DOT DOT DOT PHOTOGRAPHY, Libertyville, IL - Libertyville Professional Family and Children Photographer Happy kids - happy parents. Happy parents - happy family. This family for sure knows the happiness equation! My favorite from the day was when Mom looked at the two girls tackling their Dad and having the best time and said: "Ahh, it's just like at home..." MADE. MY. DAY! Because, my friends, the ultimate goal is for the family to feel "like at home" during their session. (Yes, despite that … [Read more...]
When Happiness Runs In The Family | Extended Family Session, Libertyville Family Photographer
{Professional Family Photographer, Libertyville, IL} I love extended family sessions. It is great fun to meet a happy family and capture their radiant smiles. It is triple fun to have three generations of happy faces on the other side of my camera. More than that, it's an honor. Just a thought of how much wisdom, energy, life experience, kindness and love is brought together gives me goosebumps. In a good way. It makes me stop and think: yes, we all are so very different. And … [Read more...]
How The Rain Did Not Spoil Our Family Session | Libertyville Family Photographer
{Professional Family Photographer, Libertyville, IL} Heading into this session at 6pm sharp, I had absolutely no doubts we would be playing outside at that beautiful summer's day best time: the golden hour.

THE PERFECT HOME FOR THREE LITTLE KITTENS | Chicago Pet Photographer
Everything we do in our life happens for the first time once. And so for me, the session of this family of five (three of whom were beautiful cats :o)) was a huge learning lesson how to deal with our independent furry friends. Believe it or not, all three of them had completely different personalities! If one was perfectly happy hanging out on the couch no matter how much me and Marta, their mom, were trying to entertain them, the other could not have enough playing with the bubbles and fluffy … [Read more...]
A MONTH IN A LIFE OF AN EASTER BUNNY | Chicago Children Photographer
{Professional Photographer, Chicago, IL} Do you believe in the Easter Bunny? We certainly do. In fact we had one visiting us just this last month and I cannot wait to share with you how fun that was! Those floppy ears which were so long he kept stepping on them while hopping and surprised himself over and over again; that little button nose which was trying to get in the most hidden places and tunnels around the house; and the super friendly personality of this baby bunny - all made us … [Read more...]
