Michelle and Jason are Engaged!

Anyone who is willing to play on swings is A.O.K. in my book ;)









We went to Independence Grove for Michelle and Jason's engagement session! I loved it in the fall, but it is so lush and green in the summer.

They brought their favorite team's hat because it is significant to their relationship and how they met! I love the story and would never be able to do it justice, so if you ever met them totally ask! It is fun to hear stories about how people met and I don't think anyone else can do the story justice, but the couple themselves. It's almost the way they tell the story rather than the story itself!

I'm looking forward to their wedding in November!

Liz and Josh Maternity Session!

Noah is due to arrive at the end of the month! Woot! I'm sure he will be adorable, so stay tuned for the newborn pictures in August!









Josh is a huge Cubs fan and is hopping Noah will be too!

Dan and Jenny are married!

They had legos as their favor! I absolutely love it when it is so personalized to the couple. Dan also walking into the reception with a top hat and cane just like this little guy ;)







Dan and Jenny had their wedding in Peoria! I knew Dan in high school and it is a lot of fun to have been part of their wedding. I'm so happy that they found each other because they fit perfectly!

Maya, Jen and Norm!

I LOVE this picture. Maya looks so delicate just holding her hand by her face.















Talk about a kid that is going to be a future fish! She just loves the water and got the biggest smile on her face when she got to play in it.











Maya is now a year and a half and can walk! It's so amazing to see how fast they grow up. I did a session with Maya, Jen and Norm back in the fall and I can't believe how much she has changed. She was playing with my phone that is touch screen and could navigate it better than I can ;)

I'm looking forward to my next session with them!
