Chicago Children's Photographer - Chicago Wedding Photographer - Tiger Lily Photography

The Workshop

I just got back from an amazing photographer's workshop.  The trip from Chicago up to Michigan was well worth it.  I felt I learned so much from the experience!  These are some of the images from it:

 

Baby it's cold outside

Brrrrr, it's cold outside, too cold for this time of year.  I can't believe March is just around the corner.  Chicago winters just seem to last forever.  I know the kids are just itching to get out.  As a photographer, I can't wait to get outside either.  Still, I manage to find inspiration indoors.  Here are some more images of my little inspiration, Princess A :)

 

Changes

I have finally made some changes to my website to include weddings!  I had such fun shooting weddings last year I wanted to make it an official part of my site.  If you are looking for a wedding photographer in the Chicago area, make sure to have a look.  I have several more weddings booked for 2008 and am really looking forward to covering them.  Here are some more of my favorites from the last wedding:

 

Happy New Year

Happy 2008!  Holiday time was so busy I really didn't have a chance to post.  I photographed yet another wedding -  previews are soon to come.  Here are a few images from a pre-holiday session.  This little girl had such a sweet, cherubic face!

   

November Wedding

I had the opportunity to be a wedding photographer at this lovely Chicago area wedding.  It was quite different than the last wedding I covered but still a lot of fun.  It was at a lovely bed and breakfast.  Here are a few of my favorite shots.

 

Window Light

It is always great being able to shoot outdoors - especially in the fall.  However, as the days start to get cooler (as they will this time of year in the Chicago area) I find myself being drawn back indoors. As a photographer, I forgot how much I love window light.  It really is beautiful.  Children love playing outdoors but they can be just as adorable inside their homes.  Here are a few shots from recent sessions where we moved inside for a few shots.

High Energy

I recently had the pleasure of photographing this little guy.  He had so much energy and was always on the go!  Really kept me on my toes but it didn't stop me from still getting some cute shots.

Blond is Beautiful!

Here are a few shots from a recent session.  These two siblings had the most beautiful blond hair and blue eyes!  It was such a beautiful day for photos. 

The Natural

What do you do when you have perfect light and a perfect model?  Have a photo session of course.  As some children get older they can start to become a little stiff in front of a photographer but she was just so great.  A real natural in front of the camera!

Something Different

I recently had the opportunity to shoot a wedding.  Quite a different experince from photographing little ones.  It helped a lot having the experience of having to be fast and ready when it comes to doing children's portraits because a wedding can move quite quickly!  Overall I was pretty pleased with the results and would love to do another!
