These sweet girls did a fantastic job at their Short & Sweet Mini-Session last week, in spite of the chilly temps! The beautiful fall colors were worth the goosebumps, and after a quick warm-up in the Urbana Free Library, we headed back out for some more fun with apples. Thanks for another great session and I hope you enjoy this sneak peek – remember to leave a comment here on the Sweet Pea Photography blog, because after 25 I’ll gift a 5×7 print to these girls!
Wow… from waterfalls to black sand beaches, waterspouts and a view of the Napali coast from helicopter… our 10th anniversary trip to Hawai’i was fantastic. Although I have to tell you, after 10 wonderful warm days on the islands of Maui and Kaua’i… these cold Illinois evenings are just not so much fun. Oh well… vacation can’t last forever, right? Thanks for your patience while I was gone, and I hope these shots from our trip make your day a little warmer!






The little swirl of hair on this little guy’s head is just about the cutest baby hair I’ve ever seen… only 1 week old, and already a trendsetter with his curly mohawk! I adore this beautiful family, and am excited to see yet another boy grow up amidst their busy household. Thanks for another great session you guys!!






I love the country, and long for the day that our family has a few acres out in the open… but until then, I have to be patient and not covet the beautiful little farm where this family lives! Thanks for another fun session – it’s always a joy to watch your girls running around and enjoying nature in all of its splendor. Remember to leave a comment here on the blog if you like this sneak peek, so this patient family can receive a free 5×7 print after I return from vacation… all it takes is 25 comments!

I have to say that my nieces and great nieces, Emily and Erin Lopez, are very special (and beautiful and bright), and you capture their whole essences in your photos of them.
Their great uncle, Paul
Keep up the great work.

Just wanted to let you all know that I’m going on vacation for the next two weeks – beginning today and returning on November 1st. If you have any questions about your proofs, order, or booking a session, simply send me an email and I’ll contact you when I get home. There are several families who will be anxiously waiting for their proofs while I’m gone, so I’ll still be posting some sneak peeks here on the blog for them! Today… just a few more for this very patient family!

I hate it when friends have to move away, but I love it when friends come back for a visit (and a family photography session too!) It was a treat to hang out with these sweet kiddos in Urbana last week (and meet this little man for the first time!), and I can’t wait to see them again… Miss you guys!!
