Diogi - Chicago's Cutest 4-Legged Cub Fan! Southport Chicago Pup Session - Wrigley Dog

Wow, I’ve been a little behind on the blog this summer - oops! I moved at the beginning of July and it took up weeks of my time, pre-and-post-move, but I’m back with a cute session to show you. I met Diogi at Hotel Zachary’s Yappy Hour event earlier this spring and her pawrents booked a session to document her sweetness. She is a lovable almost-3 little teacup goldendoodle who very much took to the camera. We photographed Diogi in her home where she loves to lounge atop pillows and play with her tennis ball on the roof. We then strolled around Southport Corridor in Chicago, stopped outside of Candyality for a couple quick photos, stopped by an amazing mural on Southport and ended at Bentley’s Pet Store for a special treat. She sure is a fun little pooch and I loved following her around for her photo session!

Lillian is one! Chicago One Year Old Birthday Photo Session - Chicago, IL

I’ve been photographing this little lady since she was in the womb and then when she made her earthside appearance! It’s always so much fun to watch these babies grow up and see their personalities start to come through. Miss L had a “Baby Shark” themed birthday party (sorry if that song is now in your head!) so we took some photos in her adorable birthday onesie & matching tutu. Mom and Dad also had shark-themed shirts! She had an outfit change, plus a snack break because let’s be real - being photographed is hard work! Then we headed outside among the lilacs and played with Oliver, her 4-legged BFF. Happy birthday sweet girl!

Wisconsin Badgers vs. Michigan State - Big 10 Tournament [Chicago, IL]

My home state Badgers are playing Michigan State today in the Big 10 Tournament and I couldn’t help but reminisce on these past newborn sessions that incorporated both teams. I LOVE March basketball season and excitement is in the air, especially with the tournament being here in Chicago. Both of these babes come from a house divided and though it pained me to include Spartan things in their photos(!) I now love that little E is a Spartan fan like his mom and little H is a Badger girl like her dad! The fun competition in this family makes me smile! May the best team win but… Let’s Go Bucky! #gored
