There are two types of toddler portraits that hold a special place in my heart. The exuberant tot running towards the camera showing full motion. Or, shown here, the inquisitive little one caught in the act of curiosity.
I imagine parents of toddlers see this expression everyday, multiple times a day and I bet it can be an exhaustingly difficult time. Nonetheless, it is an undeniably adorable expression, yes?

Thank you, Chicago weather, for forcing me to look for creative indoor locations during your cold, rainy or especially windy days.

This hat is from Carter’s. Size? 12-24 Months. She’s only 5 months here. We accidentally put the hat in the dryer and now it’s a little snug on her big 5 month old head. I think we’ll be able to stretch it out for when she’s older, but I couldn’t resist trying it on her now.
Happy Friday! Here’s to a dry (oh it won’t be, but let’s pretend!) weekend…

A very large portfolio update is long overdue. Sadly, I only had time to make a few minor updates in all of 2007. It will be slow coming since new photo shoots and baby wrangling is top priority these days.
This kiddo had personality. Oh the fun we had! We were running all around his downtown condominium and by the time we wrapped up I needed a nap.

A quick update on the waiting list situation… I’m still booking appointments exclusively from this list. All available April dates are now booked and May dates are still being filled, but there are very few left. I still expect the waiting list to fulfill all available slots.

Babies in hats??? Forget about it. The cuteness is unbearable. So when I found this green polka dot hat at Baby Gap there was no doubt that it would end up in my bag.

Since I plan on updating fresh! more regularly it occurred to me that not everyone on the email list wants to see every single thing I post in their inbox. Long story short there are other options.

We did this shoot in their home using both his nursery and the kid’s playroom as our on location studio.
The two images above were taken in his playroom. His mom painted adorable frogs and blades of grass on the walls. The blue toned walls in both his playroom and nursery made his blue eyes stand out. No retouching necessary on those baby blues.

A week or so ago I posted on the DMP portfolio site that I will be booking new appointments off a waiting list. I’ve already started booking April and May. If you are on the list for an April, May or 1st available date and haven’t received an email update yet, it will come within the next few days. Going by the size of the list, I don’t expect to have any remaining dates for those not on the list.
