2009 was the year it began. As I was planning my wedding I fell in love with photography. There were so many pretty pictures out there, and I wanted to be able to create beautiful pictures on my own. That year, I received my first dSLR camera as a wedding gift from my husband. I don’t think he knew what he got himself into because I’ve been obsessed ever since--reading, learning, and taking classes. I began shooting sessions in the fall of 2010 and knew that I found my passion.

Why do I take pictures? It’s a simple answer really. Pretty photos make me happy. And being able to provide others with pretty photos that make them happy makes me even happier, cheesy as it may sound. I feel blessed to be able to spend an hour or two photographing a moment in time in other’s lives.

Besides my photography life, I am a wife to my college sweetheart Raul, and the two of us are dedicated alums to our Alma Mater Cornell University. My Beagle/Pointer mix Marty is like a son to me, and might just be the cutest “perma-pup” ever. During the week when I’m not shooting, you can find me at work in the world of healthcare administration. I’m a lover of good food, tasty wine, and craft beer. Chips and salsa are my weakness, as are freshly baked chocolate chip cookies. I’m a loud and proud fan of my hometown team, the Indianapolis Colts. I love traveling, and would love to add Europe to the list of places I’ve visited by 2015. I cherish my family and love children. But probably most useful to you is I love being a photographer.

Thanks so much for visiting my website. Take your time to look around. I hope you love what you see as much as I do, because I’d love to shoot you or your little one(s) (with my camera of course)!

{Chicago Children and Family Photography}: The A Family

November 4, 2010

This past weekend, I had the opportunity to photograph the A family at Promontory Point in the Hyde Park neighborhood of Chicago. I discovered this great park the weekend before while photographing a high school friend and her family. Not only is this a spot with an awesome building and beautiful trees showing the fall colors, but it’s also on Lake Michigan with an awesome view of the city.

Erin, her husband Doug, adorable daughter Kathleen, and fun-loving dog were troopers and joined me bright and early on Saturday morning, even though the temperatures were quite chilly to say the least. Our session the weekend before had to be rescheduled due to rain, so I was happy that we could just get together. They were so kind and gracious, and I had so much fun photographing them.

Thanks so much to the A Family for the opportunity to photography your beautiful family. It was a great experience for me, and I hope you enjoyed it as well!

Great session! I think my favorite is the one with the mom holding the little girl while the little girl looks up at the camera
