Mason is a gift. He had a bit of a rough beginning, two months premature, a few pregnancy scares and complications yet here he is and doing just fine. I received an email from Kimberly a few days before our session and it really touched me. She shared a bit of their story, how their moments with Mason seem a bit richer because of the difficulty to get him to them. Mason is adorable, with big blue eyes and soft coo-ey expressions.
Kimberly, your open hearted email and my time with your family reminded me of how precious my job is and what a grande responsibility I have to capture life. I looked forward to it, enjoyed myself while with you, and smiled as I prepared these images. Thank you for sharing some of your family’s story with me. It makes my job matter and reminds me why I do what I do.
Thank you.

This week started my yearly class at Chicago Botanic Garden teaching Macro Photography in the greenhouse. It is always a welcome change of pace for me to communicate the technicalities of the camera, meet new students and spend some time away from the computer.

Is Mason for real?! Oh my gosh, he is the most beautiful little man I have ever seen!!! And such a beautiful family and story.
I think he gets his beautiful eyes from his momma. Love how alert he is–or maybe it’s the skill behind the lens that captures this?
