This was the most relaxed and fun newborn shoot ever. I have never seen a more alert and precious little girl- who enjoyed every second of the shoot and only fell asleep for a few min. just a long enough to snap a few shots of her so still and peaceful. Can't wait to see how much you've grown at your Aunts wedding this summer.- Tana

The wind was harsh and cold- real cold...at one point I thought man a nice warm cozy studio with coffee and hot chocolate sounds real good right now, but then I thought BORING! This family is so much fun and they deserve better. After a few stops and to much wind I got in my car and prayed all the way to the last stop- Lord please just let something work out I'm in need of a miracle....and it never fails- God is so good. We met in the ally near the new CTA building and the most amazing thing happened. A great guy said, "Would you like to bring the shoot inside- use the whole building." I stood there in shock for a moment and said that would be awesome- and it was! The kids had so much fun exploring - if you haven't had a chance stop by and check it out do it is truly something else. Thanks for a great shoot- it was so much fun even if you are crazy Cat fans!- Tana

Ok- I might be a little biased but this is definately one fun and cute family. I did my student teaching under TanDee 5 years ago and it has been so much fun watching her family grow. TanDee is an amazing person-  down to earth honest and true (Casey is too just in a different way!) I'm so blessed that I ended up in her room and that we've become good friends....umm such good friends that during the photo shoot I said, "TanDee cute new shoes, did you just get them...." and as the words came out my mouth I was thinking oh no I bet she just got them for her birthday...the birthday I just forgot...oops anyways HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Hope you enjoy the photos- I haven't even had a change to look through all of them, but here are a few that caught my eye.- Tana
