I first met Gaby and Hoss at my friend Kiran's baby shower. Both Gaby and Kiran have since given birth to their babies. I was very honored to have had the opportunity to photograph some of the first photos with the new little guy.

The three of you make an adorable family! It was my pleasure working with you. Congratulations on the birth of your son!! :)

Brian, Sue and Michael

Pottawatomie Park - St. Charles, IL

Saturday afternoon, I had a great time photographing Brian, Sue and their new son, Michael. It was absolutely amazing to watch the three of them interact with each other, and to capture such real moments with them (especially the smiles).

Looking forward to the next shoot with you three!!! :)

Shannon Sperando Cancer Benefit Concert

An Update
______________________

Plans are coming to a close for the benefit concert at the Double Door in Chicago! :) The boys of both Munroe and Facing Winter created some posters with informations for the event. Please feel free to share the images of the poster with EVERYONE!!! Let's try to make attendance as close (or beyond) capacity as possible!!

I'll most likely be posting another update or two as the day draws nearer - remember, Saturday July 5th. The start time I realize isn't consistent with the two posters. There was an update - doors ARE at 8pm; show's at 9.

There will be a raffle to help raise more money for both Shannon and the Prevent Cancer Foundation. Some of the raffle items include autographed memorabilia, clothing and theatre tickets. Raffle tickets are $2 each or three for $5.

90% of the proceeds will go directly to Shannon's cancer fund. The remaining 10% will be donated to the Prevent Cancer Foundation. The exciting part about this concert is that it will be a no cost event, allowing us to give the two funds the most money possible :)

Each of the bands have been kind enough to donate their time. All raffle items are also being donated by several different people and organizations. I will have a complete list later on.
