This is Grace, she will be one on St. Patricks Day, and her mom, Erin wanted to capture this special One Year Milestone. She is now walking everywhere and showed us her new talent, hehehe. We also snuck in some Easter Portraits and some for St. Patricks Day. She was so good and patient with us that she deserved to dive into her One Year Old Birthday Cake! She enjoyed it very much, almost as much as we enjoyed watching her. Thanks, Erin and Grace, for a fun session! There’s LOTS more in your gallery, but here are a few of my favorites. Enjoy!
Aren’t these lips luscious???? hehehe Happy Valentine’s Day to everyone! Hope you have a GREAT Valentine’s Day, and ALL your valentine’s wishes come true!!
For those of you that visited Lincoln Park while growing up will appreciate the sadness both me and my husband had while visiting the now dark and dismal site. Lincoln Park is now a memory in our hearts, good times that will never be forgotten, at least for me. It was a gathering place for families, and a fun one at that.
I can still smell the clam cakes that my dad would buy us and then we would all eat them under the pavilion while watching all the live shows. I always dreamed of standing on that stage and dancing up there like a star. Well, yesterday, my dream came true. It wasn’t quite the same looking stage as I had remembered, but instead, it was piles of demolished and burned wood. As I stood on that stage, deep down inside I could here the laughter of people and cheers from the crowd. Yes, I know kinda weird and mysterious. Me and my honey spent some time walking all around, and found it very sad to leave. There are so many good memories from such a dark place as it stands now.
Everytime we drive by the Park, my daughter asks me questions about the famous roller coaster, “The Comet”. “Mom, tell me again how did it break.” I just wish I could have had the opportuntiy to share the park with her as my parents and family did with me.
To make our visit feel even more eerie…… it was a few hours shy of a full moon. I would have loved to have been able to capture what we saw as we were walking away from the coaster. I did take a shot showing the full moon which you will see, but in the last shot just for fun, I enlarged the moon to kinda show what we saw. Enjoy…….
Lincoln Park 1894-1987 Rest In Peace

Barbara had a gift certificate for a photo-shoot of her babies. I was so glad to finally meet them! We had our hands full with these two, but thanks to my husband, John, we managed to capture some beautiful portraits of these two cuties. I call John “The Dog Whisperer”. He has such a way with animals and lots of patience with them. Maxxine and NormaJean finally gave in to John after much cohersing. They had just been groomed that morning and looked adorable for their shoot. Thanks Barbara for your patience as well! They are beautiful!
