gracyn + kimsey: lifestyle session!

new baby + new big sister!

BLONDEPHOTO_090917_001-3

hello baby gracyn!

this delightful 4-week old baby girl was such a joy to photograph. i loved spending the morning with her + big sister kimsey (don’t you just *adore* their gorgeous names?) – it was a joy watching their amazing mom shannon swoon over them! shannon is good friends with the fabulous kristin demarco – nursery designer + mommy extraordinaire – so it was no surprise that i fell in love with shannon + her girls immediately.

i love seeing mothers interact with their children – there is something wonderfully overwhelming about witnessing that kind of limitless, unconditional love. plus, seeing such tiny perfect replicas of people always excites me! i am totally, completely in awe of babies, families and everything and i feel so lucky to document their lives!

enjoy!

joe + sean: lifestyle session!

chicago love.

BLONDEPHOTO_090912_002_1477

joe + sean + chicago = the time of my life.

i had *the* best time ever running the streets of downtown chicago with joe + sean the morning of their wedding! yes! en route to the hotel with their suits in the car we decided to spare an hour, during which they gave me a mini-tour of chicago’s iconic public art! amazing. it was a gorgeous fall day and they were both so happy + excited – i just love the energy that comes through in these images!

since joe + sean had a private ceremony a few months ago in connecticut (hence the wedding bands) this mini-session was just another excuse to hang out with them and get some great, relaxed photos that represent their love + life in chicago. shooting a lifestyle session the morning of the wedding was a new experience for me and i loved it! we were all giddy with excitement and it was the perfect way to start the day!

enjoy!

BLONDEPHOTO_090901_018_7908

i *loved* meeting up with meghan vince a few weeks ago in baltimore for a very fun lifestyle session! we started in federal hill and worked our way across town to fells point, just in time to catch the sun setting on the pier. love that golden light! meghan was so great to photograph – her energy + excitement were amazing, especially since she was surrounded by everything she loves most! i captured some quick headshots for her new photography business { meghan lynn photography } and then photographed her + her boyfriend jim and their two awesome dogs, zoey + izzy! big thanks to meghan + jim for sharing their evening and their love with me!

enjoy the things that meghan loves…

meghan loves her boyfriend.

baby chase: newborn session.

hey baby!

BLONDEPHOTO_090916_006
baby chase, 9 weeks.

hello (again!) baby chase! just a few weeks ago i met chase for the first time when he was just 5 weeks old! he was cute as could be, but sleepy and hungry during our session! i captured some serene photographs but wanted a little more action, so i popped back over last week for a quick visit and was amazed at how much he had changed! in just a few weeks his little lips are so full, his eyelashes are gorgeously long (aren’t they always on little boys?) and he was far more interested in my camera than before. he grinned and pouted, laughed and yawned, and passed out right at the end…as if on cue :)

enjoy!

anna rose: newborn session.

hello baby!

annarose-newborn

anna rose has arrived!

anna rose is the tiniest baby and *newest* newborn i have ever photographed! at 17 days old and under 8 lbs she is so little and so very perfect! i was thrilled to meet her and amazed that she was so alert throughout our session – her big blue eyes loved my camera! yay!

joe + kristin (her fantastic parents) are thrilled to welcome their third child into the family, and anna rose couldn’t be luckier! this is one of my absolute favorite families – i’ve photographed them many times and i always have a blast and love how the photographs seem to reflect their love so perfectly. they have so much fun together it’s contagious, and i know jules and alexander are so excited to have a new baby sister!

kristin really just wanted photographs of anna rose, but i couldn’t help capturing the amazing moments between mommy + baby! kristin is such a wonderful, loving, gentle, and understanding mother – watching her with anna rose in her arms made me so happy :)

kristin + joe: it’s truly been a joy and a privilege to document your lives so far and i can’t wait for our next session in a few months! thank you for continuing to trust me with preserving your memories.

enjoy!
