Sophie's World".

Sophie, I had a great time singing songs with you! Until next year baby girl!

{Benson} - 3 Months

My nephew Benson is one big boy! I swear he's as big as a six month baby, but he's just three months old! And with Korean tradition, his head was shaved shortly after his 100 day celebration.

Nom nom nom. Double fisting already!

{Ashlee} - 29 weeks

As another task to check off the preparing-for-baby checklist, Chris & Ashlee spent their day in a crash course at the hospital, where you're supposed to learn everything you need to know for child birth in a matter of six hours. {Like anyone can fully prepare you, ha!} But to end the day on a sweeter note, we spent the evening photographing Ashlee's beautiful baby belly at 29 weeks. Being a yoga instructor, I knew Ashlee would look amazing for her maternity session...

Chris, can you believe how far we've come from our college days? We're adults! Married! Raising kids! I can't wait to photograph your baby girl get as she gets so big in the next year!
