Andrea Brogle Photography Blog - Chicago, Chicagoland, North Shore, Lincoln Park and suburbs bio picture

Thanks for stopping by!

I am Andrea Brogle, a modern lifestyle portrait photographer in the Chicagoland area.  I specialize in newborns, babies, children and maternity.  My blog will feature previews from recent sessions, announcements, new products offerings as well as a glimpse into my life.  With three young children (I have a 5 year old son, a 3 year old daughter and a 6 month old son) and a loving husband I will surely have something to talk about!

Enjoy your stay and come back often!

 

Those twin boys are back ~ Chicago Child Photography

A quick note on the belly to baby and fall sessions… spaces are starting to fill up so if you are wanting to get in the calendar in September, October or November please contact me…  September and October are my crazy months so dates do fill up quickly.

Now this family I photographed last summer and the boys have grown so much, and this beautiful mama is expecting another little one (who I get to meet very soon).  I will post her maternity session in another post since there were so many cute portraits of these boys I just could not resist!

6 Months Old ~ Chicago Baby Photographer

I am now offering a belly to baby plan, so when you book your studio maternity session your studio newborn session fee is waived.   If you would like to review my full product offering please contact me.  Please contact me for more information.**

This little man was born right around the same time as my little guy so I was not able to do his newborn portraits but I’m glad his mom still invited me over for his 6 month portraits.  His looks are just so captivating and I love baby chunk!  Such a personality - he is so animated with his expressions.  Thanks R Family!

Family Fun in CHicago ~ Chicago Family Photographer

I first photographed this family when the youngest was 4 months old and now he is so big.  Time just flies.  I know I say that all the time but I really wish there was something I could do to slow it down.  This family is so kind and fun, I loved visiting with them again.  And are natural red heads attracted to my camera?  It seems like I am always meeting another red head cutie!

Could Not Decide…~ Chicago Newborn Photography

…which images to include!  This session was forever ago and I just kept putting it off since I could not decide which images to include in this post.  This peanut has the best hair EVER  He looks so much like a rock star, when his mom pulled out the Rock hat I was in love.  He was the best newborn and oh so cute.  Thank you so much for visiting me in my studio B Family.  I had a great time and am so happy to have spent the morning with you.  Mr M is so precious, enjoy him and his rockstar personality!

Family Vacation ~ Chicago Family and Kid Photographer

We went on our annual family vacation to Michigan this year again and had a wonderful time.  I cannot believe it has almost been a month since my last post.  With hubby getting his MBA, having a horrible flu virus run through the family and preparing for our vacation June just sort of went by without me knowing it.  I have been so busy and am busily trying to get blog posts done from February…yes February!  So I am going to start this marathon blog posting with some beach pictures of our first day in Michigan.  These were all taken with my new point and shoot camera.

Out Sick

Yes, I am alive.  A stomach virus decided to invaid my house on Friday (all five of us were sick pretty much at the same time).  I finally got out of bed yesterday but still felt horrible - hubby left for work so I had no choice.  It seemed the younger you were the fast you bounced back.  So I will start responding to e-mails and phone calls today.  Hopefully I will get back to everyone by tomorrow.  Thank you so much for your patience.

Summer Fun - My Kids

Here is my official kick-off to summer - watermelon and water!  We have been having July weather in May and my kiddos have been taking advantage of the sprinkler and kiddy pool since the Splash Park is not open yet.  My little girl hates to be photographed so she is just walking around refusing to look at me, but my boy loves to have his picture taken and loved the “action” shots.
