Newborn, baby and child photographer news and information
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 two young children (I have a 4 year old son and a 18 month old daughter) and a loving husband I will surely have something to talk about!
Enjoy your stay and come back often!
I photographed this proud mama back in the fall. Her and her husband are some of the nicest people I have met. I was shocked at how tiny she was, there was just this little tiny barely there basketball. How could she be due in only a few weeks?! Well some how a good o’ regular size newborn was in there being comfy as can be. I have no idea how that worked but it did!
February 6, 2010 - 8:59 pm - Very nice shots. I love the lighting. Very artistic.
I just cannot beleive how fast my maternity leave is flying by, um, have I said that before? Anyway just a quick few business things. First I do have a couple of sessions available for February. These are in studio sessions only and include maternity, newborns and babies. March is almost full and April has some session times open. So if you are wanting to book a session just let me know. Second, I am still not exactly sure when I will start on-location sessions again…probably April. Evers has been quite an adjustment and as of right now I do not see on-location session starting until then. Keep checking back here for updates.
So, now another session from the fall. I was so happy to spend the morning with this family. They were so kind and the kiddos were full of laughter. We had a huge bed to play on and got lucky with some fall weather to play outside.
January 22, 2010 - 3:20 pm - Beautiful session! I love the energy you've captured of these kids!
January 24, 2010 - 9:33 pm - Love your work, these are stunning!
January 25, 2010 - 10:16 pm - oh wow, those are so much fun! Love them, great great captures.
January 27, 2010 - 1:04 pm - Andrea- So funny your last comment says you couldn't stop going through my blog.... I can't stop going through yours. Are you kidding me? Amazing work!!
January 30, 2010 - 7:39 am - Black and white lifestyle is my most favorite. These are so fun! Gorgeous kiddos, wow! Awesome.
February 2, 2010 - 2:42 pm - What a beautiful slice of life you've shared with us here. These are all so fun and wonderful. Having seen the spark in the little girls eyes, I just love the image of her looking out the window, like 'what's next, bring it on'.
February 2, 2010 - 10:09 pm - Love the jumping on the bed shots... fun!!
Here is a cute little man from back before my maternity leave. He was so tiny, had a full head of hair and those lips are just too precious…so pouty and full. He was so much fun as were his parents.
January 17, 2010 - 1:10 pm - These are beautiful!!
January 19, 2010 - 4:05 pm - Oh Andrea! I haven't been here in FOREVER and I'll be back often... these are stunning! You've got the touch... just beautiful.
January 22, 2010 - 3:23 pm - These are amazing!! They are all beautiful but the last one is my favorite - I love the colors and tones here!
January 25, 2010 - 10:15 pm - Those are beautiful, very sweet captures.
January 27, 2010 - 12:46 pm - Gorgeous images and I am in love with your newborn work!
So here is my new logo. Yeah, I know basically what I had before but I love it! Hopefully the newborn site will be out in February as well as a few other enhancements.
I have been working on a new website that will be filled with maternity and newborn images only as well as detailed information about sessions and the studio. Of course I will still have my current site available too. I really need to put more recent portraits in my galleries…hmmm something else to add to the list before the end of my maternity leave. Anyway here are some images you will likely see in the new website…
January 8, 2010 - 9:35 pm - Love love that first one! These are all beautiful!
January 9, 2010 - 1:13 pm - your rock.
January 12, 2010 - 1:09 pm - Beautiful session, such adorable baby. Love your colors!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season. I am so excited about the new year and what’s to come. Both in my family life and business. My business will be undergoing some changes, one being a new logo I will be unveiling soon. It is VERY similar to my old one but I am so in love with it and feel it better represents my business and me. I am working hard to have many of the changes completed before my maternity leave is up but that time is flying by faster than I thought. I cannot wait to start photographing newborns, babies, children and families again but at the same time am loving every minute I am spending with my kiddos.
I will be posting over the next few weeks about a wonderful pregnancy/baby clothing store in the city which I LOVE, sessions that I never blogged, as well as more of my little guy (maybe I should throw in a few my other kids too!?)
Well here is one of two of my main men…I adore this portrait. I just love how small E looks in his daddy’s arms. I love the skin on skin portraits…there is just something so simple and emotional about them. I hope more new daddies will be brave enough for images like this…
I cannot beleive my little guy is already a month old. I just hate how time flies by. They grow so big so fast. Mr. E is still not even as big as my other two were at birth! He seems so big to me though since he was so tiny to begin with. So far he is still a great sleeper (no less than four hour periods at night) and during the day he is just as content as can be, well until he gets sleepy that is.
I just got his birth announcements delivered and am frantically trying to get them mailed out so I can mail out Christmas cards tomorrow. I really do not want to go to the post office since it is so cold here. I am evenb freezing in my house!
Well here are a couple portraits on black.
December 16, 2009 - 4:28 pm - Oh he is soo tiny!! What a beautiful baby he is. LOVE the second one!!!
Hope you guys don’t get of seeing my new little man since I have tons of images of him to share!
December 8, 2009 - 8:52 pm - Love seeing pictures of your little guy!! So sweet
Hello All! I am finally making a blog post about this precious little one that we welcomed into this world on November 15th (I only started my maternity leave 4 days before!) He came a week early and had a little bit of a rough start but he is doing great now. He is such a sweetheart and we love him to pieces (my other two have taken quite well to him which has been a relief, though there is still time for that to change). He is so peaceful and sleepy (as am I…hehe). I have taken so many portraits of him and just got around to proofing one! Life with three kids under 5 is quite crazy. We are slowly adjusting and are just trying to figure out our new routine. I will post more portraits as soon as I get around to them, I still need to design and mail out his birth announcement before holiday cards…yikes!!!
December 3, 2009 - 10:28 pm - HE IS BEAUTIFUL. Congratulations!!
December 4, 2009 - 12:01 am - What a cutie he is!!!! so sweet. beautiful shot
December 4, 2009 - 9:18 am - He's beautiful, Andrea. Just perfect! Congratulations.
December 6, 2009 - 7:20 am - Congratulations Andrea! He is precious. I love his little lips. I can't wait to see more!
December 6, 2009 - 7:53 pm - Oh, Andrea.....he is sooo beautiful!! I just love all that hair! I cannot wait to see many more images of this little fella. Looking forward to catching up once things settle down for you a bit :)
December 8, 2009 - 3:18 pm - Andrea, he's gorgeous!! Congrats again.
I am on maternity leave. I am just wrapping up orders for clients and am waiting for this little one to make his/her arrival! So since I am on maternity leave I will not be answering the phone much (if at all). If you would like to contact me e-mail will be the quickest way to get in touch with me. If you are interested in booking a session for after my maternity leave I am booking for February 2010 and beyond. Definitely for the month of February I will be holding studio sessions only. On-location sessions will start around March/April. If you have any questions just let me know.
Now here was a cute little 6 month old with the most piercing blue eyes…and I loved her rolls by the way. Too precious!
January 24, 2010 - 9:39 pm - These are so beautiful, and she is so adorable!!
