Hot dogs!

 

Love their expressions in this next one so unique and awesome!

 

These two just melted my heart.

They were so sweet with each other. They have this total brother and sister closeness I can only hope my kids will have.

They even had cute little code words, like hugging and jumping up and down screaming "Don't do the hot dog!". There was another one about macaroni on your face but there were too many giggles for me to decipher the meaning;)

We had a fun little doughnut shop shoot too that I will try to pop back in and post soon.

All this rain is making me work harder but I'm up for the challenge and I have great clients who are up for anything so that helps;)

Have a great week!

Barrels of fun!

 

 

Such a happy baby....

I didn't have to work at all to get these smiles he was that easy.

Just a few of my favorites for now but it was hard to choose there were so many great moments
between this sweet family.

Do you love my new red bench ;)  I think I would sleep on it if I could.

I practically ran out of the store with it!

Have a great week;)

Baby Bump....

 

Just a quick post so this mama to be can peek at her beautiful bump.  She is gorgeous isn't she!

She braved the chilly weather and brought some awesome outfits too;)

Can't wait to watch this belly grow I'm guessing its a girl but I've been wrong before;)

Just ask my sister with her three BOYS!

Blues Brothers....

Aren't they great;)

It was a beautiful day and these two (with the promise of popsicles) were so much fun.

I love how their happy energy registers in each image.

After going the wrong way on two different one way streets I'm pretty sure I need some sleep....

or maybe pay more attention to the road and less time yaking to my clients;)

October....

Hi Everyone!

Just a little update to let everyone know what I'm up to this month.

Christmas Cards:

If you are interested in Christmas cards and haven't already contacted me please
do as soon as possible.  I'd like to have all orders in by Halloween so I'm not cutting it
close come December (I am a one woman show here don't forget;).  Email me for info and prices Makayalarsonphotography@gmail.com.

Chicago Sessions:

I will be having sessions at Montrose Beach in Chicago Monday October 12 (Columbus day)  I have two sessions left so email me for times and prices if your interested.  I think this will be fun, not too cold yet and with fun sweaters/layers, bare feet and jeans too cute!

BitsySprout:

BitsySprout is my sister in-laws up and coming boutique.  She lives in California and has already been asked to wholesale in Canada.  She makes adorable Bow ties for boys (as seen in the image above) and lets face it sometimes its hard to find fun stuff for boys.  She also makes amazing headbands for girls.  Check out her Etsy site and convo her for a bow tie or head band, and receive free shipping when you enter my name.

I dug out the winter clothes this morning and bought my third pair of red tights yesterday, its definitely fall here in Joliet!  Lots of fun sessions coming up and can't wait.  This is the time of year where my love of layers can fully be appreciated;)

Have a great week!

Orange you glad it's Fall!

I was excited and nervous when Leigh who is an amazing photographer herself asked me to photograph her family.  Really though how cute are they!  Just the kindest people and such a happy baby.. he made it pretty easy for me.  I had this couch set up and when they showed up in their orange/fall outfits I was super excited.  I had a great time chatting to;)

Have a great week!

Ms. F so sweet and stylish!

This six year old couldn't be sweeter or more fun to photograph.  I avoided the rain and was able to get all three sessions in this weekend yea! Starting to feel busy but will try to be better about posting.  I think Fall is finally here and I'm loving it but winter please take your time no rush really;)
