Metropolitan Imageworks

My blog is once again graced with sweet Gemma, this time for her six-month portrait session. She was pure delight and giggled and laughed and smiled through the session. Strangers even stopped during our shoot and said she was just perfect. I heartily agree.

Maddie and Lanie stopped by Tuesday morning for Lanie’s One-Year photoshoot. Maddie hammed it up  right away. She has grown into such a beautiful little girl from the newborn I had first photographed at just a few weeks old in 2007. Little sis’ Lanie was a bit shy at first but warmed up and shared big smiles as soon as I brought out a chair for her to sit on and stand near. Then Mom brought out a birthday cake and Lanie went to town nibbling on the frosting and some of the yellow cake. Maddie helped too.

Here’s Toni  again, this time at 18 months. She was well rested and had the best outfits selected. We barely made it out into the summer evening just before we lost all daylight and had a fun time running around the park and running the bases. Her daddy would be so proud!

I was very excited to meet and photograph Elayna last week. She is the third newborn baby in one condo building in the city. Referrals are the best! Elayna was very mellow for the majority of her portrait session, as long as we gave her ample snack breaks and snuggles from mom and dad.

I’ve been very honored to photograph Evelyn every year since her first birthday and now she is about to turn four years old!  Her little sister Catherine just turned one and this marks her third session with Metimages.  Being that the girls have grown up in front of my lens, they are extremely comfortable around my camera.  We met up last weekend at Cantigny in the west ‘burbs and got to walk around and enjoy the lovely spring temps and see some beautiful spring flowers in bloom.

Gemma might be little but she has personality, grace and her own agenda! Our three-month session was short and sweet just like her!

See you all again this summer!

I think the last time I had a portrait session with Keller he was a year old and now he is almost three! This time I was invited over to photograph his younger sister, Charlotte.  She just turned 7 months old and is sitting up all on her own, interacting with everyone and smiling beautifully for the camera.  I am so in love with her cheeks!!!
