Introducing Baby Dylan | Illinois Lifestyle Photographer

There truly is nothing that can compare to photographing a newborn baby. The happiness and unconditional love that surrounds them and the amazing and thankful family that welcomes them home is incredibly heartwarming. I absolutely love photographing brand new families and this one was absolutely perfect!

I’m incredibly excited to introduce this sweet little man Dylan (and his Mommy and Daddy) to my blog today!! He gave his Mommy the perfect present and made his debut on Mother’s Day. Usually newborns this new sleep a lot…and as long as Dylan was snug tight in his Halo sack he was fast asleep! Since it was important for us to get a few photographs incorporating a few special items into his session we tied removing it…he did not like it one bit!! So what did we do? We, of course, put it right back on!!! Newborns run the show.

Andrea and Brad- Thank you so much for inviting me into you home to photograph this fun and crazy time in your lives…I am completely honored and thankful!! I can’t wait to show you the rest of the images!!

xoxo
Christine

The Super Sweet K Family | Lifestyle Family Photographer

In my opinion, one of the best ways to photograph a family is inside their home!! Another bonus is being able to pop outside to photograph the kiddos where they (more than likely) play the most. I’m incredibly excited to finally get this sweet family on my blog! I had so many images I loved from their session and really had a hard time narrowing it down…so I didn’t! I LOVED photographing them…especially since I’ve been friends with the Mom for quite some time!! I wasn’t fibbing when I said my friends make the most gorgeous families on earth!

Zac + Kristin | Saint Louis Wedding Photographer

Zac and Kristin are the lucky couple to start off my 2013 Wedding season!! They are an amazingly fun couple to be around and I’m pretty sure I can say the same thing about their family and friends. Their outdoor wedding at Lafayette Park turned out beautiful and the sun even decided to make a brief appearance. I definitely enjoyed every second of their wedding day and I am completely honored to have been the once chosen to capture it!

Congratulations Zac and Kristin!!!

Christine

ps. A special thanks needs to be given to my dear friend Amanda Zika for coming along and covering Kristin’s wedding with me!! It’s not often we get to shoot together but when we do it a fab time!

The J Family | O’Fallon, IL lifestyle photographer

Now that the weather is attempting to warm up it’s nice being able to shoot outside again! I was completely excited to photograph and finally meet this family last weekend. I loved every second of photographing their energy and laughter…it was a lot of fun and I loved that one of the little boys wanted to come over to my house to play and take more pictures:)haha

Toni- I hope you enjoyed your session as much as I did:)Good luck on your new adventures!!
