Little G | Roman Rhys Peterman

It’s been a little over a month since I’ve written my last post. Since then, Little G has finally made his long awaited appearance. After nine long months, five countries, and five states, he’s finally here!!!
Born exactly a month ago today on October 9, 2011.
Weight 8lbs 9 oz
21 inches long!
One big healthy boy!
Here’s a short video documenting Little G’s arrival. To turn off the blog music, please scroll to the bottom of this page.  I used to sing and hum (and I still do) the song “Make You Feel My Love” to Little G all the time when I was pregnant.  We thought it was the perfect song for the video.  We were so tired and boy was I SWOLLEN from all the IV fluids and medications. I don’t even recognize myself in the video! Every time I watch this video I just sob – tears of happiness of course. We’re so blessed that we were able to have video footage of Little G starting from his first few seconds entering this world. We both can’t believe we created something so beautiful, and how he can make us so immensely happy. We were both so emotional the day we brought Little G home from the hospital. We can barely get things done nowadays because all we do is just stare at Little G. Lol.
I’ve been taking pictures of Little G daily. People keep telling me how fast they grow so I don’t want to miss a day (at least try not to) without a photo taken of this little chubster. Here are some photos that were taken by me during this first month of life.

Chicago Hotel Palomar Wedding | Mimosa and Will-MARRIED!!!

When I first met Mimosa and Will for their consultation, it was instant chemistry.  Mimosa is like the sister I never had.  Over time, we became such great friends and I can literally spend forever on the phone with her and we won’t run out of things to say.  Working with Mimosa from day one has been so much fun.  From planning their e-session earlier this year to planning their wedding a few weeks ago.  I seriously love these two to pieces!!!!  Talk about finding a lifelong friend.  I definitely found it in these two.

I have to warn you, this is a REEEEALLY long blog post with lots and LOTS of pictures.  You see, when I shot Mimosa and Will’s wedding, I was 8 months preggers.  And because I was that far along, I had two photographers and one assistant handy.  I normally would have one photographer and one assistant but brought one more photographer on board just in case.  Thanks Jimmy, Ray, and William for everything!!!

Mimosa is the epitome of the word “blushing bride”.  She was beaming from ear to ear the entire day.  I’m so surprised she didn’t mentioned anything about her cheeks hurting.  Mine does just looking at her.  Lol!!

Now I’ve gotten my wedding party in the past to form a human pyramid before but this one here is a REAL pyramid.  Mimosa actually climbed to the very top!  I was seriously in tears.

Newborn Photographer in Chicago | Evelyn-8 Days New!!

Here’s a quick blog on my newborn session yesterday with the adorable Evelyn.  Currently at 8.5 months preggers, this will probably be my last session before the arrival of Little G.  Can’t believe I’m going to have one of these angels in my arms in 2.5 weeks or less.  Eeek!!  So stinking excited!!  Ok, back to Evelyn, lol.  At only eight days old, she is insanely adorable!  At one point during the session, while Evelyn’s mom Michelle tried putting her to sleep, it was so relaxing, I found myself wanting to dose off with Baby Evelyn.  Lol.  Here are some of my favorites from yesterday’s session!
