SANTA BABY – Wheaton Newcomers Club Santa Pictures

I can remember Sunday breakfast with Santa – there was a restaurant on 95th and Western called Snoopy’s – it closed LONG LONG LONG ago – but clear as my memories are – I can remember the people we went with – I can remember Santa – and the whispers in his ear on the list I carefully prepared. My mother has hundreds of pictures of the “event’s” we attended – and those pictures – while fading from age – are some of my most precious memories. The friends, some of which are life long friends, are now preparing their kids for this wonderful holiday season and making new traditions…Do you remember your family traditions? Do you have a Santa Picture tradition???

The Newcomers Club of Wheaton has just such an event —

Santa Pictures

I happen to know they are going to have a WONDERFUL Santa and we are going to take wonderful pictures – why not create a new family tradition – and bring your little ones for a great breakfast and a great picture that avoids the dreaded mall – and spends time with your loved ones!!!

The Newcomers Club of Wheaton, Warrenville, and Winfield is a women’s social organization offering a fun environment to socialize and make new life-long friends.

Please join us – with Kate Dwyer Photography – for a wonderful day of Santa pictures – the Newcomers club would welcome you – and I, well I will take your picture for them – this is a fund raiser for the organization as well.

Again – those memories of a long closed restaurant are fading – but the warm memories – those moments with Mom and Dad and my little brother – those will never fade.

Hope to see you –

Chicago. MY kind of town. Indulge me for a moment.

I grew up in Chicago. I have a LOVE of my hometown. It amazes me that each time I visit, I see something I didn’t see last time I was there. Yes, I am a little romantic about that town.

Today I had the honor of photographing the daughter of someone who also calls Chicago her home. Funny – I think we are still so young – and when I see our kids it just takes my breath away. This young lady looks exactly the same as Mom did at the same age. She oozes confidence and spunk (just like Mom) and has just made my day.

I want to share some of these portraits we took today:

I can tell you this much – Chicago has one million places we can take portraits. Getting to see art in just the most random spots, well that is just the most fun in the world. It was funny – on my drive in and my drive out I think I saw 4 other photographers taking portraits – and I wanted to run over and say ohhhhh let me see – because as much as I love getting to do what I love – I love even more getting to see people see how I see them through my eyes.

That being said – today – well it was magic. Thank you to a friend from age 4 – Thank you to a NEW friend ages 8 and 10 – and THANK YOU to C – and thank you to YOU for stopping by.

Getting to be YOUR photographer – well let me thank you in advance.

xoxo
