Niedle {Family}

This is Adrian’s one-year photo shoot. We were supposed to be at the ocean but we couldn’t make it work with nap time, distance, etc… I feel like a magician today with these photos because no one can tell that Adrian is not quite himself due to NO nap (he couldn’t/wouldn’t sleep) and basically was very antsy and sensitive. I will just keep the melting down photos for his parents to enjoy. :) This location was very last minute and I thank God for it because it brought out Adrian’s happy and artistic side! I mean, how can you not be happy with a giant teddy bear and guitar?!

Happiness is doing a quick photo shoot with someone that I love and admire…in a setting that’s entirely different than Chicago! :)

October is my favorite month of the year to shoot and the Alejos Family grabbed my very last booking before I headed to California. They are so blessed to have had these colors and luscious light!

Before leaving Vancouver, Canada, I wanted to shoot just a little more with Valerie and the baby. The majority of the time, we were inside or I was challenged with low light, so I was hoping to get some shots of Val and the baby with the beautiful colors just outside their house. So glad they said “Yes” because I love these photos to finish off their gallery. Just gorgeous!

Aww…look at that squishy little face! What a love bug!
