Oh Hi!
This was my 365 Project – which means a new photo every day (and I’ll generally post all those pics to this page).
Check out some of some of my favorites!

Bring it, 2014!
Custom photos and portraits for family, baby, child and maternity by Chicago Suburban and Naperville Photographer – Appelman Images Photography.
Honest, story-telling, photojournalistic pictures that show how awesome you are! Contact me now to talk about a session for you and your family! I’ve been inspired by some talented friends – check out Lamb Loves Fox!
LOVE it! And kudos for doing this! I try every year and I fail miserably at sticking it out. I loved this little peek into your life. Thank you for sharing
Thanks, Anelle! This is my first attempt at a 365, so it’s daunting. Day 6 going strong… only, um….359 to go….? haahhah
These are fantastic, Kate!
Thanks, Gretchen! 😀
FUN! Great pics so far!
I am loving your 365…..it’s so FUN! Can’t wait to see where it takes you in 2014,,,
So very cute, I can never keep up with the project so good for you. Great start.
Love these! Good luck with the 365 challenge!
So fun! I love that you’re capturing everyday moments with your family.
I need this type of inspiration. I think it is nice to photograph life around us and not just our clients. Makes us think outside the box!
a 365 project is huge!! best of luck!! fabulous images so far – love how you capture the every day 😀
Love it! Very inspiring to start a 365
I love the hint of a smile in “hiding.”
🙂 Thanks Kristy! Your comment about the smile made *me* smile 🙂
I love the composition of the the snow sledding photo!
Thanks Debbie! Haha the vastness of the cold and snow mixed with his tiny little self just asked for it!
you’re so brave to share your photo from everyday! i’m doing pretty good to take at least one everyday (my first time doing a 365 too!) but i don’t like them enough to share what i take each day…so i’ve resolved to share my favorites at the end of each month. love what you’ve taken so far! 🙂
Well thank you Casey! I definitely have some I love more than others, but it does really pressure me to up my game, since I’ve committed to making something visible every day! It’s like a separate full time job in and of itself!
Love that you’re doing a 365 too, less than 300 to go!!! 😉
Wow, love the peek into your life! Your perspectives are so fantastic!
Thank you so much, Cynthia!
Kate – Your photographs are beautiful! I love to see pictures of your family (outside of CrossFit!). I would love for you to photograph our family someday when the kids are less “busy”.
Well thank you Andrea!! Let’s chat some time – I’m not sure the kids ever really get less BUSY! 😀
