She was only a week old and certainly tiny. What a perfect time for pictures.

They mentioned they had a little guy turning 1 in the winter and they really wanted to setup a shoot. As some of you know Sue and I are on boy #3 in our house. I’m certainly always looking forward to more baby sessions. I pretty much turned their house upside down. Thanks for being patient with me Dan and Laura. They have great colors and amazing light to work with. We used everything from a curtain, the kitchen island, and a diaper table. Jack was perfect the entire time. I think he was even showing off a bit at the end on the couch.

A wedding is really just a big party. Yes, that means I am at parties every weekend. My weeks are filled with playing with my wife and boys, and often scattered with babies and young kids portrait sessions. Yes there is a lot of computer work that is far less glamorous, but we don’t need to get into that. What’s the point you ask? I love my job and I love all of the people it allows me to meet. I photographed Kate and Ted’s wedding about a year ago and last month I was able to photograph their new baby, James. Weddings and baby shoots are complete opposites. Wedding days are a little crazy. Okay a lot crazy, but fun. Baby shoot are much calmer and almost relaxing. Looking through the camera and seeing a happy little face like this makes everyday seem pretty special.

It’s time to start shooting and blogging again. It’s usually pretty quiet around here in the winter. This is partially by design and due to the fact that most people don’t leave their homes in the winter in Chicago. I try to spend first quarter decompressing a bit from the craziness that comes in the prior nine months. I did pretty well, but I couldn’t completely stay away from shooting. Now that the sun is coming out and it’s a bit warmer I’m itching to start shooting again. March and April will be full of babies, kids, and engagements sessions. If you’re thinking about scheduling something this spring now is the time to call!

Here’s the front of a birth announcement that I did for Sue’s cousin. More kids and baby pics to come in the next few weeks. <br>

Ty and Ryan entertained most of the people on the benches with a leaf fight while we waited for the sun to set. You’ll see at some point I had to come to Ryan’s rescue due to Ty treating him more like a crash test dummy than a baby.

During wedding season it is almost impossible for us to spend time together on the weekends. Sue brought the boys in the city in October in between a few of my engagement shoots. So you all know, we started the session like all family sessions start. Ryan was drooling from a starburst that Sue had just given him and Ty was pouting because he didn’t want to wear his nice new shirt. I hope these images brighten your day. I can’t stop laughing when I look at them.

I was preparing a postcard for my new children site and came across this image. Whenever I see this I stop and remember how small he was. I can’t wait to get the canvas print out of storage and hanging in my new office.

I love this shot from Medinah Country Club. As photographers we are lucky to be a part of so many major moments. I can’t really put into words what it is like to be part of a wedding then photographing a couple with their first child. I say it all the time, but this really is a rewarding job!Allori Photography Chicago Wedding Photographer photography kids photography canvas30x57 970x540 Brides and Babies

Cupcakes in a box delivered to your door. Foiled Cupcakes is a gourmet cupcake bakery that delivers to Chicago and the West suburbs. Luckily I live in one of the West burbs! I found Mari @foiledcupcakes on Twitter. For you social media fans out there she knows what she is doing, check her out on Twitter. For the cupcakes lovers…place an order! The cupcakes are unbelievable. After sampling a few cupcakes we did a shoot for Daily Candy Kids.

Our world is full of constant laughs, critter camps, dirt, hitting, broken bones, soccer, broken windshields, and a lot more craziness. As I type this the boys are treating me like a jungle gym. Admittedly, walking in to Alex’s closet full of dresses is a completely foreign world to me. Leslie, (mom) has impeccable taste. We easily moved from room to room finding spots for Alex’s different outfits.

They are a great couple and they LOVE pictures. I got to photograph Jocelyn every 3 months until 15 months. It really has been fun to watch her personality develop. Look at her now at 2. We only shot for about 20 minutes, and she definitely gave me a workout. She’s pretty quick for having such short legs!
