Esther's fall pictures 2012 || chicago il, baby photographer

Esther is back on the blog!

I have watched this sweet little girl grow so much over the past year. I have so many more pictures of wee Esther that never made it on here. I'll probably post some of her younger pictures randomly along the way, just because they are too cute not to share. ;) 

She is super adorable! My Mom watches her every Tuesday, and it's so fun to have her sweet little self hobbling around the house. :)

She always has a smile for me. She loves to dance. She is singing more. (lots of la-la's and dah-dah's) She eats a ton! And she likes to help me edit my photos. ;)

My cute little friend. <3

This is her, "I don't know about these leaves.....they are ON me!!!" face. ;)

She loves Mommy!!

Happy Wednesday!

Valentines Day & Valentine Baby || chicago il baby & graduate photographer

Hello lovelies. February went by so quickly! Spring is right around the corner! At least...that's what I'm telling myself. I feel slightly jipped. Our winter wasn't much of a winter. Yes, we had cold days. But what good is cold winter weather without snow! Yeah, we had some snow, but not normal Illinois winter wonderland snow! 

So now I'm totally done with winter. I want spring. I want to wear flip-flops, sundresses, drink sweet tea by the garden, bask in the sun, etc. etc..  

Well, back to February. I hope everyone had a wonderful month! I want to share this Cuties valentine photo shoot. You might remember little Esther from a few months ago. SO adorable! This was her 5 month session. We had a lot of fun putting it together. :) <3

Valentines day was extra special this year. I actually have a valentine! :) 

He took me to a lovely restaurant, the food was so good! He even bought me italian ice! :P 

It was a wonderful evening. A Valentines Day that this girl could only dream of... :)

The Boy, (aka Michael ;) bought me lovely flowers. He said they reminded him of me. :)

I even got roses!! :*)

:)

I hope you had a wonderful Valentines day too!

p.s. After I wrote this post it started snowing very heavily. Sooo. I can't complain too much. It was all snowy for several days! Twas lovely.... *sigh*  

Even though I ran off the road twice, I was still enjoying the beautiful snowfall. :)  

p.p.s. This week..... was warm again. Shocking for Illinois weather, I know. ;)
