I am happy to have created playful images from that morning, as well as document the adorable Jude as he is growing up!

Michele is both a trainer for the company as well as a spokesperson.  She managed to effortlessly become comfortable in front of the camera as we walked around beautiful Lincoln Park.  I think I am really growing to love taking headshots.

I had the great fortune of capturing a few headshots and groups shots before their recent performance in Chicago. It was a quick shoot, but I had fun nonetheless.  They are a talented group of singers, so you should check them out – not to mention that they are an incredibly fun group of individuals.

(I was inspired to look back, so below I have included a few from Lucy’s photo shoot.)  Then last month I had the pleasure of spending time with this lovely family once again in celebration of the birth of their son Frederick.  He is a very calm baby with gorgeous blue eyes, and did a marvelous job looking into the lens.

I hope you enjoy looking at these when you are older Jude!

The weather, although cold – silly Chicago, provided clear and sunny skies.  It was a lovely day for a wedding.  This charming couple had a marvelous ceremony and a very enjoyable reception.  It was also nice to see Kate and Peter again. I really had a great time creating images of this wedding day!
