Urban Kid Portraits | Wheaton Teen Portrait Photographer

I have tons of portraits waiting to be put up on the blog. I’ve neglected my poor blog for far too long. Here’s a session from very early in the fall. These kids were real troopers. We did this session in early September and the weather been comfortable. But on this particular day, we had a hot spell and temperatures climbed up to 90, so it was not the most comfortable evening to be dressed in jeans and asked to walk around to different areas of downtown Wheaton to take portraits. They both did great and were extremely cooperative and we got some stunning images of a couple of beautiful kids.

Three Generations | Wheaton Family and Baby Photography

This was a multiple generation session, though this little 6 month old guy was so cute and photogenic I had a lot of fun photographing him all by himself. We set up a little “studio” nook at his grandparents’ house and let him express himself. After he got tired of being the star of the show, he had a little snack and then we did some portraits of him with his parents and grandparents.

Congratulations to My Baby Sister! | Wheaton Family Photography

My “baby” sister just had  her first baby. I was fortunate enough to get to fly down to San Antonio where they  live and spend 8 days snuggling my new nephew. He’s adorable and my sister and her husband are so thankful to have him and so sleep deprived at the same time! My baby is now 5 years old, so I was happy to spend lots of time holding him, so they could take naps. And I have to admit, it was lovely to spend a whole week in shorts and t-shirts, soaking up the sun and high 80s/low 90s. It was a shock to my system to head back to Wheaton where it’s been in the 40s in late April and we despair of spring ever arriving.

Stay tuned for newborn shots of my nephew in the next post.

The McMakens are extremely talented musicians — they have graciously allowed me to feature their music on my website. Check out more of their music at www.themcmakens.com. They welcomed a new baby boy into their family last autumn. He joined a very energetic big sister and I’m sure between the two of them, they are going to provide much joy to their parents’ life & keep them very busy! I’ll bet they’ll even provide some more material for beautiful songs, once everyone gets a little more sleep.
