I did Brysen’s newborn pictures last year and am so glad he came back so I could do his 1 year session. He is such an adorable little man that seriously laughed and smiled in ALL the pictures! His parents are farmers so I though it woule be perfect to use a farm-themed chalkboard with all his one year accomplishments! Couldn’t be any cuter!

Love that his mom brought a framed newborn image that I took to this session!

His big brother plays hockey and Brysen wants to be just like him!

Loved meeting these children and reconnecting with their mom and grandma! I used to work with their grandma and their mom used to babysit my 4 kids! And now she has 4 children of her own! Where has the time gone??? Could they be any cuter???

Brenda – thanks for choosing Jan Nohling Photography for all your photography needs!

Doesn’t get much cuter than these 2 sisters! I did their mom’s business headshots for work and then she scheduled a session for her girls. They are as pretty as their momma! Isn’t the little mermaid outfit to die for????

As 2014 draws to an end I would like to take a moment and thank each and every client of mine. Weather you were a first time client or a repeat client I am blessed and grateful that you chose Jan Nohling Photography.  Thank you! A few of my favorite images from session thruout the year. 

Reece didn’t have a lot of smiles for me – she was too interested in looking at everything in the studio! But she is a doll! Did family pictures with mom & dad, pictures with her cousin Ava and with her grandma. She couldn’t be any cuter!

LOVED this family session! This session was held on a beautiful summer morning at the Murihead’s Farmhouse in rural Plato Center. This family couldn’t have been any cuter – 2 sets of twins! Thats right 2 sets! Loved spending time with them and getting to know all their personalities. I have so many favorites from this session. Enjoy!

Thanks for choosing Jan Nohling Photography!

Catching up on my blogging – I know it is LONG past Christmas but just wanted to share this adorable family!

This was the 3rd time I had the pleasure of photographing Malcolm and his sister Dorothy.  This was to celebrate Malcolm’s 5th birthday!  He is getting sooo big and will be starting Kindergarten in the fall.  The session was held at the Fox River Trolley  Museum in South Elgin. It is a wonderful location for children just to explore and wander around all the vintage trains and the surrounding area.

Malcolm is quite the character – loved all the unique expressions he has from mischievous to goofy to reflective to happy-go-lucky!  He is all BOY!

We were even able to see a turtle that wandered up from the river up close!

Isn’t she adorable????  I love her little pigtails!

Thank you again Tara for choosing Jan Nohling Photography to document the important stages of your children’s lives!

Isn’t she absolutely adorable??? And oh so serious.  I loved her little pigtails!

This is Dorothy’s 2 year old session.  It was done in their home in West Dundee and down the street at a cute little candy store.  I had done her older brother Malcolm’s 4 year session a couple years ago when Dorothy was only 6 months old.  It was great re-uniting with the family and seeing how much the children have grown and changed!  Here are some favorites from her session:

Isn’t this window gorgeous?  Their mom said this is a favorite place where the children love to play, read, put on plays etc.  I LOVE it!

Brennan has some big boots to fill of his daddy’s but he was all smiles trying on all of his Dad’s gear! Was a very fun session!

And we can’t forget his little brother Brady – 3 months old!
