    Please join me in my efforts to raise funds for the orphanages in Ecuador. I will be traveling with the organization Dando Amor March 11-17 to bring the necessary supplies and love to the orphans. Your donation will go towards food, clothing, bedding, cribs, repairs, and any other basic needs the orphanages have when we arrive.

    To help support this great cause, please attend my Valentine's Day Mini-Session Fundraising Event on January 27 from 4-7 at Kids Science Labs in Chicago. Your $49 donation will go directly to the orphanages and will cover your 10 minute mini-session and gift print, food, raffle prizes, and music. Any additional profits from print and product sales will also go directly to the cause. This is a great opportunity to plan ahead for Valentine's Day cards to send to friends and family while supporting a worthy cause. Please contact me at 773.610.1008 or tiianorsym@yahoo.com to reserve your session. To read the full description about this event or to make a donation now click HERE.

An early arrival….Lincoln Park Chicago Newborn Photographer

Welcome Baby K! This handsome little boy came a few weeks early! We barely fit in the couple’s maternity session just days before he arrived. Baby K was very peaceful the whole session and was up for anything. Sounds like he kept mom and dad awake the night before, so he was making up for his lost hours of sleep during this photo shoot! The key to any newborn session is to keep the little one nice and warm, have calming background noise, always keep a hand or two on them while they are falling into deep sleep, and just take your time. He was just perfect!

Sibling Photography Fun….Children’s Photographer Arlington Heights

This 6 month old boy and 2 1/2 year old girl were just the cutest! This age range is definitely my favorite to photograph, as it’s so much fun to sing and play with the kids. They don’t even realize I’m taking their picture. 6 months is a perfect time for a milestone photography session when a baby starts sitting up. This little guy was definitely a pro at that! Big Sis was very sweet and gentle with her little brother and together, they cooperated wonderfully in order to get some nice sibling shots! Thank you for a really fun session!

Sleeping Newborn Beauty…Chicago Newborn Photographer

Here she is! This is the baby that was in the belly of the mom wearing the beautiful Sari from my previous maternity photography post. Baby J arrived a little earlier than planned and seems peaceful and content in her new world with her loving mom and dad. Our newborn portrait session went very smoothly as she’s a great sleeper, at least during the day,icon smile Sleeping Newborn Beauty...Chicago Newborn Photographeraccording to her parents! I hope she will soon be sleeping at night for you! Thank you for a great session in your home. I hope to photograph this little gem again before her family moves to Oregon!

Valentine’s Day Mini-Session Fundraising Event for the Orphanages in Ecuador

Well my heart is set and my family is supportive, thank you! I’m ready to give love, a helping hand, and necessary supplies to the orphans in Ecuador March 11-17, with YOUR help!  Thank you to the organization Dando Amor, for giving me the path to be able to do such work. I would not be able to do this on my own. It’s been about 15 years since I was in Ecuador, and I always knew I would go back; this time with a more meaningful purpose.  The orphanages in Ecuador have some extreme and immediate needs that our team will help to meet using the funds that we raise before and during the trip. The orphans need food, mattresses, cribs, school uniforms, lice shampoo, toothbrushes, and a van to drive the children to school. Most of all, they need love and attention. We will be spending time holding the babies that are often left to lie in their cribs since there are not enough hands and playing with the children that just don’t get enough adult attention. Please email me at tiianorsym@yahoo.com or click here to donate if you would like to contribute towards my $3000 goal or please attend my Valentine’s Day Mini Session Fundraising Event on Jan 27, 2012. 100% of the $49 session fee will go directly to Dando Amor and a percentage of the print and product sales. $49 per family includes a 10-minute mini session with a ‘love’ theme, a 4×6 print, music, food, and raffle prizes! Tickets are $12 per person if you would like to just come to enjoy the event and support a great cause without getting portraits. Space is limited, so please make your reservation by clicking on the registration link below!

Belly ‘n Babe Maternity and Newborn Photography in Lincoln Park

It looks like winter is going to be a busy time photographing new babies! I just heard from my last maternity client about the birth of their baby girl! Congratulations and welcome Baby J! It is so much fun to meet the expectant couple in the last weeks of their pregnancy and then to get the call sharing the wonderful news of their newborn’s arrival. This lovely couple has just three weeks before their due date so I’m so happy they were able to fit in their maternity session. I loved the bold and dark colors of these photographs. I can’t wait to show the couple the rest of their images. Thank you for such an enjoyable session in your home!

Counting down…Chicago Maternity Photographer

This was a really fun Belly ‘n Babe Maternity session with a great variety of shots and plenty laughter thanks to Daddy-to-beicon smile Counting down...Chicago Maternity Photographer. The baby is expected to arrive early, so I’m glad we got these maternity portraits before their new family member arrives. Looking forward to meeting their new baby in the next weeks at our newborn session. Thank you for an inspiring portrait session!

Lincoln Park Children’s Photographer …Family Playtime!

Little A just started walking before her photo session and she was already a pro. She loved playing with mom and dad and exploring all of the plants in the Lincoln Park Conservatory. We were very lucky to have family portrait session outdoors in Lincoln Park in the middle of November!  Although the wind was at times gusty and cool, we were able to get a lot of fun family photographs.

Family Photographer in Chicago and North Shore

Photographing your growing family each year is an important tradition for preserving the memory of your whole family and not just a few family members. Often mom or dad is always behind the camera lens and rarely can a family portrait be captured. Your family portraits will be a blend of fun-filled, natural photography of your family being themselves and more formal posed portraits that I will guide you through, keeping everyone comfortable. There are so many wonderful locations for Family Photography in Chicago and North Shore. Choose a location that says something about your family’s personality. Your family is guaranteed a fun and stress-free time! Enjoy some of the highlights from this fall’s family sessions.
