Ethan Maxwell’s Birth {Maryville,IL}

October 9th, 2009

Monday was an incredible day for me.  I was hired to photograph the birth of Josh and Chrissy’s son.  This day was so special to be apart of and to witness a miracle happen.  Little Ethan enter the world weighing 7lbs and 1oz and measuring 19 inches long.  As I watched Josh and Chrissy experience every moment of the day I to was flooded with emotion from my own daughters birth, two years ago.  My goal for the day was not to just give the Dutton family great images but to capture the day so they can live all the emotions and memories of the day over and over again.  The images below tell the story of the day and there are so many other great images that will be precious images in the years to come.  Josh and Chrissy thank for letting me be apart of you family and help you capture one of life’s special moments!  Enjoy the sneak peak and congratulations!

Dutton Family {Rosewood Heights, IL}

September 11th, 2009

On Labor Day I got a chance to meet up with the Dutton family to do a combination session of maternity and family portraits.  It  was so neat to capture this moment in the life of the family.  For the past three years it has been just the three of them and the beginning of next month baby Ethan will here and then there will be four Duttons.  This session has been so hard to edit and choose which pictures to post because this family is incredibly photogenic.   So I have narrowed it down to my favorite 9 photos.  Here’s the sneak peak!
