Well, the studio is in full swing now and we were so excited to have my friend Tena come in with her three GOHR-geous kids to help us test out the lights for groups. Looks like everything went well, there were no tears, AND I think Tena got a little break by having two extra sets of hands in myself and Heather!

I cannot tell you how many times we’ve been asked if we do studio work! Up until now, the answer has been “no”! Well, as any good photographer should do, I’ve been working to learn new things this winter so I can offer more to my clients and expand my work into other areas of photography. I have partnered up with my second photographer for weddings and super close photo pal, Heather, and we have been diligently trial and erroring our way through the studio set up process. We totally could plop someone on a white background and call it a day, but we want this to be special… something you don’t see every day… something that stops you in your tracks!

So, the good news is that we are making progress. The bad news is that we’re not quite where we want to be yet. We’ve got the lights and the “stuff” to go with it, but now we need some live people. We are looking for brand new babies (0-10 DAYS old) and babies who can support themselves sitting up, but who are not mobile yet. Yes, this may seem very specific, but we just need to test things out, and that will be difficult enough to do without chasing small people around! Don’t get us wrong, we love, love, love your humans of all ages, but we just need some solid practice. If you haven’t been following our escapades over at The Photo Junkies, it’s a must read. Hopefully you will laugh a little and enjoy our random goodness. So, without further ado, here it a bit of the progress we’ve made in the studio department.

For all interested, we are already starting to book up for the spring and will be adding studio to the mix probably sometime in March – so don’t wait too much longer to book your session!

I had the extreme pleasure of visiting with the Safron Family tonight in celebration of mother/grandmother/great-grandmother’s 80th birthday! They were such a fun – and good looking – bunch! We were even serenaded by her very talented grandson who is an actor/singer out in Los Angeles… such a great family!

Every fall I run into the same issue… I get so bogged down with shooting other people’s events and families that I nearly run out of time to squeeze in my own kids pictures before Christmas! Luckily, the weather has been so amazing this fall, we were still able to make it out in mid-November with only some light clothing! Yay! More to come very soon!

The O’Reilly family and I hit the riverfront in St. Charles this afternoon to wrangle some pictures out of their oh-so-adorable kids and even snuck in a few of mom and dad… AND man’s best friend(s)! Seriously – could these kids be ANY cuter… and mom and dad are hilarious to boot! All in a days work… More to come very soon!

I am so happy to post this sneak peek tonight! You may recognize these cutie-patootie kids from earlier this summer! They are our newest neighbors who have added some much needed youthfulness to our street… and they are just one of the nicest families you will ever meet, which is just icing on the cake for us! We had so much fun tonight rolling around in the leaves and enjoying the not-too-hot, not-too-cold weather and grabbed so many great pictures! Mom and Dad are just going to have to wait to see pictures of the two of them… ;) I just love teasing my clients!!! More to come soon!

When it comes to funny, the Leitza’s have the market cornered! Seriously funny people here. And it doesn’t hurt that they are clearly easy on the eyes! I called mom on her land line to let her know the gallery was up, so I hope they enjoy the images as much as I do! Cute cute!!!

I headed up to Chicago a few weekends ago to meet with a super fun bride and groom and catch a few sessions! This first session is a long time friend of my sister’s – and happens to have some super cute kids! They were SO well behaved, even though mom was busy with their new sister! These kids could not be any more gorgeous… of course, it’s easy to see where they get their good looks from! Thanks Wolf family for a great time!

They’re baaaack! The twins and Miss J are back again! It has been almost exactly one year since I first had the pleasure of shooting these super duper cute kids, and I cannot believe how much they have all changed! The boys are starting to look like little men (and SO much like mom and dad it’s just b-a-n-a-n-a-s!), and of course Miss J was only a few months old the first time we met, so…. Stay tuned – more pics to come very soon!
