Sweet and Spunky!

I had so much fun photographing these sisters today! One is sweet and the other is spunky. Can you guess who is who? Really they are both as sweet as could be! They were right at home during their session. We were fast friends. Thanks for being the BRIGHT spot in my day today!

Shhh! Baby's Sleeping!

Or maybe not. This little sweetie was wide awake almost the whole time. Sharing one sleeping shot that I got. So sweet!

Happy Birthday to YOU!

Welcome to the World!

This little baby was only one week old. So sweet!

Thank you to everyone that voted for me in the State Journal Register's first ever Readers' Choice Poll. I was so excited to get second place. After being named BEST photographer for 2007 in the Illinois Times, I will admit I was hoping for first place, but I will take second place with a huge smile. Congratulations to Terry Farmer.
