Business: NAPCP

<

I'm very happy to announce that I was accepted into my first professional photography organization today. I'm now a proud member of the NAPCP, National Association of Professional Child Photographers!! I'm very excited about this, I had to be 'accepted' into the association and pass their qualifications - it's not one of those fill a few blanks on a website and you're now a member kind of things.

Now I'll be listed on their website as an Illinois based child photographer and can participate in their forum with other professional child photographers and they offer training classes too.
WOOOOOHOOOO!!!

Couples: Lindsey & Ben's spring session

I shot Lindsey and Ben's spring engagement session on Saturday. We did a few inside and then hit a few local spots for a few more before heading to the Custard Stand.

No train conductors or cops running us off this time :)

This is one of my favorites from this session......

Another favorite from this session.....

Maternity: Mary and the little Cousins

I was at my cousin's house taking a few maternity pics and then a few pictures of their daughter and her two cousins - Alli & Landon. Sorry it took so long to get the edits done, I seriously don't know where the time has gone recently. I decided to take a few days of from work to get 'caught-up' on everything and editing these was #1 on my list. You'll see in the pictures below, Alli is a wonderful model and enjoyed having her picture taken. The other two little ones weren't as excited about the camera pointed at them.

I kind of wish the final edits would have taken a little longer.....now I have to do my taxes. I know, I know you can't believe I've waited until the last minute to do my taxes. I mean it's not like I'm an accountant or anything!!

Couldn't decide which I like better....color or black/white

Landon's done.....he's outta there

Alli's giving her brother lessons on smiling!
