It's December!

     I can't believe it's December already! This baby is due in 2 months! It's going to come quickly now. Especially with the busy season ahead of us. Anyone have their Christmas shopping done? Me neither. (if you answered yes, you're just weird!) But I have more of a head start than I've had any other year. Did you shop on Black Friday? I did. Not a good idea when grossly pregnant and have a terrible head cold.
     I was hoping to get my advent calendar box revamped and pictures posted, but looks like I'm a little late. Maybe I'll still try. It was a garage sale find and has a lot of potential. I just need to make it look like it belongs in our home. Pictures to come.
     Here are some pictures that I haven't posted yet. Some families done in the last few months.

Thanks for looking!

My Boys

Finally got around to some pictures of my own kids. It shouldn’t be so hard for a photographer, should it? Well, the boys did great and the location was beautiful. I absolutely love this park. Whenever my husband comes along, we get a lot of open mouth laughing pictures. He is trying to help, but this is not the look I am usually going for. He just loves doing funny stuff behind me. You’ll see what I mean.

Audrey Woulard Photography Workshop

If you haven't heard of her, google her. Seriously. She is an amazing Chicago children's photographer. I went to her workshop last weekend and feel totally inspired and renewed. I learned a lot and feel like (for the first time) I might be able to make a successful business from my photography. I will do an official launch as soon as I have everything ready. In the meantime, here are some shots from the workshop and some pictures of my kiddos while practicing after the weekend.

Beautiful Family

Hi there! Here is a family I photographed at the beach. I used to work with this gorgeous lady. Fun times! Doesn't she look like Giada from Everyday Italian? Checkout the food network if you have no idea what I'm talking about.
Thanks for looking!

My cute niece and nephew

Had some fun taking pictures for my sister while we were in Pentwater on vacation. Thanks for looking!

Two Brothers

     Here is a session I did last week. It was a struggle to get a genuine smile from the oldest, so I tried saying funny things.  It didn't work as well as I wanted. Apparently I'm not as funny as I think I am. But they turned out great anyways.  Thanks for looking!
