And here is the backside! This was my absolute favorite part of our Christmas card! 🙂 I love each individual polaroid picture of our kids, it’s so charming and totally me!
And my Oliver…he is such a card. He gave us some of the best faces that day. Always my smiley, happy baby….oh, how I love him so.
Sisters!
Daddy and his oldest!
Umm, yeah. I still can’t believe he has brown eyes. Where did those come from? Oh, yeah…ME!
Jess took a few shots of me and Mr. Smashed Peas too, it’s so nice to have some pictures of just the two of us…how rare is that these days? This is one of my favorites!
And this one too! Aww, aren’t we cute 😉
If you live in the Chicago suburbs and are looking for an amazing photographer to capture your newborn, children, family, wedding…etc. etc. give Jess a call. I can’t say enough great things about her and our session. She is a very dear friend who does outstanding work and I would highly recommend giving her a try! You can see more of her work on her website, here , or on her Facebook page, here.
Thanks for stopping by today!

Those family pictures were so full of sweetness, Maggie! Your kids look so cute, especially your youngest, Oliver. Time’s running fast, sooner or later they’ll be all grown up and getting you to take a picture with their own families!
Maggie says
Thank you so much, Madeleine! I know, I am already so sad that Oliver is 6 months old…where did the time go? 🙂

This is an adorable, heartwarming post, Maggie. I think it is great that you actively involve your family in your posts and set such a nice scene for your friend and awesome photographer, Jessica. You were right, the lighting was perfect! The pictures came out beautiful!
Jessica certainly does seem to have a natural knack for capturing those special moments at the right time.
Additionally, I have always liked the fall. I have always liked the changing leaves, the scents, the traditions of fall and everything that makes up the season, which makes these pictures and the way that Jessica imagined and captured the lighting and autumn background especially beautiful. In my opinion, not only did Jessica create beautiful family photographs, but she was also able to insert the essence of the season which I believe you wanted to create, with using the fading daylight of “dinner time” in autumn.
Keep up the great work!
