chicago baby photographers | bella.

Filed in: baby

This session was very different from most of my baby sessions, as you can probably already see.  We started off by doing a few traditional portraits of Bella and then made our way over to University of Chicago’s campus to do more of a lifestyle session with her and her parents.  The campus holds a lot of memories for Bella’s parents (where they met and even where they got married!), so it was really special to go back there with their growing family.  I have to say, I’ve never been to the campus before and it is just so breathtakingly beautiful (much like Bella and her family!).

    As Bella’s very proud grandma, I enjoyed all the pictures. The black and white of Bella captured her beautiful inquisitve eyes,
    the picture of Cat & Bella with the purple flowers is absolutely spectacular, and the close up family picture on the curved stone bench really caught their loving spirit.

    Thanks

    Wow the pictures are really very very meaningful and pretty.
    I am really proud of a sweet couple like you and Joe. As an aunt I am really pleased and see such a wonderful scenery which will bring a very sweet and memorable time to Bella. Susy is really a very good photographer because she can really bring the good composition, freeze the good time zone and bring out the valuable moments picture-by-picture. Cat, you are really a lucky lady. Bella really highlight your life with lots of joys and happy momenets.
    With lots of love from Betty “gu gu”!!!
