baby z|portraits

what better to follow pictures of puppies and kitties than one with babies! well, just one baby in particular. baby z has got to be one of the CUTEST babies i’ve ever known. not even exaggerating. this little guy will melt your heart in about .004368 seconds. trust me, it’s scientific fact. he’s destined to be a lady killer rivaled only by george clooney or bradley cooper.

see what i mean?

babies AND puppies! be still my beating heart.

the marts|portraits

disclaimer: brace yourselves. there is some MAJOR cuteness in this post. it may induce numerous ‘oohs’ and ‘awws.’ proceed at your own risk!

this is henry. he’s one of the cutest babies in the whole world. because i said so!

this is henry’s mom and dad, lindsey and john. now you can see where he gets it.

henry could care less about us. he liked to watch the birds… the cars… the buildings… pretty much everything.

he’s so determined! go henry!

then it was time for navy pier.

i know these next two are super similar, but i love both of them equally!!

chicago, il

we had the absolute pleasure of taking photos of the mart family a few weekends ago. it was even cooler because lindsey is a super awesome photographer in milwaukee. we both frequent the same photography forum, which is how we hooked up for this session. the marts were taking a weekend getaway in chicago and really wanted some family photos now that henry just turned the big 0-1.

as you all know, i have a huge weakness for babies. especially babies with lots of personality and GORGEOUS EYES! so henry was pretty much the perfect subject for me. and to make it even more perfect, we did the whole shoot at and around navy pier. (coolest location for a family shoot? i think so!)

lindsey&john - thanks so much for letting us take your photos! you are such a beautiful family and you made our jobs soooo easy.

let’s start things off with a nice group shot, eh?

ooohhhh, sisters.

*love these!*

favorite!!!

woohoo, another great shoot at the awesome cantigny park. i swear this place is so huge. last week we had the pleasure of shooting the adorable johnson family. the girls, taylor and ellie, were total supermodels and had no problem doing silly things like spinning in circles or making ‘princess’ poses. even mom and dad went along with some of our crazy ideas. (one that included me sitting on tony’s shoulders and nearly dying. just imagine it. it’s pretty funny.)

thanks for not thinking we’re totally insane guys! (and if you did think that, thanks for not saying it out loud! haha.)

ps, in case you ever make it over to cantigny, see if you can find the croc tree. it looks like this:

pretty ridiculous right?

when you’re a photographer, the word “park” can be very loaded. almost everyone wants to shoot at a park, but not all parks are created equal. we’ve seen cute, little, playground parks; humongous, state parks; sad, long-forgotten parks; and parks which were more concrete than grass. we’ve even seen a “park” that was just an open field. (please note: an open field does not a park make. :P) needless to say, when sam said “cantigny park,” i was a wee bit skeptical.

blog world - i needn’t have worried! cantigny is the awesomest park ever! (yes, i said awesomest. don’t you love how i looked up the correct use of a semi-colon for this post, yet i still make up words?)

sam and corey have been married for almost two years now. they’re originally from the great state of illinois, but are currently stationed at camp pendleton all the way in sunny san diego, california. that’s right, corey is a marine. they just had a small ceremony when they got married, so we figured it was high time for them to get some amazing pictures of the two of them together. i mean seriously, how cute are they?

i would also like to take the time to point out how amazingly funny we are. you try getting a marine to laugh. yeah. not easy!

hope you guys enjoyed your extended (crazy packed, super busy) visit!

now check out their slideshow. in the words of the guvenator, “do it! do it now!”

PS - if you are getting married at cantigny, CALL US!! i’m absolutely dying to shoot there. look at this mansion!
