The Olsons Part II
The Holms
This is such a great little family. The Holms moved to Chicago about the same time as Blake and I. They are from St. George, UT and I have to say, I have never met a St. Georgian I havent really liked. They are always so nice, and way easy going. This adorable family is no acception! Introducing Steve and Jaime and their 3 little bears (from youngest to oldest, Mac, Jett & Hudson).
Emily Davis: Maternity
Emily and I talked about doing some maternity shots while she was here in Chicago. But we really wanted some natural ones. One of my favorite movies for Christmas time is The Family Stone. Without ruining the movie, I will tell you there is a maternity picture of the mother. It is so beautiful and natural, and looks like it was as easy as breathing to take. Thats what I loved. A photograph that shows the woman at that time in her life, participating in what I believe a sacred and beautiful thing; the act of bringing a child into this world. Nothing gimmicky, just Emily and her pregnancy glow. Therefore, we took a few in my apartment. The one with my dog, just kind of happened. Here are a few of my favorites. Emily is gorgeous, no?
The Smiths: Famiy Lifestyle shoot
I got to tell you, I really enjoyed this shoot. It was so laid back and pretty. Ashlee and Collin have such an amazing apartment, and they are both so creative and talented (spent two seconds in their home to figure that out). I love their space, and I am happy they wanted me to do a lifestyle family shoot. It was a pleasure. I also am obsessed with their son, and his adorable smile and big lips. My goodness. Here are some of my favorite images.
