chicago family photojournalists | smiley rylee at 18 months

Filed in: family, kids, maternity

Now that Simply by Suzy has officially been in business for (almost) two years, I’m beginning to see so many kiddos and families grow..  This family in particular I’ve had the absolute pleasure of documenting now for 18 months, as I first met them while doing a newborn session for Rylee when she was just a few weeks old.  I returned to capture Rylee at 7 months, when she turned 1, and again now that she is 18 months but even more importantly.. now that her and her family are welcoming a new baby to the bunch!  This time we decided to try something different from our usual portrait session and document an afternoon in the life of Rylee (now that she is bursting with personality I can’t imagine making her sit still and say cheese anymore lol!).  We had story time as she woke up from her morning nap, ate snacks together and played with Moo before venturing out to the park for more fun.  From the very first time I touched her tiny forehead to now 18 months later.. she’s the same smiley, bubbly and curious baby Rylee I’ve always loved and known.. (and I imagine that little spud in her mama’s belly is smiling just as much already!) Thanks Rylee for making it a great afternoon, I can’t wait to come back and meet your new baby brother or sister! 🙂

  5. […] can’t tell you enough how much I was looking forward to this little one’s arrival!  I’ve been photographing his big sister Rylee for almost two years now and almost feel like a part of the family myself, so when his mama told me the good news that they […]
