While in Chicago last week, I got to meet the Koetter's! They are awesome people, and they have the cutest little girl named Macy. If there are any talent agents out there for Gerber, I've got a good one here for you who would make a perfect Gerber Baby!!:) Macy was so good the entire time. I went crazy shooting, and we probably spent an hour and a half at their home downtown, and then made the trek over to Millenium Park (if you read my blog post a few days ago, you know that I LOVE Frank Gehry's work--the architect that designed Millenium Park). Given my excessive shooting, Macy cooperated the ENTIRE time.

Someday, Shellie and Sam plan to move to Indianapolis, but for now, they are happy in Chicago. When Shellie contacted me back in August to book this shoot, she told me that she wanted shots that had that "city look" so Macy can look back and reminisce on the city that she was born in and spent the first part of her life in. So good thing Mother Nature cooperated! The temperature was tolerable, and we beat the mist that we experienced on our drive home!! Yea!

I'll quit talking now and let you look at the photos...

Meet Macy! Shellie told me that Sam really LOVES Christmas, so I am sure these first few will be on his desk!

Are you KIDDING ME?!?! She is so stinkin' cute!!



If she was my kid and gave me this look, I could never tell her "no":)

She handled these like a model with slight head tilts and eyebrow lifts

Meet the whole fam; Sam, Macy & Shellie:)


I love this one:)


Megan Engelberg (who you might remember from their September shoot) got this outfit for Macy. You cannot tell here, but Macy is biting on a little pink heart that came with the outfit. Hi Megan!




I love this. I think this totally reads "big city"!!


Here are some fun pictures in front of Millenium Park!

This sculpture is called "Cloud Gate," but it is referred to as "The Bean." I read up on this thing, and believe it or not, it is a 110-ton steel sculpture costing $23 million. It truly is fascinating when you see it in person. You can see incredible reflections of the city because of the curved shape of the bean. If you want to read more about it, click here.

Look! Macy sees herself in the reflection! Isn't she so cute?!?!


Just hammin' it up:)


Thanks so much for allowing me to work with you guys. It was a lot of fun. I hope you had a very Merry Christmas. Enjoy your slideshow! (Sorry the slideshow moves so fast. There are so many photos that I had to go fast to get through all of them before the song ended!!)
