Can it be true?? Where has it gone? Does time really travel faster with each new year? I’m going to do my best to sloooww down and enjoy the last weeks before school supplies, new clothes, books and lunch boxes rule my world. There is still plenty of time for Beach portraits at Illinois State Beach, Wilmette Beach or a location of your choice. There are so many moments to capture that will tell the story of your summer in 2011. Maybe your little one learned to tie his shoes or your daughter took her first steps. Those are the images I would want on my walls. My new favorite is “underdog” My little one and her dad spending an afternoon that might go by forgotten if not for capturing the moment. Let me recreate these moments or watch new ones unfold during your next photo session with Roeckell Photography. Take care!

I’ve added a few of my old favorite summer shots. Little miss C’s eyes caught the setting sun in such a way that she has no pupil, only my reflection. Okay I wouldn’t mess with her, would you?
Sorry for this indulgent repeat, one of my favorite beach captures. We spent the whole day at the beach and I had brought this dress and crisp white shirts for my three boys to take photos as the sun set. All the little ones carefully changed in the beach house where the floor was covered in muddy sand and water. They all managed to stay clean for maybe three portraits then the fun began. My husband however, never made it into the portraits. His crisp white shirt landed on the shower floor!?? I know, right?? Oh well I remember that day in a beautiful way.
Little S below marched into this puddle like she owned it while her big brother clung to Mom on dry land. Her reach for the sun makes me smile every time I see it.
