The blog has been neglected, but there is SO much to come soon. I’ll be updating like crazy. I have a ton to share, lots of new ideas, and an amazing opportunity on the horizon. Watch for all the new stuff to come! And remember to check back often. You never know when it might pay off!

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.

Contact me at okema@clarereedphotography.com about shooting your newborn session.   Remember they are only this little for so long!!

Looking at this photo its hard to believe my littlest peanut will be 6 months old in two weeks.  Sometimes I look at Reese’s newborn photos and wonder who is this baby?  She has already changed so so much.

Our littlest sunshine

Hello world again LOL!  I took a bit of a hiatus from photography last year but I am happy to say that I am back and very ready to get back to clickin my camera.   I’m so excited to finally have my blog  and facebook fan page moving I cannot stand it!  I am also refreshing my website so stay tuned for that as well.  My blog will be the place to check in from now on for sneak peaks, specials and any other news going on.  I love how large I can post the photos!  I hope you enjoy the new look.  And because a photo blog post is nothing without pictures here is a pic of little Matias at 11 days old.  I hope to share more of his pics soon.

I feel so blessed to get to watch  families  grow and capture these precious memories for them.  I am overjoyed to be able to do what I love and give to others at the same time.  My hope is that they love the memories as much as I do.
