Catch Me If You Can | Plainfield and Naperville Children's Photographer

This little guy was on to me from the second he laid eyes on me.  He knew what I was up to, and he was going to make me earn my paycheck that day!  Good thing after the Merlin twins, I decided to rethink my choice of shoes when photographing the 4 and under crowd.

He was busy, and to his credit, he did have a lot to investigate at Adams Park in Wheaton.  Wow, I have really been finding some great new locations lately!  This one was perfect just for him because these sparkling blue eyes of his were mesmerizing next to the aqua of the old concrete water fountain in the middle of the park.

This place reminded me of a scene out of a 1920's black and white film.  A park with benches and shade trees, perfectly crooked steps... and old stone churches in the background.  Not that Liam wanted any part of that during my time with him last Sunday, but we still made it work.  And as you can see these candid captured moments that I caught in-between breaths, all but made up for any missed posed photo-ops during our session. 

Thank you Dena, for allowing me to capture your beautiful bouncing baby boy for his 1st birthday!

I am a natural light and journalistic photographer located in Plainfield IL specializing in newborn, children, families, and senior photography in Will and DuPage County in Illinois.

Party of Six | Plainfield IL Family Photographer

We'll since it hasn't been 4 months since the last time I blogged a photo session, I'm going to pat myself on the back for being consistent!  How could I stay away though when I have such a beautiful family to blog about?

I went to high school with the amazing mom of these six BEAUTIFUL children, and I take great notice to the fact that she is always so put together since I will soon be the mom to 6 myself.  She does it all, and I don't know how she does it.  These kids are some pretty amazing, well behaved kids, and while their mom might argue that this is not the norm, I just have to say as a parent, if they behave when it matters... you are doing your job!  

I don't know if it was a matter of routine, or just my lucky day, but for every new setting, all of the kids just fell in line.  Posing them was almost effortless... even with the littlest Belofsky, who was such a little doll.

What a beautiful family!  Thank you to all of the Belofsky kids and their mom for such a fun session, and thank you so much for allowing me to capture your family through my lens!

Frank and Diane | Plainfield IL Photographers

Sometimes I'm really good at keeping up with blogs... and sometimes I'm not.  It's been 4 months since my last update, so I think I need to start taping sticky notes up around the house.

This weekend I had the honor of catching up with an old friend and her beautiful family at a gorgeous new location.  It was an hour from home, and I was just about there when the skies turned gray and the rain started to fall.  We started calling each other frantically from the car, but it was too late for me to turn back now.  I was checking this place out with or without a family to photograph... and then by the grace of God, the rain stopped and the skies cleared!  Game on.

And what a game it was!  Tag, chase, and puppet wars with Mr. Wolf and Lamby.  The Merlin twins were a blast to photograph and their gorgeous blue eyes allowed me to capture some very stunning shots.  Thanks for meeting me halfway yesterday Diane and Frank, and allowing me to capture the kids at such a great location.  What looked like it was going to be a bust... turned out to be just about perfect!
