Metropolitan Imageworks

A few weeks ago I met up with rocker Scott Dubose for a portrait session in the city. He is revamping his website and needs new photos to go with the redesign. We picked a couple urban locations and I worked my photo magic while Scott danced and sang and played the guitar. I kind of felt like I was at a one person concert smack dab in the very front row. The session ended back in the Metimage studio with some indoor shots to max out the variety. Can’t wait to see the new site!

This is my little friend, Landon. I have been photographing him since he was three months old and prior to that I photographed his Mom and Dad’s engagement session and wedding. Landon and I (and his Mom) have lunch dates throughout the year and sometimes when he comes over to our house, Mater thinks Landon is here for his own playdate!

Landon and his folks stopped by the studio for a quick portrait session for holiday card photos yesterday.

Merry Everything!

I love my sessions with AJ & Adam. They are two of the most animated brothers I have the pleasure of photographing every so often.  They last visited the Metimages studio in June during the studio kick-off week.  Mom & Dad brought them back last week for some more milestone photos and hopes of getting a few for holiday card pics as their visit with Santa the week prior did not go so well. We also had a great time dressing up as fireman, just like Dad!

Happy Holidays S Family!

Caleb is cute. Caleb is charming. Caleb is a little cautious. Of course he was all of the above until he warmed up and scooted all over the studio!  Caleb’s parents brought him by for a one year portrait session and I was so excited to finally meet the little guy, as I had photographed his parent’s wedding back in 2007.

See you again next year with Caleb’s younger sibling in tow!

I’m not sure I have much more to say than CUTENESS OVERLOAD!!!  These three little girls (two sisters and one friend) stopped by the Metimages studio Sunday morning for a themed portrait session.  After the initial warm-up period they were so much fun! I cannot wait to see what the moms come up with for the next session.

I met Tammy when I was 9 years old and my family moved to Skokie. In fact she was my very first friend and sleepover! Now she is the proud mom of two delightful children – Ryan and Zoe.  Tammy and the kids snuck into my studio a few weeks ago for portraits to surprise their dad for his birthday!

Then a week later I got to photograph Ryan and Zoe and their cousin’s for their grandpa’s bday gift!  I love my job!

This little spitfire visited my studio a few weeks ago to get some headshots done. She asked her mom if she could get into TV or commercials. I know for a fact she has the best, most outgoing personality. I’m still not sure who had more fun -Abby or me! Good luck and I can’t wait to say I knew Abby when!

Darling Tori paid a visit to the Metropolitan Imageworks studio last week for her 9 month portraits.  This is a superb time for portraits as most often the subject can sit up, can make faces, can smile at my noises and antics but is not yet mobile enough to run away from (or scurry towards) me and my camera.

One of my favorite summer time traditions is Kammy’s birthday portraits! I have been the family photographer of choice for her one year, two year and now three year portraits!

Of course we have to sneak in a few of mom and dad and big sis, Brianna! By now I know for a fact, Kammy loves my camera!
