Zamparo Family

Spring in Chicago is a beautiful thing. And the Daffodil Glade at The Arboretum in Lisle is a gem for the spirit and photography. So glad the Zamparo came out to see me. The twins have my heart and being able to document them growing up is quite an amazing honor for me!

Lily + Liam {3 Years}

I am so touched that I get to photograph these two precious little souls since they were tiny little babies. I met them and their mom at a Starbucks in Wheaton when they were sleeping in their car seats at two months…and the rest is history! From the beginning I fell in love and my heart connection with them has truly been supernatural. I photographed them at one year, two, and now THREE! Happy Birthday to the cutest twins on the planet!

I’m a 100 percent positive that the daffodils will come back next year, but Kylie will not be this little any more. It means the world to me that I got to hang out with this precious little girl and seeing things through her eyes. Children are such a blessing.
