Happy Holidays!

Baby Jack was put back to work recently, showing off his modeling skills in order to help create a few holiday cards.....







This was the winning image.....




...which after some help from Jodi at http://www.bonjourbaby.net/
we got this very cool looking card to send out!



Then he suited up for the "official" Jay Crihfield Photography card image.

Katie & Dino (and baby)

Katie & Dino are expecting their first child next month, so she wanted a few maternity portraits before she gets "way too big and uncomfortable for pictures."

Alexandra, Victoria, and Charlie

I'm starting to think global warming is a good thing when you live in Chicago....The weather cooperated and gave us one more good day for family pictures!









I guess someone thought it would be fun to throw the leaves at the photographer rather than each other!

So hard to find good help these days....

Baby Jack wanted to see what his Dad does all day.....
..."This doesn't look too hard"....

..."go make me some formula while I work on this picture of a handsome baby!"

Jack-O-Lantern

Let's face it....Halloween for a 5 month old doesn't really mean much, except it's a chance for the parents to get excited seeing the little guys get dressed up......








Unforutnately Baby Jack only gets to dress up as a puppy for Halloween, he's not going to get far with any of that candy just using his gums.

North of the Border with Dana & Todd

This past weekend's wedding took me up north to Milwaukee for Dana & Todd's wedding.....



...so much time, soo little to do.....










I've seen several best men try to get macho and give their speech/toast from memory, only to have a complete brain lock in front of everyone. Luckily Todd's best man stored his speech on his phone.



mmmmmm, wedding cake

Babies, Toddlers, & Seniors......

I thought the middle of October would be good for some fall pictures, but little did I know it would turn out to be 85 degrees......

....the sweaters just look a bit weird considering how hot it was!



..."Bugga" didn't seem to mind though.



Baby Jack couldn't seem to figure out what was going on.....



...And then Jack's cousin Michelle needed her senior pictures taken
