Is This the Definition of Happiness?

Sometimes we all ponder the definition of happiness.  Some of us are happy around our family, me included.  Some of us enjoy indulging in foods.  Others like to be daredevils and jump off of buildings or go skydiving.

What makes you happy?

Can we all truly define what makes us happy?  I think this post will show you that my son's happiness is cake!  He is seriously one of my favorite subjects to photograph.  Of course, all 3 of my boys are hams in front of the camera!

My little T just turned one and boy did he have fun!  What do you think?


The cake made by my husband and I for his "Artic" themed party. 
Love this little guy saving the fort!


T's smash cake


First taste.  Gotta love those eyelashes!













Protecting his hat




Wow!  That is ONE messy baby!  Love it!


T peeking through the box of his Build a Bear present:)  My favorite image of the day!


See why I love my job!

A Few More Maternity Images--Chicagoland Maternity Photographer

I was having so much fun editing these images and thought I just have to post a few more!  J and M, you will get to view your entire image tomorrow night.  I'll send you the information to view and passwords then.  Thanks for your patience!  I hope you are enjoying the last month of your pregnancy!  I can't wait to meet your little girl soon.

Loving the Snow! Chicagoland Family Photographer

Wow!  It really was a blizzard that came through here last night and early morning!  Our neighborhood is covered in snow white beauty!  I really love it and had such a good time today!  My family went out in the snow together and my husband pushed our 3 year old twins around in the sled.  It was the little one's first time in the snow (he just turned one) so it was a little much for him.  I could have stayed out there all day with the kids and my camera but of course they are only 3 and 1 and got tired and cold!  Sometimes you wish those moments can last forever...but at least they can through those perfect images.

I want to give all of you a chance to really enjoy these moments too and so I'm opening up some time slots for some mini sessions for "snow fun" with your family!  Some ideas are a snowball fight (just don't get me), sledding, making snow angels, running around or falling down in the snow!  I'll let you be creative but you get the idea!  These are natural, not posed and all fun!  I'll do 30-45 minutes per family at a local park, sledding hill or in front/back of your home!  You must be within 10 miles of Palatine, IL.

We have some openings this Sunday morning BEFORE the Super Bowl (of course) and if the Chicago area still has snow, next weekend as well!   These are tentatively scheduled due to relying on the temperature and snow.

Each session includes:

** A 30-45 minute mini session at a public location or your home (within 10 miles of Palatine, IL)
** The time and talent of your photographer
** An online private gallery to view 20 beautifully enhanced proofs and share with friends and family
** 5 of your favorite images on a cd that is available to be printed up to an 8x10 size print (unlimited amount)
** 8x10 collage of 3-5 of your favorite images

This whole package is ONLY $99!   If you can get 3 or more families at the same location for the sessions (back to back), you can get a discount of ONLY $79 per family and the organizer gets a FREE set of 8 wallets!

If you can get 5 or more families, in addition to your own, I'll throw in something really special!  You'll have to do it to see what it is!

**You must sign a model release form for the session and also a limited printing rights contract for digital cd of images.


Email me at Erika@justpeachyphotog.com for details if you are interested in scheduling a SNOW FUN mini session!


Here are a few of my children from this afternoon!


 
Remember, there are limited sessions for this great special, so book yours now!

Also don't forget to enter our giveaway if you haven't already!
