The Bracken Family | Denver Family Photographer
I just got back from an amazing trip to the Denver area for a workshop/shootout with my pals Tracy Joy Photography and Cherise Kiel Photography
I had the opportunity to teach with a GORGEOUS local family that totally rocked it. The momma happens to be a local photographer as well! Check out her work here. Thank you to all the attendees and the models who participated. You are so appreciated!!
Right after I was done shooting the family portion of the shootout, a huge dust storm rolled on to the mountain and we booked it out of there. I have never seen wind so strong!
Check out some of my favorites from my portion of the shootout!

Summer Maternity Session | Lake County IL Maternity Photographer
We have had a pretty warm late Summer here in the Chicagoland area. But with that nice warm weather, we get gorgeous Summer nights. I was so happy to have met these two parents-to-be recently. They are so excited to meet their little one so soon. I can’t wait for them to hold their sweet baby in their arms!
I hope you enjoy some highlights from our session.

finally we’ll meet
I love you, little baby
You’re such a part of me.
Can’t wait to hold you in my arms,
And hug you tenderly.
No matter what you look like,
You’re beautiful, my love,
A precious gift given to me,
From heaven far above.
Each time I feel you moving,
My heart is filled with joy,
To think that very soon I’ll hold
My little girl or boy,
I’m counting every moment,
Till you’re mine at last, my sweet
It won’t be long until your birth,
Then finally we’ll meet.

Is blowing in your face
And the whole world
Is on your case
I could offer you
A warm embrace
To make you feel my love
And the stars appear
And there is no one there
To dry your tears
I could hold you
For a million years
To make you feel my love
Haven’t made
Your mind up yet
But I would never
Do you wrong
I’ve known it
From the moment
That we met
No doubt in my mind
Where you belong
I’d go black and blue
I’d go crawling
Down the avenue
No, there’s nothing
That I wouldn’t do
To make you feel my love
On the rolling sea
And on the highway of regret
Though winds of change
Are throwing wild and free
You ain’t seen nothing
Like me yet
Make your dreams come true
Nothing that I wouldn’t do
Go to the ends
Of the Earth for you
To make you feel my love

“Love Me Tender”
Love me tender
Love me sweet
Never let me go
You have made my life complete
And I love you so
Love me tender
Love me true
All my dreams fulfilled
For my darlin’ I love you
And I always will
Love me tender
Love me long
Take me to your heart
For it’s there that I belong
And we’ll never part
Love me tender
Love me true
All my dreams fulfilled
For my darlin’ I love you
And I always will
Love me tender
Love me dear
Tell me you are mine
I’ll be yours through all the years
Till the end of time
Love me tender
Love me true
All my dreams fulfilled
For my darlin’ I love you
And I always will

“Can I Carry You”
I guess that I can hold you
one more time before you grow
and tell you that I love you
so that you will always know.
Please let me tie your shoe again.
One day you’ll tie your own.
And when you think back to this time
I hope it’s love I’ve shown.
Can I help you put your coat on?
Can I please cut up your meat?
Can I pull you in the wagon?
Can I pick you out a treat?
One day you might just care for me,
so let me care for you.
I want to be a part
of every little thing you do.
Tonight could I please wash your hair?
Can I put toys in the bath?
Can I help you count your small ten toes
before I teach you math?
Before you join a baseball team
can I pitch you one more ball?
And one more time can I stand near
to make sure you don’t fall?
Let’s take another space-ship ride
Up to the Planet Zoor.
Before our Cardboard Rocket
doesn’t fit us anymore.
Please let me help you up the hill.
while you’re still too small to climb.
And let me read you stories
while you’re young and have the time.
I know the day will come
when you will do these things alone.
Will you recall the shoulder rides
and all the balls we’ve thrown?
I want you to grow stronger
than your Dad could ever be.
And when you find success
there will be no soul more proud than me.
So will you let me carry you?
One day you’ll walk alone.
I cannot bear to miss one day
from now until you’ve grown.

“Lucky One”
When you love you love with all your might and
You’re the kind
I would dream about at night
Now I’m the lucky one
Baby I’m the lucky one
You’re the kind
That I want to be with in the dark and
You’re the kind who is capturing my heart
And I’m the lucky one
Baby I’m the lucky one
And I have never been the one to fall in love so soon
But I could never face another night or day without you
Baby I’m the lucky one
You’re the kind
With poetry and valentines and
You’re the kind
Who will never ever leave
And I’m the lucky one
The luckiest girl
Baby I’m the lucky one
And I have never been the one to fall in love so soon
But I could never face another night or day without you
I’m the lucky one
Baby I’m the lucky one..

Waiting for you | Lake County IL Maternity Photographer
Such a gorgeous night for a gorgeous couple expecting a sweet little baby soon. Maternity sessions are taking over to be some of my favorites, and you can see why!
Little Green
Born with the moon in Cancer
Choose her a name she will answer to
Call her green and the winters cannot fade her
Call her green for the children who’ve made her
Little green, be a gypsy dancer
He went to California
Hearing that everything’s warmer there
So you write him a letter and say “Her eyes are blue”
He sends you a poem and she’s lost to you
Little green he’s a non-conformer
Just a little green
Like the color when the spring is born
There’ll be crocuses to bring to school tomorrow
Just a little green
Like the nights when the Northern lights perform
There’ll be icicles and birthday clothes
And sometimes there’ll be sorrow
Child with a child pretending
Weary of lies you are sending home
So you sign all the papers in the family name
You’re sad and you’re sorry but you’re not ashamed
Little green have a happy ending
Just a little green
Like the color when the spring is born
There’ll be crocuses to bring to school tomorrow
Just a little green
Like the nights when the Northern lights perform
There’ll be icicles and birthday clothes
And sometimes there’ll be sorrow
