Probably the highlight of my trip to Chicago was getting to see and stay with my good friend Stacey and her family. Stacey and I have been friends since we were about 16. And believe me, that’s a looong time! I haven’t seen her and her husband Eric for a few years and hadn’t got to meet baby Nora yet. It was so fun just to hangout with them and take pics throughout the day. Here are a few pics from the day of baby Nora and Spencer the wonder dog who, believe me, will not be ignored :) And if you want to see more here’s a little slideshow I put together of the day! Can’t wait to see you all again in May at auntie Steph’s wedding!

Here’s Spencer, making sure I’m going to get up and take his pic.

And baby Nora! Good morning.

You will have to watch the slideshow to see what happens next.

Check out those baby blues!




Spencer was feeling left out I think. See you guys soon and we will do it again :)
Leigh, oh my, did you capture “the kids” at their best (and most classic) - these are wonderful! You are a true talent! I still think your work belongs in an art gallery, or in a book. Let me know if you need an agent. =) Seriously, we so appreciate you capturing “a day in the life” of Nora and Spencer. I’m already trying to determine how much time should pass before we have you back to do the next series. Many, many thanks!

Beautiful baby - love those eyes!- and, oh, what a handsome dog!
Seriously, Leigh, these are terrific. You have a true gift for capturing the moment. We have a lot of pictures of these two, but these are our first real portraits.

[…] her sister Stacey. Stacey and I became good friends a few years after I moved to KS as a teenager. (you may remember my trip to Chicago and Stacey, Eric, Nora and Spencer back in Feb) Stephanie and I of course always knew each other but became really close over the past 7 years or […]
