One of my favorite toy stores in town is having an ice cream social this Thursday – just thought I would pass this on! Free ice cream, face painting, and games – sounds like a blast! Here are some details: http://www.creativekidstuff.com/icecrsothju2.html

These just make me happy.
Very happy.
This is my sweet-n-spunky nephew – I took his 3 year photos last weekend at the Minnesota Zoo and this is one of my favorites. More soon!

fantastic friends. beautiful children. many many good times.
These are some of our dearest friends from college. I didn’t get to spend nearly enough time with them when I stayed with them in Chicago – I barely saw the kids, mostly in passing. We were able to get in two teeny tiny sessions – one in their back yard, and one in a cute nearby Chicago suburb. To say that the kids were uninterested in taking photos is putting it mildly. It just wasn’t on their agenda. But look… we got some sweet shots.
I love love love this first one. It might just be an all-time favorite.
Parents often worry after a session about not getting anything. But it’s never happened – there’s always moments of calm. Of stillness. Of beauty.
I love you guys. Wish you lived closer. I can’t wait for our week together in August!



Another beautiful family from Chicago. Check out those baby thighs – it took all my self-restraint not to devour him. And those big brown endless eyes on the big ones? I’m in love. Thanks so much [D] family – it was fantastic meeting you all!
