I’m so excited for 2015. I have my wonderful husband and my two precious little girls by my side. We have a lot of changes coming about this year and what better way to document some of those special moments than to be held accountable for a 52 week photo project! This will also help me grow as a photographer and have fun doing it!!

Below is my first photo, week one. This is little Jolie who just turned 6 months old on January 3rd. She is the most smiley, adorable little girl. I love her rolls, her big eyes, and even the way she sucks her little thumb. She’s peacefully hanging out in her bedroom at our home in Vernon Hills on a cold snowy day while her big sister takes a nap. I love this moment, just her and I.

Week 1/52

This images makes my heart explode! It’s easy to get photos of the girls by themselves, but it’s not often I get a gem like this! I am loving lifestyle sessions lately!

Week 2/52

Week 3/52

I always wanted to give Jolie a bath in the kitchen sink. How adorable is she?

Week 4/52

Emmalyn loves gazing out the window at the trees and squirrels. I love how you can see her reflection.

Week 5/52

Each inscribed candle has a special meaning: Joy, Fun, Love, Balance, Adventure

Week 6/52

I made a conscious effort to get in front of the camera this week! Here is me and my little chunkers at 7 months old. Love her <3
