Yesterday, I took a little walk through the Lincoln Park Zoo and found this not-so-little guy lounging just as he should on such a beautiful Sunday afternoon. Oh-my-goodness!

We did this shoot at her grandma’s house and grandma’s house happened to have a putting green with these fabulous flags. It didn’t hurt to encourage her to play with the 1.

One of the benefits of my job includes a schedule that allows me to babysit my nephew from time to time. He didn’t know it, but we had a little photo session last week during our time together. He’s great practice and so adorable I can barely stand it!

Meet Alex & her happy family. The lovely and talented Alex is half responsible for No Little Emperors a wonderful little weblog “written by, for, and about parents of one-child families.” She has also written for Gapers Block, another Chicago favorite. I’ve been a big fan of her work for years, so to have the opportunity to photograph her family was a complete honor.
