Om – The Sound Of Life | Yorkville IL Maternity Photographer

Nadia — Wed, 24 Aug 2011 01:32:30 +0000

I had the pleasure to meet the talented Emily (owner of the Sky Yoga Studio & More in Naperville) a while ago when I attended one of her yoga fertility classes.

I was so happy to hear that she is expecting, and wanted her maternity pictures done now to have them just in time for her baby shower. The baby is due in November so we have plenty of time to get together for some studio shots as well. I’m so looking forward to meet this baby as I will be capturing the first seconds of his/her life. Yes :) my first birth session!!! I’m super excited :) I can’t wait!!

Enjoy!

In The Clouds – Day 1

Nadia — Sat, 25 Jun 2011 11:32:42 +0000

Even though we just got home from our honeymoon/vacation on Sunday morning, it already feels like it was only a dream. I’m so glad that we have these special pictures to prove how beautiful Colorado is. It was an amazing trip. We decided to drive to our destination – Estes Park. It took us 16 hours to get there. It wasn’t that bad because we were super excited to share this trip together. The funny thing is that car rides make me hungry, so I made sure to pack lots of extra snacks just for me! :)

We arrived at Estes Park on Sunday evening, just in time to catch the sunset over the mountains. We reserved 3 nights in Wildwood Inn. I liked this place most, especially their Tempur-Pedic bed. The next morning we stopped for breakfast at Egg & I in Estes Park, which we really enjoyed. Erich’s favorite was the Hiker’s Benedict! After breakfast we packed our gear and went for a ride to the Rocky Mountain National Park! I must say WOW!!! This place is so beautiful. I was in seventh heaven with all those clouds surrounding us. Not to forget that I love nature and wildlife.

I enjoyed our first day very much, but to be honest one thing bothered me a little bit… Sadly, people ignore the signs about not feeding the wildlife (and trust me they are almost on every stop) and let their children share their chips and junk food with the birds and animals. We witnessed it on a few occasions. Also, we were approached a few times on the trail by tree squirrels, ground squirrels, chipmunks and birds begging for food.

To be continued…

Botanical Gardens | Yorkville Photographer

Nadia — Fri, 28 May 2010 03:05:27 +0000

I wanted to share a few pictures from the botanical gardens in Madison WI. Erich’s birthday is coming up so we decided to go on a short getaway. I’m so glad we did :) but I wish we could stay longer. I loved everything about Madison. What a great place to visit. We biked, went swimming, ate too much, explored, hung out by the lake with friends. I’m so ready for our next vacation. Hope everyone is enjoying this nice weather.

Little thief {Yorkville Photographer}

Nadia — Sun, 28 Feb 2010 03:46:37 +0000

I couldn’t help myself the other day, and had to snap a few shots of this squirrel. We had more than one coming the past few months and taking over our old bird feeder so there were no seeds left for the birds. And what I mean is that the refilled seeds were gone in just a few minutes sometimes! So we decided to buy a new squirrel-proof bird feeder. But let me tell you, it still hasn’t stopped them. They can’t get the seeds out, so instead they just sit on the top and scare all the poor birds away. After a very long time, what must be like an eternity for the squirrel, she tried to shake the seeds out. Our squirrels became a little overweight, as you can see, because our post is leaning a little more and more every day. :)

Macro World {Yorkville Photographer}

Erich surprised me with a bouquet of flowers (no occasion), so I had to take some pictures before our cat Lester would get into them. I love macro photography. It’s amazing to look at the pictures and see all the tiny details. While I was taking some close-ups, I noticed an Asian lady beetle landed on one of the petals. Yes, we have some at home. It is a “leftover” from the beetle invasion we had last fall.

Winter Wonderland {Yorkville Children Photographer}

Nadia — Sat, 09 Jan 2010 02:07:50 +0000

Looks like this winter is very generous when it comes to snow. For sure we can’t complain about not having enough. Although winter is my least favorite season, I still find this time of the year magical. Not just because of the holiday but there is something beautiful about seeing everything covered under the white “blanket”.
I thought I’ll share with you a picture of our Bengal cat Lester. In case you can’t tell, he’s an indoor cat. We took him out in the snow and he actually liked it because the following day, while Erich was refilling the bird feeder, he slipped out on his own. He started exploring and slowly walking away from our house. But don’t worry he’s safely back home now taking his nap.

Today I spent the morning taking pictures in Chicago Botanic Garden. What a great place to see! It’s a perfect spot for relaxation or just to visit with family and friends. Check out these beautiful flowers.
