In the mean time I would like to introduce baby L. I got to venture out to the Chicago-land Western Suburbs for this newborn session and when I saw little miss L my mouth dropped.  Now I have been around newborns for a while but when they are 4lbs 11ounces you just forget how tiny they can be.  Little L was the smallest baby I have photographed so far (she could not fit most of my hats because she was so small).   She reminded me of my littlest peanut so much that I wanted to put her in my pocket!  Mom and I had a lot in common and we had a great time talking and getting this peanut ready for her debut photo session.

]]> So remember that beautifully warm fall day last week?  Well I felt to inspire that day to go out and take photos with both my girls in the beautiful fall leaves.  I had these grand ideas in my head of them hugs looking at the camera and let me take a couple of shots.  Well my oldest agreed to it but my youngest wanted nothing to do with my ideas and decided to run away with me the entire time LOL (total photographer’s child syndrome).  Ah well after a couple of minutes I gave up but I did get this one of my oldest that totally made it worth it!   Have a great week!

I enjoyed photographing maternity sessions and I always encourage moms-to-be to have themselves photographed during this  beautiful time.  I love it so much that I am now offering a complimentary maternity session with every booked newborn session (details for that will be given this week so look out for it!)

]]> Since one of my goals this month is to get back to running I think its time to refresh my playlist. I find that I am much more motivated to run if I have my music plugged in to my ears.  Music motivates me,  gets my heart pumping,  and inspires me to keep going! But I must admit that my playlist right now is pretty old and needs to be refreshed.  So what’s on my playlist right now?  Beyonce,  Lady Gaga, Nas, Maroon 5, Bob Marley……Those aren’t all of them, but most of my favorites.

So tell me….what are your favorite songs to workout to? When you pull up iTunes….What’s on the top of your playlist?

Love love love this color combo!  This teal is one of my favorite colors – any saturated color is a favorite of mine, especially for a session outfit.  Its always a good idea to have layer,  I find that it seems to complete the outfit.  Love the look?  You can get it at Janie and Jack.  Want to know what’s really awesome?  Most of the items I pick out are on sale woot!   That”s right dress, cardigan, bow, and headband are all located in the sale section.  Better snatch it up quick before its gone!
