My Crafty Afternoon :: Elgin Newborn and Family Photographer

My camera and I have a date with two week old Alaina tomorrow morning, so I'm spending my afternoon getting my gear together. Batteries charged. Memory cards packed. Fabrics and props packed and ready. And I have to say, I'm pretty excited to be using some new fabric backgrounds tomorrow. Look at this bit of lovely...

But I needed something more to really make it special... a matching headband! With my trusty hot glue gun and some felt scraps from my sewing bin, I whipped this up:

I can't wait to see sweet baby girl sleeping peacefully in all this tomorrow. Here's hoping she's ready to take a good long nap when I arrive. :)

I can't help myself! I really don't want to ruin the surprise of Christmas cards and birth announcements for this family, but this little boy is too sweet not to share!

Elgin baby photographer :: Three-month-old Everett

My family and I are back from our rather long (and long overdue!) vacation, and we're settling into our fall routine. Our oldest just started preschool, so that's adding a whole new set of activities to our weekly schedule.

While on vacation, I had the privilege to photograph sweet baby Everett. What an adorable boy he is!! As I put the finishing touches on his images, my husband looked over my shoulder and proclaimed,"Man, he is one CUTE boy!" And I have to agree. That shock of dark hair and big saucer eyes will just melt your heart.

Could he be any more precious? I feel like my own baby boy was just this small, but this week I watched him put on his backpack and skip into a classroom. Where does the time go?

You can see more of Everett by visiting his gallery.
