I first met this family when their little girl was born and told she would only live a month. I thought at the time that I would only be taking her newborn pictures which was so sad. Mia was born with trisomy 13 and her organs were not formed properly so they were not strong enough for her to survive especially her lungs. She beat the odds and lived for a year!! I took Mia's last set of professional pictures soon after she turned one she died this last Monday June 10th, 2013 in the evening. I was so sad to hear of her passing she was such a beautiful little girl and a fighter. I remember visiting her for the last time I could not stop staring at her as she slept in her crib she was so peaceful and just looked like an angel. I can't imagine how her family is feeling right now and just wish for them to have peace and healing. I know Mia is in heaven right now watching over them and that someday her family will join her Blessings~Krista

These are my most recent little ones from the last couple of weeks. These were done in my in home studio and I am loving my new lights. I was only a natural light photographer but I decided to take a course on lighting and I fell in love with it. My editing time has been cut in half and I love that I can shoot even when it is pitch black outside if I wanted.

I really love maternity sessions there is just something about the miracle and beauty of pregnancy. Outside sessions are always my favorite nature and pregnancy just go well together :) If you book a newborn session with me a maternity session is only $100 it is a great deal. I wish I had done maternity pictures with mine but it really was not that big but now it is huge!!

I love family sessions and the interaction and bond that is so awesome when I am taking pictures. I am always trying to make people comfortable and have fun since my favorite shots are in the moment. I have been quite busy this season and have been doing a ton of outside sessions which I love. I am no longer offering Family sessions for new clients only during Spring Mini Sessions and Fall Mini Sessions. This is so that I can focus on my main love newborn photography :)

This year in Illinois it did not look like Spring until May so my original date for mini sessions in April had to be rescheduled. I lucked out and had two really nice days it was a bit warm but not raining so I was good with that. I have such amazing clients and families that come to see me every year makes my job as a photographer so much easier I consider them more like friends sometimes than clients. Thanks to all of you that signed up and made it out those days :)
