Last week my all time favorite musicians, the Indigo Girls, played at Ravinia Park in Chicago. It is quickly becoming a tradition for me to come around that event, stay for a few days with some awesome friends and do some mini-sessions. These are different than my typical sessions in that they are a little more posed- but still lots of fun and I get to meet some of the cutest kids!
This year all my sessions included siblings- some only 2, but also my largest ever a gorgeous family of 6 kids!













Thank you for a wonderful few days- and extra love to Sara and Nancy for your hospitality

This week, I left Minneapolis and headed to Chicago. I spent a few days staying with my friend Sara. I came to visit her, but also to photograph her cutie-patootie-son, who wasn’t around last summer because of camp, when I was there and photographed her trio. Since I was coming to do some photography anyway, she arranged some mini-sessions with some of her friends and neighbors. It was a great time! I met so many lovely families and some insanely CUTE kids. They were real troopers braving the heat and humidity! Their sneak peeks are below!
So- first off- a sneak peek for Sara. I love these kids and they make me laugh because I think I’ve finally met some kids that talk more than my own!
The main man- D. His laugh is one of the best sounds I have ever heard. EVER. I want to record it to play over and over again when I’m in a grumpy mood

And his brother *E*:

And the other brother *J*

And the princess, *S*, who was in LOVE with the tutu I brought along


All together now!

When I arrived to their home and saw Miss “T* outside drawing with chalk, I have to admit my heart did a little gasp. CURLS!!! Look at those gorgeous CURLS!

Little Miss *Y*- is every bit your typical 1.5yr old toddler- spunky, active and sooo much fun!

And last but not least- sweet baby *E*.

The children together. Their mom gets FULL credit for me being able to pull this off. She was standing behind me putting on quite the comedy show for them.
