Declans Debut.

Erin, TC & 6 month old Declan will be moving to Oak Park very soon leaving their Downtown Loft for the burbs. I went down to get some pictures to remember their first family home by. The next time I see them they'll be neighbors! :)

Thanks for having me out folks. It was great to play in your space and I LOVED that you gave me free rein to create. Good luck in your new home.

Rajan is ONE! (already!?)

It seems SO recently that I was taking pictures of a baby Rajan at the family's new home in Chicago. Now they are all settled in & Rajan is crawling around at 100 miles an hour and doing his best to keep my job interesting. :) Congratulations on your first year Rajan!

 I'm looking forward to seeing him running in a few months. That will be a REAL challenge! :)

Alicia & Ken

Alicia got in touch a few weeks ago to arrange a session with her & her boyfriend Ken who was in town for a few days before heading back to his Division in Japan before being deployed to the Middle East.
I was very happy to be able to do it and they were so much fun to hang with on a very pretty afternoon in Lincoln Park.

  Have a safe trip Ken & get back soon, You're going to be missed!

Madelynn - Tutu & Cake

It seem like just yesterday Madelynn had her first photo session with me at 6 months and it's already time to celebrate her first BIRTHDAY!? Where DOES the time go?

 The family plus 'Ballerina Doll'

 Madelynn making us Tea in her brand new Kitchen built by her very handy Dad!

 Appropriate headgear!

 And the SMASH CAKE! - Now notice the difference between Madelynn's approach & Evan's (previous blog entry) 

 Madelynn doesn't even taste the first couple of lumps of cake but graciously offers them around the room.

 When she finally does put a piece in her mouth, she looks just a little sad, Yes it's tasty but what's it doing to my figure?!

 Here Mom & Dad - Help me out with this.

 And a handful of Cheerios make this a well rounded meal!

Awesome. How CUTE is she?!
