Plan Ahead for Mother's Day!

I am offering two great options for Mother's Day this year!

The first is my NEW limited Edition mini sessions. They are a great way to get the same Megan Kelly Photography Experience, while still working within a budget :) There are 2 dates and space is limited!

The second is a special I am offering for the whole month of May!

These are a great opportunity to plan ahead and have some great family portraits to give your mom, grandma, or any other women in your life you want to celebrate this Mother's Day!

We all know how tough it is to shop for Grandma's :)

My 2 favorite Red Heads!

So in the whirlwind of the holiday season I got to photograph this GORGEOUS mom-to-be and her family and then a couple weeks later her beautiful baby girl was born. So here are some of the many many many many great shots I got of this extremely photogenic family :)

Urban Baby

Oh my...this little girl...6 months old...eyes that shine!

SO CUTE!

I am always amazed at 6 month olds eyes...so big! And so filled with excitement. And this little girl is no different. Such a fun shoot. Wandering the streets of their Chicago neighborhood, taking photos and checking out the sites. I am envious of the city lifestyle :)

So here are a couple photographs from our fun city session! Enjoy!

Winter Wonderland!

It has been a very long time since I have posted something, so I am glad that I am finally getting back into the swing of things after a wild holiday season, a big student art show, and my transition to new students and photography classes that I am teaching!

I had THE BEST time photographing this family and thought I would share some of my favorite shots. We have been lucky to have had lots of snow...while it is chilly, it makes for a beautiful backdrop. This family was all about embracing the winter and getting outside for their family portraits!

Fall Wedding...last taste of color!

The week had been raining and raining...my fingers were crossed for a beautiful day to show off the gorgeous place that Julie and Jeff chose to start their new life together!

We lucked out! The clouds disappeared and the day was perfect!

The colors were so amazing and everything fell into place...including the rockin car they had pick them up to take them to the reception!

A Photographer's (and teacher's) Delight!

So what can I say about this portrait session...

To begin it fills me with so much joy to be able to photograph one of my former photography students...and that she was willing (along with her fiance) to play along with all of my ideas.

Between the rain and clouds and dismal Chicago suburban weather...I did not think we could pull this off...but we did and I am thrilled with the shots.

As a side note...no colors were adjusted...what you see is what we had. I have never seen a more beautiful place to photograph at!

Congratulations Colleen and Daniel!!! I am so happy for the two of you!

And thanks for helping me carry this couch all around through the weeds and burrs :)
