Reshoot

This past weekend I spent an afternoon with Caelyn again, last week she wasn't to interested in partaking in our photo fun, however this week she gave us the honour of photographing her while she took some well deserved naps. We managed to great photo sessions in between feeds and then some family photos from the comfort of her swaddle.

Newborn Fun

Today I had the pleasure of spending some time photographing Caelyn. Caelyn is new to the world having been born earlier this week, but nobody can say she lacks personality :-). She played with us for a good 4 hours, pretending to sleep, then waking and insisting on feeding the minute we were ready to shoot. I think she was having a great deal of fun with us all and especially mom & dad.

Still with great parents like Todd & Melissa, I'm sure she'll have many more fun times ahead of her, starting with our reshoot next weekend :-).

Trash the Dress!

It has been a busy fall of family and senior portraits, but I managed to keep this weekend open in order to attend the fall 'Trash the Dress' facebook organized photography event.

What is trash the dress you ask? Basically think model, wedding dress and a location you'd least likely find a model dressed in a wedding dress! This time it was a corn field in Bolingbrook and Green Valley overlook in Naperville, the dog walkers and runners wondered what was going on!

In all about a dozen photographers turned out, the weather cooperated, as did the sunset, the light was amazing, the models were fantastic and I shot 1200 photos... I have some processing to do!

Feedback

From a recent client who's son is shortly heading off to Iraq, its not often I get the chance to directly help the armed forces, so this shoot was a real pleasure for me, good luck Chad in Iraq!

"While searching on the internet for a photographer, I came upon Jonathan's website. His pictures captured me immediately. I did not see faces, I saw feelings. He was exactly the photographer I was looking for. We had a very limited time to have our family portrait taken as my son would be home on leave from the Army for only a short time. Although Jonathan was completely booked, he rearranged his schedule and made time for us. Spending that evening with Jonathan created some fun memories for all of us. Then came the pictures...all I can say is that I could not be more pleased. They are my treasures. Thank you so, so much Jonathan." - Wendy.C

Taylor

Had a great time to day downtown Naperville shooting Taylor. We started at 4, lost track of time and finished at almost 8pm! We spent most of our time in the back alleys of Naperville. Taylor had expressed an interested in a particular style of photo, hopefully we caught it. Really great senior, good luck for the future Taylor!
