Reese Turns ONE! {Madison, WI First Birthday}

My sweet niece Reese turned one this past weekend and we celebrated her in style! You know I had to take some photos to document her big milestone and she was one of the easiest one-year olds I’ve ever photographed!! (I think it helped that her big sister was assisting me!) Usually it’s the other way around when it comes to my nieces :) Reesie is a March 1st baby so we did a spring theme for her photo shoot - tulips and tutus. She’s going to grow up to love tulips like her Auntie Coney, I just know it. I even got to be in a photo with her and her big sister. Thanks so much to my sister for grabbing a quick photo of us all.

I love you, baby girl!

Chicago Smash Cake - One Year Old -Roscoe Village

This sweet little lady turned one and had an in-home smash cake session recently. The theme from her birthday party was Dirty Dancing, so the theme continued for some of her photos as well! I think it’s safe to say she loved her cake and I LOVE how well chocolate frosting shows up for photos :) Happy first birthday, sweet, happy girl!

Dominic - Chicago In-Home Newborn Session

Two of my favorite people in the world became parents last month and I’m so excited to show you their sweet, smiley baby. He wins the award for the smiliest baby I have ever met & photographed in a newborn session! He also slept like a dream, which made my job pretty easy. Watch out world, this little guy is going places.

Congratulations Shannon & Brian - he’s perfect! I thought the two of you together were incredible as a couple, and individually. But then I saw you become parents and goodness, does parenthood look fabulous on you guys. He is SO lucky to have you as his mom and dad. Enjoy all of those newborn snuggles, but save a few for me… ;) Much love!
