Westgate Family | Lake County IL Newborn Photographer
One of my favorite families just had a new addition to their family! I am so happy for them! It is always amazing to see families grow over the years. I love capturing these precious moments that are so fleeting. Take a peek at some of my favorites from our session!
The Little Things In Life
One day I came into your life,
as an empty little page;
On which your every word, or action,
Will forever be engraved .
So keep in mind when you’re upset,
the authority that you hold;
Your every word, and every action,
My tender little heart will mold.
As I grow, I will make mistakes,
And at times I’ll frustrate you.
Remember, It’ll take years to see,
The hurt harshly spoken words will do.
Always diligently take the time to consider,
Whatever actions you choose to take.
I know sometimes I will need correction,
Be mindful, my character does not break.
When I have grown, I will bring you joy,
and fill your heart with delight.
For you will see the time you’ve taken,
has encouraged me to do what’s right.
I will bring respect to your name,
Never sorrow, or disgrace.
Then just like you, I will too,
make this world a better place.

Nelson Family | Lake County IL Newborn Photographer
This is my first new blog post on the new website! I do have a few more tweaks to do but its pretty much there!
I absolutely love capturing these new, fresh moments for families. Newborn sessions will always continue to be so special to me. The nights may be long, but the years are short.
I saw the Nelson family recently to photograph their newest baby boy. They are officially an ‘all boy’ family! Take a peek at some of the special moments from their session!
Look at these sweet brothers! They absolutely love their new baby brother. So many adventures will be had!

Mommy + Me Sessions sneak peeks 2017 | Lake County IL Family Photographer
These are by far my FAVORITE sessions to do every Spring!! I love capturing Momma’s connecting and loving on their sweet babies.
Enjoy these peeks from the first round of Mommy + Me sessions!!
You Can’t Lose Me
Faith Hill
A little girl, a little small for her age
A little too slow for the field day race
Momma’s waiting at the finish line
And wipes the teardrops from her eyes
She says, “You did just fine honey, that’s okay
“Sometimes life’s just that way
“You’re gonna lose the race from time to time
“But you’re always gonna find
A little too slow for the field day race
Momma’s waiting at the finish line
And wipes the teardrops from her eyes
She says, “You did just fine honey, that’s okay
“Sometimes life’s just that way
“You’re gonna lose the race from time to time
“But you’re always gonna find
“You can’t lose me
“Bet your life
“I am here and I will always be
“Just a wish away
“Wherever you go
“No matter how far
“My love is where you are
“You won’t be lost if you believe
“You can’t lose me”
Momma use to say “Girl it won’t be long
‘”Til it’s time to go out on your own
“Chase your dreams find your place in life
“I know you’ll do just fine”
When that day finally came
There were things she needed to but could not say
So I whispered softly as I wiped
The tears from Momma’s eyes
“You can’t lose me
“Bet your life
“I am here and I will always be
“Just a wish away
“Wherever I go
“No matter how far
“My love is where you are
“You won’t be lost if you believe
“You can’t lose me”

“A Sky Full Of Stars”
Cause you’re a sky cause you’re a sky full of stars
I’m gonna give you my heart
Cause you’re a sky cause you’re a sky full of stars
Cause you light up the path
And I don’t care go on and tear me apart
And I don’t care if you do
Cause in a sky cause in a sky full of stars
I think I saw you
Cause you’re a sky cause you’re a sky full of stars
I want to die in your arms
Cause you get lighter the more it gets dark
I’m gonna give you my heart
And I don’t care go on and tear me apart
And I don’t care if you do
Cause in a sky cause in a sky full of stars
I think I see you
I think I see you
Cause in a sky cause in a sky full of stars
I think I see you
I think I see you
Cause you’re a sky you’re a sky full of stars
Such a heavenly view
You’re such a heavenly view

“I Hope You Dance”
I hope you never lose your sense of wonder,
You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger,
May you never take one single breath for granted,
GOD forbid love ever leave you empty handed,
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean,
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens,
Promise me that you’ll give faith a fighting chance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.I hope you dance….I hope you dance.I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance,
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Livin’ might mean takin’ chances but they’re worth takin’,
Lovin’ might be a mistake but it’s worth makin’,
Don’t let some hell bent heart leave you bitter,
When you come close to sellin’ out reconsider,
Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.
You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger,

Promise me that you’ll give faith a fighting chance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.I hope you dance….I hope you dance.I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance,

And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.
I hope you dance….I hope you dance.
I hope you dance….I hope you dance.
(Time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along,
Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder where those years have gone.)

Brownstein Family | Lake County IL Newborn Photographer
Lake County IL Newborn Photographer
I lived first in a little house,
And lived there very well;
I thought the world was small and round,
And made of pale blue shell.
I lived next in a little nest,
Nor needed any other;
I thought the world was made of straw,
And brooded by my mother.
One day I fluttered from the nest
To see what I could find.
I said, “The world is made of leaves;
I have been very blind.”
At length I flew beyond the tree,
Quite fit for grown-up labours.
I don’t know how the world is made,
And neither do my neighbours!
– Traditional
