Can you believe that this little guy is already 9 months old? I can’t get enough of his stunning blue eyes and his cuteness! I’m so looking forward to our 1 year old celebration and the cake smash session. It’s going to be lots of fun. :)
Enjoy!

This is the second time that I met this family for a photo-shoot! I can’t believe how fast the children are changing and growing. Especially the littlest one! WOW, what a difference. I enjoyed our time together. What cute girls! Don’t you agree?
I’m so glad that we were able to get together again. Looking forward to our next meeting! :)

Yesterday I had the opportunity to capture the first of the Blue Orchid Studio charity shopping party in Yorkville. I had an amazing time meeting all those ladies who were invited for Sunday brunch and the “before hours” shopping. As I was walking around with my camera, I couldn’t help but notice the friendly atmosphere. The shop was full of conversation, laughter, food and music. It was so much fun to be a part of this special event.


After making all those mental notes about what I have to put on my next shopping list, I ended up joining the youngest shoppers. Thanks girls, I had a blast capturing your images!
If you are interested in one of the next shopping parties… Stop in at Blue Orchid Studio, fill out a slip with your information, drop it in the jar and hope your name gets picked. If it does, you’ll have an option either an “after hours” shopping party or Sunday Brunch for you and at least five of your friends.
PS. On a side note… the biggest seller was the “Ugly Dolls” (of course)! :)

This week my friend Barbara visited us with her boyfriend Keith. It was a special occasion as it was her birthday. Just before the celebration we managed to get a few shots. We didn’t spend too much time shooting because Keith hurt his back just the day before, but he was a good sport about it. Hope you are feeling better!
Enjoy your sneak peek guys and thanks for coming over.

I love shopping for my family and friends, but sometimes it is hard to find the perfect gift. You can imagine how happy I was when I found this boutique shop – Blue Orchid Studio, located in Yorkville.
This is really the place to shop if you are looking to buy a gift for any occasion (birthday, wedding, baby shower, just because) and with Mother’s day around the corner, it’s the perfect spot to visit! You are going to find a big selection of unique gifts such as contemporary apparel & accessories, home decoration, luxury bath products, baby items, handcrafted goods, etc. It’s cute and rustic, but in a hip, refreshing way.
I talked to the owner, Leslie, and she was so friendly and helpful. We talked at length about the adventures of the business world. I wanted to take some pictures of her place, to showcase how charming her shop is. It’s hard to capture the true soul and magnetism of such a magical place, but I thought I’d give it a shot… or take a few shots of her place anyway. By the way, some of my favorite’s are aromatherapy Lumiere candles (I got the cucumber melon), hand-made jewelry, artistic photo albums, picture frames and not to forget all the cute baby items. I also purchased a few photography props – flower headbands – and can’t wait to use them again. Shopping there is really a treat. I kept getting drawn into every interesting corner with the great selection of items, and the charming atmosphere of the place.
So here are just a few of the pictures where you can see some of the great products she has available there.
Plus a bonus for anyone interested in booking a session with me!!! Just for shopping in Blue Orchid Studio, you are going to receive a print credit for your next session! Don’t miss out. Stop by and say Hello to Leslie from me.










I feel like I have a special bond with this family as this was our third session together. I met them when their son was just a newborn and I can’t believe that it has already been six months. I remember the first time I saw their baby boy, he already had a smile for me, so cute! And today was no different. He is so adorable with the most charming personality. It’s so amazing to see how he has changed and to be able to capture these special moments is priceless. Going through baby E’s pictures today, and remembering how much fun he was, just puts a big smile on my face. Look at his pictures… don’t you want to just hold him? Sigh, this job is so dangerous, it makes me to want to have a baby of my own. ;)
Enjoy your sneak peek!
