Beach sessions are still going strong over here, and this little one with Nicole and her family was as sweet as any. I got the pleasure to photograph them last fall, and it was so much fun to see their beautiful daughter go from baby to toddler!

Here are some photos from our evening in the sand!

I met Bridget, Ben, and their adorable 9-month old little boy for a mini session at Winnemac Park a couple of weeks ago. We’d already re-scheduled their session once because of rain (hello, rainiest season in Chicago’s history). However, the morning we shot, we lucked out and got great weather.

Early morning sunshine, a park to ourselves, and a happy little guy–what more could we have asked for?

Even though summer is officially over, my Chicago beach mini sessions are still going strong!

I met Samantha and her family at my favorite Chicago beach for a sunset photo session full of giggles, splashes, and the tail-end of summer light (which happens to be my favorite). Here are some shots from our time together.
