Hopeful blossoms in January

2011-01-02T15:41:00.001-06:00

365 Project day #2-

I love that we've wintered over these geraniums for the last 3 years- seeing pink blossoms on a very cold January day is so delightful. May something green and growing inspire you...

Beauty is all around

2009-11-09T09:01:00.003-06:00

Last week I spent 4 days in New Orleans at PartnerCon, a photography conference. On Thursday AM I got up early to experience this city at first light. It was amazing. Here is just a glimpse of the beauty that is all around ---

Food for thought!

2009-11-09T08:58:00.002-06:00

“We should, all of us, be filled with gratitude and humility for our present progress and prosperity. We should be filled with awe and joy at what lies over the horizon. And we should be filled with absolute determination to make the most of it.” Bill Clinton (photo from SWA flight home from NOLA last week)

Spectacular NOVEMBER day!

2009-11-08T16:32:00.005-06:00

These days don't happen often. Back-to-back beautiful days on a weekend no less in November. What better way to spend it than outdoors with a wonderful family. Meet Declan and Chloe. We got to jump, pretend we were all sorts of animals, and giggle too - Life is good!

Falling in --- Love!

2009-10-28T14:21:00.004-05:00

Today was a great day for a walk through the park with Elizabeth and Stephan. The leaves were so colorful and the crowds were down - The quiet of this big city amazes me at times. The only real sounds were of this couples laughter. After talking awhile - we all agreed that a key to a successful marriage is laughing. I am sure Elizabeth and Stephan will be quite successful!

Oh What A Night!

2009-10-28T08:24:00.008-05:00

Mayor Daley and several other area Mayors celebrated Jersey Boy's 2nd Anniversary in Chicago last night. As to be expected, the show was fantastic. There was a special shout out at the end with the cast celebrating our fair city with My Kind of Town.

Giggles - and a pink Pig!

2009-10-25T21:22:00.004-05:00

I never knew what kind of giggles a knit pink pig could get until today. It was a delight to spend the afternoon with Miss Julia and her parents. We made use of both studio and outdoor locations for their session. Once outside we just couldn't find piggy anymore and realized that he must have stayed back to watch over the studio. What a hard working piggy!

Sunny Sunday -

2009-10-25T21:12:00.003-05:00

I've been taking this family's portraits for the last three years. It is so neat to see these kids grow up - What a bunch of cuties. I am glad that Abby could help me keep the yellow leaves from blowing all round -

Just a gorgeous day!

2009-10-21T21:30:00.006-05:00

What a beautiful day - the temps pushed the upper 60s, the sun was shining, leaves were almost peak, and we have happy kiddos. Does it get much better than that?

Magnificent Day!

2009-10-17T21:46:00.002-05:00

Congratulations, Julia and Carter!

Rain Rain go away - but we can still go inside to play!

2009-10-16T15:01:00.006-05:00

Ok, so in September the sun shined a lot - now in October we have to get creative. Bring your sunshine indoors, I say! Case in point, these two cuties. I loved playing at the conservatory with Miss Ana and Miss Kate. We twirled, ran, and explored Ala Dora style through the lush greenery. Just too fun!

O My!

2009-10-15T14:54:00.002-05:00

Look what went to print yesterday -
Congratulations to Miss C for being featured in O Magazine's November 2009 issue. She is the cutie with glasses and a scarf. I took the image for a event I hosted to raise funds for the March of Dimes.

North Pond on a fun day off!

2009-10-12T19:32:00.005-05:00

Yes - another day when the rain stayed away. The cooler weather really made the leaves pop for our session at North Pond. It was so fun to spend part of the afternoon with Cara, Maggie, and Jack. I loved their determination to conquer the sculpture. Hope Mom's shoulder has recovered! ;)

Logan's new family!

2009-10-10T16:54:00.004-05:00

Logan the puppy has a new family. It was great to spend time with them at Oz park today. The rain had finally stopped and we were able to enjoy the fall colors!

Christie and Will

2009-10-08T16:50:00.002-05:00

Fun to spend the afternoon downtown at the Drake with Christie and Will. Their wedding was back in May, but October was a perfect time to do their "e-session."

Back to Garfield Park

2009-10-08T14:15:00.005-05:00

I've been taking photos for this family for the past three years. It has been great to watch the family expand and grow up. Today I have to say the highlight was being asked to play with such an enthusiastic, "Amy come here!" And finally even invited to stay for lunch by Miss Shannon. What a dear!

Julia and Carter's Engagement Session!

2009-10-01T21:04:00.002-05:00

Melissa and Patrick's Wedding!

2009-09-26T12:07:00.004-05:00

Lovely doesn't do it justice - Melissa and Patrick ordered up a fantastic day to share their vows with family and friends. The ceremony was at St. Clement Church and the exquisite reception was at The James Hotel. The stunning cake by Cake Girls will be featured on a future airing of Amazing Cakes on the WE channel, the lovely flowers were styled by Jiyeon Owens of Sella Brayte with Flowers. Joining me again on this wedding was the fantastic Rich Hein!

Michael and Carrie are engaged!

2009-09-19T22:50:00.005-05:00

Happy occasions, celebrations, and life altering events - This was all of the above. Michael proposed to Carrie Saturday afternoon. As a surprise, I met them at Buckingham Fountain to document their new engagement with a fabulous tour of the windy city. The night started under the rainbow cast by the setting sun on the fountain and ended with celebratory smooches from their dog, Leah. Congratulations to you both!

Meet the Billys!

2009-09-11T21:00:00.008-05:00

Billy Elliot is coming to Chicago this spring. I had the honor of meeting the boys and working with them as they were introduced formally to Chicago.

To see more, check out their debut in the following papers: New York Times, Chicago Tribune, Sun-Times, Daily Herald, Playbill, Time Out Chicago, and Broadway in Chicago. No doubt this is only the beginning for these fine young men.

Congrats!

Samantha and Sean's Wedding!

2009-09-05T11:55:00.000-05:00

Just a lovely day for Samantha and Sean. The late summer warmth was shared by all. I just loved their gorgeous flowers and such a cool cake too! Capturing the magic of this wedding along with me, was Rich Hein.

Saturday AM at the Shakespeare Garden

2009-08-29T14:41:00.007-05:00

The rains have cleared! We are the left with puffs of white fluffy clouds, blue skies, smiling faces, and tons of butterflies! What a delightful Saturday morning for a portrait session at the Shakespeare Garden. I had a great morning finding Monarch butterflies and colorful summer

flowers with Bryn and her brother Declan.

Beautiful Day for Millenium Park

2009-08-29T14:26:00.002-05:00

It may have been the last true hurrah of summer. This beautiful 80 degree day was just the perfect setting for AJ and here parents at Millenium Park. It has been such a treat to watch this sweetheart grow up. You may have seen AJ from earlier sessions at 6 months and a year as well. I love that I am able to go along with my clients on the journey of capturing milestones for their family!

In the pink at 5!

2009-07-31T17:07:00.006-05:00

As many of you know, I have 4 sons. Yes, you read correctly - 4 Boys!

So, when an opportunity to spend a day with a sweet girl arrives I am all over it. Today I had the pleasure of hanging out with Lizzie. We jumped in puddles, blew bubbles, rode the carousel, found flowers and even took a well deserved Slurpee break. As you can see it was a great day!

Kids galore!

2009-07-31T12:46:00.001-05:00

Summer is in full bloom - Another perfect day to be out. Today, I was able to spend the morning with Meg and Gerard. We had a great time and even had their cousins get in on the action as well!

Samantha and Sean

2009-07-26T19:14:00.007-05:00

I had two engagement sessions this weekend and worked with two fantastic couples -

Now meet, Samantha and Sean. We took over the Irish Mill in Mundelein and set their engagement session in a fantastic pub setting. Again - my September couples are so awesome! Congratulations to you both -

Melissa and Patrick

2009-07-26T19:07:00.006-05:00

Summer finally came back... After a rain delay earlier this week, we were finally on for Melissa and Patrick's engagement session. As you can see we had the perfect weather. I am so excited for my September weddings. Can't wait!!!

Fantastic Maternity Session

2009-07-19T19:44:00.009-05:00

I had the great privilege of spending the afternoon with Colette and Erik for their maternity session. The excitement for this new arrival is so evident. I am excited too - it will be wonderful to document this new little life. Congratulations to you both on your growing family!

Summer Time Fun!

2009-07-14T12:09:00.005-05:00

We just returned from our 15th summer vacation in Cape Cod. What a fantastic time. Nothing beats sun, sand, and family for great memories. Our boys and our nieces had fun time coming up with "Cousin Pig Pile" photos. This one is my favorite!

This weekend was Rich and Mary's 60th wedding anniversary. They were surrounded by their family and friends at a wonderful gathering celebrating their life together. Congratulations to you both!!!

First Communion Day!

2009-05-02T17:00:00.004-05:00

What a special day it was for these 71 children and their families. We had the most beautiful weather and service you could ask for. I must thank the wildly talented, Monty Ksycki for working with me to make sure we were able to cover as much of this sacrament as possible. Congratulations to all the First Communicants!

2009-04-25T23:50:00.005-05:00

Double visions

2009-04-25T09:03:00.007-05:00

We had the perfect day to be outside for Meghan and Paige's portraits. The city has some of the best outdoor hidden gem locations to take photos. We were able to do the formal pictures as well as run around the park and climb a few trees. What a blast!

Beautiful Spring day ----

2009-04-16T19:48:00.006-05:00

Great day to go to the Zoo and Conservatory with Georgia, Annabelle, and Thomas. It was actually so nice, we got outside - clearly the kiddos loved being able to RUN and RUN. Spring has FINALLY Sprung!!!

In the Garden with Erin

2009-03-27T18:10:00.008-05:00

Today was another lovely day - inside at the conservatory. Have I mentioned how much I love it there??? I don't think I could ever tire of it's beauty. It was great to share afternoon with Erin and her Mom. Take a peak at our session ---

Gearing up for my 6th Year Walking for the March of Dimes!

2009-03-17T12:11:00.005-05:00

Our oldest was born early, since he was 8 years old we have celebrated his birthday every April by supporting the March of Dimes. To mark our 6th year walking for the March of Dimes, I will donate $50 from every sitting booked between now and April 26th.

http://www.marchforbabies.org/boyles4

Every day 1 in 8 babies born in the U.S. arrives too soon. Premature birth can happen to any pregnant woman, and no one knows why. It is a serious, common and costly problem. The March of Dimes is leading the campaign to reduce premature birth by supporting research and by educating the public and health care providers.

Thank you for your support!

Cate at the Conservatory

2009-03-17T01:00:00.000-05:00

Congratulations, Lane!

2009-03-17T00:01:00.001-05:00

Snowy day -- time to play inside!

2009-01-12T19:25:00.000-06:00

Meet Nate -

This little guy loves to laugh and is a very accomplished roller. It was tremendous fun capturing your family today. Thanks for sharing your snowy Saturday with me!

Post Holidays - Super Email

2009-01-12T15:09:00.000-06:00

So great to hear that my holiday card, design, and photos were well received.
This email made my day and I HAD to share ---

"I cannot tell you how many wonderful comments we have gotten on the Christmas card! One woman who had already sent us her card, wrote a separate note and sent it to us. My family in Detroit sent a separate card also-they never send cards. When we were at Christmas dinner at both sides of the family there were unanimous accolades. They especially like the way there is another, smaller, picture on the back. Anyway, thanks very much - what a hit!" - Victoria

Playing at Garfield Park

2008-12-05T19:47:00.005-06:00

It was good to see Shannon and Ryan today. We looked for birds, fish, and of course, pretty flowers --- So sweet!!!
Refer back to May's blog post to see just how they have grown.

Colors at the conservatory!

2008-11-25T15:06:00.009-06:00

Hailey and Jake lit up the conservatory with their big beautiful eyes and smiles - It is so fun to shoot there with all the colorful mums still blooming.

Time for some family R & R - See you in a few days.
Happy Thanksgiving to all!
More Later -

Playing at the zoo!

2008-11-20T22:05:00.006-06:00

Thanks to AJ and her Mom, I had a tremendous time playing at the zoo today. We had so much fun in fact that we completely lost track of time - I loved seeing the zoo through AJ's beautiful blue eyes. It was just a treat to spend the morning together.

Enjoy a peak at the play date ---

Ok, so after weeks of beyond wonderful weekends weather-wise - we finally had a truly fall/wintery day. Snow flurries and all didn't keep Saturday from being one of the "warmest" November weddings I have ever been a part of. Annie and Larry had a beautiful wedding! Thanks to my friend and wildly talented photographer, Rich Hein, for joining me for this wedding.

I loved every minute of it and wish you a lifetime of happiness.

All the best, Amy

No tricks just treats!

2008-11-01T20:38:00.003-05:00

It's the day after Halloween and I had the treat of hanging out with Evan and his parents. This little guy was just too sweet as he kept us on our toes. See how he smiles as he rushes down the sidewalk... At the end of our session we had sometime to unwind as well - phew, I know I needed it! ;-)

Kiddos - kiddos - and kiddos!

2008-10-28T12:49:00.004-05:00

Sunday was a fun day to set up a studio day at Sister Arts Studio. Thanks again, Donna!
If you haven't already been there - stop by!!! 721 W Wrightwood. Donna offers classes, crafts parties, jewelry, knitting, and camps - It's one awesome spot!

Here are a few fun shots from the weekend -

Wonderfully busy day -

2008-10-23T21:23:00.006-05:00

I started my day with a trip to Joliet to meet Annie for a walk through of her November wedding locations. It was a great day to see all the sites and map out the many wonderful portrait opportunities. I am looking forward to a tremendous day!

When I got back to the city, I had an awesome portrait session with Lauren and Zack at North Pond. This place does not disappoint - always something new. We had a a great time and Max even joined in the fun too!
Just because it's cute - I am throwing in this image - they both got along famously, but as a mom I know there must be times when this is very fitting! ;-P

Sunday afternoon at Montrose

2008-10-19T22:35:00.003-05:00

This really is one of my favorite places in the city. In a matter of a 1 hour walk you can have city views, thick trees and beautiful plants as well as a great beach. Today was just a spectacular day to be there with Lauren, Mike and family. So glad we found the dry leaves to play with at the end as well - How fun was that!?!

North Pond -Sally and kids

2008-10-19T13:06:00.005-05:00

Two for two this beautiful weekend. All I can say is wow, I LOVE my job!
It was a blast touring North Pond with Sally and the kids. Beyond taking fun and beautiful portraits we were able to have a nature lesson too - see beaver damage, a huge toad, all sorts of ducks, a heron, and even a grasshopper. The city sure has some hidden gems -

Oz Park - Ava and her parents!

2008-10-18T14:11:00.005-05:00

After last nights rain we had to dodge a few puddles this morning, but that made it all the more fun. I had a fantastic time with Ava and her parents. It is so neat to see the the world through a little persons eyes. Everything from the flowers, leaves, and abundant doggies were just so neat!

Congratulations Al and Emily!

2008-10-12T23:19:00.007-05:00

We wish Al and Emily the best. What a beautiful wedding and incredible day for your ceremony. The outdoor steps at the Museum of Science and Industry was just perfect. Colin was thrilled that yours was his first wedding. He especially loved meeting most of the Sports Action Team. As he put it: "You guys ROCK!"

Our love to you both!

Great day to be outside!

2008-10-11T17:42:00.006-05:00

Not too many Saturdays in October can be as beautiful as this, but so far we are 2 for 2. Today, I was in Wheaton for a session with my long time friends. I first took Owen's portrait when he was 6 months old and now he's such a big guy! I am sure he'll be a great Big Brother and cannot wait to meet your new addition later this winter -

Here's a sneak peak at our fun in the park today ---

Taking it on the road

2008-10-08T11:42:00.004-05:00

I will be in the Wheaton area this Saturday 10/11 for portrait sessions. If are in the burbs and would like to take advantage of a beautiful weekend - I'd love to schedule your session.
Space is limited.

Need a suggestion? I am very partial to Klein Creek Farm in Winfield.

Enjoy this sneak peak - I promise there is much more to come -

All the best,

These kids have spunk!

2008-09-28T21:10:00.007-05:00

What great sessions I had this weekend --- Molly, Dan, and Nate, plus Amy's maternity session. I am so blessed to do what I love. Thank you!!!

It just reaffirms one of my main goals when the kids and the parents say they had FUN at their photo shoot. I know I sure do!

It is a tremendous relief to know that these children are our future - we are certain to be in good hands!!!

More later!

Summers' beautiful ending ---

2008-09-20T06:00:00.001-05:00

As Monday marks the beginning of fall, I had the great opportunity to spend the last few glorious hours of the summer of 2008 at Montrose Beach with my family. As you can see, the colors of the summer are being replaced with the rusts and browns of fall - Yet, how lovely they play against the fading light of the day and the blue of Lake Michigan.

As we picnicked at the beach, we saw so many sail boats passing by - One was even donning a Cubs main sail. Congrats to our Cubbies for clinching their division. Dare we dream for October!?!? Go Cubs Go!!!

Just a little rain - but family sessions go on!

2008-09-12T19:00:00.001-05:00

A whole lot of rain this weekend didn't stop this family from having a good time. We were able to take their session indoors at the conservatory in Lincoln Park. Lucky for us we were able to do that --- the garden wedding that was outside had to make their I DOs under multiple umbrellas.

PS Fall portrait session dates are booking quickly. Now is the time to reserve your spot.

What a beautiful morning! I was happy to spend my Sunday AM with this wonderful family. Even though the triathlon was going on around us - we were fortunate enough to have this part of the park practically to ourselves. These little ones were just amazing.

A great stay-cation day!
