Kari and Jeremy invited me to Jayna's first birthday party and we had a blast! Thank you to Kari, Jeremy, Hannah, Jayna and baby Bower for inviting to such a fun party, with some amazing cake I might add!

I had the privilege of taking pictures of Jayme and Marshall a few weeks before Marshall was born, so being able to see how this family has grown has been great fun! Thank you Jeremy, Jayme and Marshall for letting me spend the day with you!









If you want to see the fun photos of Marshall before we all got to see his cute smile, check out our September 2009 posts!

Vanessa, Erica, Frankie and Leo are a great family I've known for about a year now. They asked me to join them for a day outside in River Park and when it got too cold we headed in doors for some good fun!

Merry Christmas from Northern Minnesota! Thanks to a blizzard and its 15 inches of new snow we have found ourselves holed up indoors and with plenty of time for editing photos. Here is a sneak preview of our friends Paul and Rachel Couleur on their wedding day.

I had a ton of fun with Kat and Mike celebrating their engagement on a colder than it looked fall day. We had some fun ideas and places picked out and they are without a doubt the only couple I know who didn't only let me take pictures in beautiful Rosehill Cemetery but they suggested it! They are an awesome couple and Noah and I wish them all the best!









Those were just some of my favorites, for the full slide show, hit play!

Marcio Feitosa is a mult-time world Jiu-Jitsu champion. He is one of the best Jiu-Jitsu and submission grappling competitors on the planet but he is also approachable, humble, and an excellent instructor; truly an all around really nice guy. It was a pleasure to take pictures of the seminar. I'll have about 100 images from the class up on our flickr site (follow the link on the right.) If you are interested in prints or downloading particular pictures drop me an e-mail (kavodphotography@gmail.com)and I'll make sure you get what you're after.

I had the amazing opportunity to spend the afternoon with Kris, Lindsey and Grady on what seemed like the last day with leaves still on the trees here in Chicago. They couldn't have picked a more beautiful spot than the Lincoln Park Conservatory. Granted, it didn't hurt that they are a remarkably beautiful family!








Thanks to the Merritt's for making my afternoon!
