The B Family | Family Photography | Elburn, IL

Meet the "B" Family!!  I had so much fun with them.  The kids, Spencer & Celia had me cracking up the whole time!

I first met Christi at a Babywearing group, she is one of the babywearing educators for the local group. If you are local to North Central IL, check out their website by clicking HERE for more information.

Now back to pictures ;)

We actually took these photos in their backyard.  How great is the light??

Afterwards the kids pulled out some toys and I grabbed some candids to them playing.

The one below is my fav <3

I FINALLY HAVE A BLOG!

YEP! I finally caved.  I had been putting it off for so long because, quite frankly, I didn't think I could keep up with the work entailed with updating a blog.  As some of you may know, I'm a wife and mom of three (technically four if you include the fur baby), so it can get a little crazy around here.  But I feel that becoming a mom of three has boosted my productivity and time management, believe it or not.  That, and the fact that I've been home a lot hiding from this extremely cold weather. ;) So with that said... what a better way to kick off my new blog than to introduce you to the newest member of my family.  Angelina was born on October 18, 2013.  Not only was this day special because its the day she arrived, but because its my grandmother's birthday. How cool is that?? Same birthday, 91 years apart.  I can't wait for Grandma to visit so I can get pictures of them together.
