gorgeous gabby

If you know me, you know of my infatuation with Matilda Jane Clothing. This clothing line, in addition to being unique and absolutely beautiful, brings people together. As a case in point, I met Gabby and her lovely mother via Facebook in the process of buying and selling Matilda Jane Clothing. While in Chicago, I was lucky enough to spend a morning with them enjoying their company. Gabby was such a delight to photograph! She was super playful, cooperative, and a great sport throughout the long shoot. You could tell this sweet girl had a ton of love for her mommy, grandparents, and of course, her dolly.

 

Thanks for being such a delight, Gabby! 

final 2012 fall photo shoot

I needed to squeeze in one last family shoot before the new baby and winter made an appearance. If you are a regular reader of the blog, this family may look familiar. Like all photographers who use nature as their set, I was limited by mother nature who initially gave this family an ugly, cold, wet Autumn day back in October. She made up for it with an unseasonably warm weekend in November. So here's another look at one of my favorite families, who always look good, regardless of the weather.

chilly fall day, warm smiles and hearts

I headed out on a very chilly afternoon last week to shoot some photos of a beautiful family! You would never know how biting the wind was by the beautiful smiles and cheery moods of the Young family. They opted to spend some time at the University of Michigan diag as most of them are alums. Thanks for bearing the cold and being a delight to be around, Young family!!!

 

fall fun - leaves, layers, and family sessions

It's getting chillier, and I'm squeezing in a few shoots before the arrival of my second daughter! My third family session was a blast with a fellow resident's family whom I love spending time with. Colin and Cate are Evie's playmates, who along with their awesome mother, we love to see on a weekly basis. We headed out to the arboretum on a relatively chilly but beautifully lit afternoon to take some family shots.
