Happy Mother’s Day

What better way to celebrate mother’s day than to showcase a session all dedicated to one Mom? Nine beautiful children, one happy photographer, and a gorgeous Chicago day - I hope that Grandma has as much fun looking at these images as I did creating them for her. Enjoy your day, all of you fellow Mothers out there- YOU deserve it.

Pretty in Pink (and blue and purple…)

Sometimes you just know when someone is going to do well — and this girl is no exception. She is smart, talented, funny– and doesn’t the camera just love her?!! I know you’re waiting for these, K, so here they are! You did a great job.

New Blog!

What do you think?? I hope that I’ve worked out all the bugs, but if you come across one, please let me know! Thanks for visiting!

One of the first…

This shoot was special for me for a number of reasons. It was one of the inaugural shoots in our new studio (yipee!). More importantly, this five year old has such a personality - he cracked me up. From one Laurie Berkner fan to another — it was a pleasure to picture you. Hope you enjoy your sneaks!

Two Today!

Hello, blog readers! Tonight we have another post - two posts on the same day - a record for me! I am pleased to indroduce one of my newest friends - a cousin of the baby below. This little guy is a sweetheart, and I was thrilled to get to meet him — and wait until you see his eyelashes!!!!

Thanks for looking!

Sweet Sweet Baby…

This little sweet boy lives right around the corner from me — and
neither of us had any idea until it was time for the shoot! Not only
was it a pleasure to photograph a babe with such stunning eyes, it was
also so nice to meet a new neighbor. Enjoy the peak!

Boys will be Boys….

I have been friends with, and photographing, this family for years. I was so happy when I found out that they held the winning bid to a session from a silent auction - it is always so nice to spend time with all of them. Here are a few faves ….
