{future Eagles cheerleader} Nellie's photo shoot

While in Illinois I had the pleasure of spending the morning with this little cutie. Nellie is a DARLING Hello Kitty, Philadelphia Eagles lovin' four year old with big brown eyes & lots of energy! She was ecstatic when we finally made it to the nearby high school football field where she could "act like a cheerleader." When we went to a nearby park it was over! She played & played & played! We were trying to get a picture of Mom & Nellie together in their Eagles gear & she shouted "But MOM! This is MY photo shoot!!" spoken like a true diva. ;) Hope you love these Mom! Glad it's you & not me picking which ones to print!!

{it's a boy!} carol's maternity shoot

Last Saturday night I was in Waterloo, IL photographing this cute little family. They are getting ready to welcome baby boy into their lives in just a couple of months. Doesn't Carol look smokin' hot?? I had a bit of maternity hot-ness jealousy. ;) Look at Mom & Dad and tell me this little guy isn't destined to be BEAUTIFUL! I'm so excited to meet him! Here are some of my favorites...

{sports rivals} Workman Family

Bright & early Saturday morning I had the pleasure of photographing this family of four. I love their kids' brown & blue eyes---one like dad & one like mom. BOTH with bright blonde hair. I love it! We had a good time playing around in this broken down traincar and graffiti'd building. Sara had the idea of wearing their teams shirts/jerseys at a high school field to show their family's division. ;) AND she had the cute vision for the picture frame with the silly masks, etc. SO CUTE! Thanks for sharing your family with me!! Hope you love the pictures like I do!

This first picture is going down as my favorite picture of all time. No joke. Favorite. Of. All. Time.

{beautiful} Katie's Bridal Shoot

Last Saturday night I did my very first BRIDAL photo shoot! Meet my lovely cousin Katie. She had enough trust/faith in me to do it, and I'm so grateful! Like I said, you'll forever be my "FIRST"! ;) I always struggle picking my top 10-15 and it's no different tonight. So many beautiful pics of this gorgeous soon-to-be-MRS. Thanks for the evening of belly-laughs. Love you! I wish you & Devon the best of luck!

Sometimes you say things like "Why don't you just run along that edge & try not to fall in for our next pictures." <------Completely joking. Then she does! And she DIDN'T fall in! And I got some cute pics of it!

Aren't these sisters GORGEOUS???
