I'm so happy to be a part of a 52 week project with 30 other extremely talented photographers across the country.  Every week we're assigned a photo "assignment", which is a simple word.  We have the week to challenge ourselves and capture moments and situations that "speak" that word to us.

Without telling you what our word of the week was (before seeing the pictures), here are a couple shots of my pooch, Peggy Sue.  I took these on the day last week that we actually had some snowfall.  I felt they described our word to a "T"

Enjoy!

Guess the theme??

It's "Cold"!

I hope everyone is having a fantastic Thursday so far :) I have a lot of friends and clients ask about the difference between the RAW photos and the touched up photos and if there is really much of a difference, and what exactly would a RAW photo look like compared to a touched up photo. I wanted to share with everyone a comparison of the two, just for those who would be curious to see a before and after. This particular photo was taken this past weekend at a wedding in Streamwood, IL. This is one of the Bride's maids modeling the earrings that were given to her for the wedding :)

Every parent wants to remember their child's first haircut :)  Normally, mom and dad bring along their point and shoot camera or their iPhone and snap a few shots, pick up a few curls, and call it a day!

I received an email from Baby "W"'s mom a few weeks ago asking about getting professional photos of his 1st haircut.   It was my first request for photos during a haircut, and honestly, I didn't know what to expect!  I've hear stories of babies and children crying and being completely terrified of getting their haircut, so even though I was unsure what to expect, I agreed to have him in my studio and hired a hair stylist to do this little guy's hair cut!

Baby "W" was FULL of smiles when he got there, which was GREAT!  I was just hoping he'd hold out for the cut.  It was our lucky day, because he LOVED getting his haircut!  He was such a little joy the entire time, and LOVED the hairdryer! 

Here are a few peeks into his 1st cut at the studio!  If you or anyone you know might be interested in booking a 1st haircut in my studio, please contact me via my website, www.patriciaandersonphotography.com 

Cheers!

Woo!

I'm finally moved into the new studio, and just finished up with my first shoot in the new photography studio! I couldn't be happier to be working with natural light!  It just casts a much softer and romantic look, plus it's much better for newborns, as the flash doesn't startle them

Baby "A" Slept literally 99% of the shoot, which is almost unheard of for newborn photos! She let me place her pretty much anywhere my camera wanted her, and even gave me a few smiles to capture for her very lucky mother and father :)

If you're in the Lincoln Park area, stop by 833 W. Webster Ave. and say hello to Elaine Melko or Myself.  We'll be spending lots of time in the new studio, so come on by!

Here are the sneak peeks from today's shoot with Baby "A"

A few shots from my most recent newborn photography shoot.  Baby "C" was 5 weeks old.... a little bit older than the norm for newborn shots, but she did a great job!  She was awake and alert for almost the whole shoot, but we really needed to show off those baby blue eyes :)
