Grady is Growing Up

As a North Shore photographer it is such a treat to know so many blooming families and capture them in this fun season of life. Physical exhaustion is the underlying theme as parents try to keep up with little ones, but we sure have fun trying!

Baby Grady is growing...as you can see in these photographs his little grin fills the room. Clara says that Amelia is might just want to marry Grady when she grows up...of course he will have to phone Daddy before asking her out on a date. have a look at this glowing family, a pleasure to capture on film.

Congratulations to Lisa and Dan!

What a fabulous time we had celebrating the union of Lisa Bergman and Dan Gallas in beautiful Woodstock, Illinois. Since Lisa was starting her new life with Dan, her almost empty house made an excellent studio for her bridal portraits (look at those Liz Taylor eyes!!). Rainstorms blessed this wedding but didn't keep us from taking portraits outside in perfect overcast light.


Gridley's Grille in Long Grove hosted the reception and served a delicious filet mignon (http://www.gridleysgrille.com/). This is the spot where Dan proposed to Lisa - how romantic to have their celebration there! Gridley's very successfully met their agenda to help Lisa and Dan 'capture the past, embrace the present, and look forward to the future'. How about these very fun shots out by the original smokehouse - what a generous and fun couple!

Thanks to Lisa and Dan for inviting me to part of this wonderful day.
