Maricel Cruz Photography Chicagoland Wedding and Portrait Photographer

In January I decided to visit my very dear friend Cheryl who lives in Texas. It had been a long time since we’d seen each other and since she had Abby, traveling to Chicago was not something they planned on doing anytime soon. So thanks to an awesome deal with Southwest I took the opportunity to visit Cheryl and Aaron, and FINALLY meet their almost one year old baby girl, Abigail.

I was so excited to see them! Of course I had an ulterior motive for the visit, I had every intention to photograph this beautiful baby girl! Abby was the sweetest baby with such beautiful blue eyes and a red nose! First we took a few photos of her playing at home, then we managed to have a nice day and took some photos at the Dallas Arboretum. Here are just a few photos from that visit.

Cheryl, can’t wait for you guys to visit us in Chicago (hint,hint)!

Mommy and Daddy’s favorite action photo so I had to post!

Happy and Edwin were my very first clients, they hired me to photograph their 4 month old son, Caleb who is now 2 years old! They trusted me to photograph Caleb and am thankful for them. They recently had Josue who was born at 9 lbs. 14 oz. and asked me to photograph him when he was just 12 days old. What a beautiful baby boy! He was so alert and patient with me, he seems to have a knack for being in front of the camera. Congratulations Happy & Edwin, Josue is beautiful! Caleb will make an awesome big brother!

Here are some samples from Josue’s newborn session.

Caleb was feeling a little left out so he put on some glasses for me!
