When I knocked on the door for my child portrait session on Saturday morning, this was the sweet face that greeted me…I was smitten instantly! Love those curls and baby-blues.
First we did some Christmas Card shots, and Vivy’s mom Becca had done an amazing job of staging a little scene where Vivy had boxes to open, ornaments to play with and books to read.
Vivy was so surprised by everything, its really fun to see little ones around Christmas time when the joy of the season is brand new!
Oops…she pinched her finger, but even that little unhappy face was too cute to pass up.
Playing with grandma…
OH my goodness, Vivy was adorable dancing to Christmas music with an angel and then this bunny…apparently she learned from Dancing with the Stars – too cute!
Next we went to Vivy’s playroom…
Vivy and her beautiful momma, Becca.
I loved this one instantly.
Playing with a fun treasure chest given to her by her other grandma.
This is Vivy’s sleepy habit, when she gets tired she sucks her thumb and pulls her hair down. This child would have me wrapped around her little finger in no time.
Chicago Child Portrait: Sweet Vivy
Oak Park: First Family Session of the Fall!
Happy Fall everyone!
This morning I did a family photo shoot in Oak Park. Beth & Alison are sisters, and Beth contacted me a couple of months ago to set up this shoot for her family as well as Alison’s – fun! I hope that my sister and I can do stuff like this when we have kids.
Nolan started things off, and let me tell you…this 4 year old was pretty excited about having his picture taken! (He did want to make sure that I knew that he had to go to school as soon as we were done though…he didn’t want to miss playing knights and princesses outside.)
I love this one – such expressive eyes!
Best quote of the shoot…
Teddy: “Nolan, you’re looking pretty sharp today.”
Nolan: “Yeah, I’m pretty awesome.”
Hilarious! Gotta love the modesty of a 4 year old. (But, he is awesome)
The shots of Beth & Nolan are some of my favorites from the morning, you can tell they’re very close.
Baby Ryder is 4 months old, and such a sweetie! He didn’t fuss through the entire shoot.
He looked at everything with such wonder…I love catching that look on their faces.
Sweet.
A smile!! Love.
Happy Friday everyone!
