As a photographer, my kids are pretty used to having a camera pointed at them at any given time of day.

There are days or weeks at a time where I don’t pick up my camera, but some days just beg for photographic documentation.

Case in point – Bebe H found some of last year’s Halloween costume in her toy drawer and needed to put them on – over the lace party dress she was already wearing, plus the five hair bows she required I put in her hair.

And don’t forget the florescent socks and Dora the Explorer band-aid.

This is real life, and it inspires me.

What inspires you?

If you’d like beautiful art created from your life, drop me a line.  I’d love to chat about your own little utopia and how I can capture it for you.

Check out some more lifestyle photography in and around Naperville, IL, like this family portrait session (featured on In Beauty and Chaos), this Drippy baby photo, or the Oranges fine art photography.

Ciao for now,
