Pictures of Hope | Springfield IL Photographer
I am so proud to announce the Pictures of Hope Foundation, an organization dedicated to providing free NICU sessions to any family with a newborn that needs to spend time in the NICU after birth. I have wanted to find a way to give back for awhile now and this group seemed to be the perfect fit for me.
What is provided in a NICU session?
Families with a child in the NICU receive a complimentary photography session, using the available light in each room, and a complimentary set of 4×6 photographs from their session (approx. 25). Upon request, images can also be posted to a private online gallery to share with family and friends who are unable to visit. Sessions can take place immediately upon entering the NICU or parents may opt to wait until closer to their dismissal date. Sessions are entirely accommodated to the needs of the individual family. Sessions include individual images of the baby (including any attached wires/monitors, nothing will need to be disconnected), as well as relationship type images with mom and dad (if possible), captured with a more photo journalistic approach.
You can read more about this amazing organizion and our services here. Please share this link with anyone who you know that may require our services or may know someone in need of a Pictures of Hope photographer.

Emily | Chatham IL Newborn Photographer
9 days. And yes, if you do the math, she was born on Easter! :) So I thought this hat would be fitting. I'd say she liked it too going by her little grin!

More Nora | Central Illinois newborn photographer
Since she wasn't feeling too sleepy on Wednesday her mom and I decided to give it another go today. Though she fought us every step of the way... I'd say we won! :)

Chatham Soccer | Chatham IL Photographer
Practicing with Makenna and daddy with Aidan standing by taking it all in :)
The game.
This is after his first goal of the game. Pretty proud of himself I'd say :)
If you would have told me last season of picking flowers and never hardly touching the ball (or even wanting to) that he would be actually fighting for the ball a year later, I would have never believed it. Crazy the difference a year can make!

Happy Easter | Child photographer Chatham, IL
From my two semi-willing kiddos. Aidan was having none of it today :(
I guess there was this one millisecond that Aidan was happy.
And a few more from after naptime.

Mom and babe | Newborn Photographer Springfield Illinois
One from last year that never got posted. Possibly my favorite mom/baby image ever. Just added it to my site and had to share here too. Did I mention I love this?! :)

Not feeling the crib.
Poor guy hates his crib these days. There is something about sad faces that i just love though so I had to share.
And one of Makenna at that age.
