Jami, her daughter Sydney, and a baby in the oven ;)

I am still smiling from all the fun that we had shooting some photos together yesterday morning! Jami and her daughter were so adorable, sweet and fun to work with!

We started off with a bit of a tea party at the house. Sydney changed outfits to go play on the swings at the park across the street, where she let her mommy put her hair in pigtails (because daddy LOVES Sydney in pigtails - I have to agree). Sydney even got to swing on the 'big girl swing' for the first time.

We walked back home, and Sydney insisted that both her mom and I hold her hand while she swung - I managed to capture a photo of that, which I LOVE :) Sydney then showed off a piece of "rock art" in front of the family's home.

Because Sydney was such a good girl, she got rewarded with some chocolate milk - what a lucky girl!!

I can't wait to see Jami and Sydney again! Next time, there will be a newborn baby (and possibly daddy) too!

Thanks SO much for asking me to come out, Jami - it was such a wonderful way to start my day!

Anthony & Christina

Champaign, IL

Saturday, my assistant Nena and I drove down to Champaign, IL to photograph Anthony and Christina's beautiful wedding. Christina's maid of honor, Ashley (an old friend of mine from high school), told her about my photography - I am so glad that she did. This amazing couple were so fun to work with!

Anthony and Christina had a traditional Greek Orthodox ceremony at the Three Heirarch Church in Champaign. They chose a beautiful garden for their photos (the arboretum/Japanese House on the U of I campus) just before arriving to their reception at the Refinery.

Thank you so much again for having me capture your beautiful wedding day, Anthony and Christina. Have a fantastic honeymoon in Greece!!! :D
