{Little Dancer} Little Pals Photography – Sterling IL

Children/Family / Special Events / 1 comments

Well it is that time of year again! Dance recitals…….. every young girls dream to be on the stage coming true.

This year happens to be the first time my little one will be following in her older sister’s footsteps and performing on stage.

I am certain there will be tears in my eyes as I see my youngest on stage just as there was for my oldest daughter each and every time she performed. It never gets old. And you never can check those emotions at the door. There is something so special and touching about seeing your children showing off their independence, confidence and lets not forget those adorable little costumes!

Speaking of costumes….. we picked her very first dance recital costume this past week. So of course being a mom with all her own studio equipment I had to take the opportunity to get some pictures for the memory book! Here is some we captured today. Isn’t she the most adorable thing ever? Well yes I am a bit biased because she is mine, but I am ok with that! :)

Today I had the pleasure of photographing The C Family. They stopped by for a few family images.

Not that you can tell by looking at the photo but Dad was quite the joke cracker! Is that a word?

I learned a little about PBR and that doesn’t stand for the adult beverage. HA HA.

And young Miss D I am sure you will be seeing more of her in the years to come.

Here is your quick sneak peek……..

{Seeing Stars 2009 – Variety Show – LSSI} Little Pals Photography Sterling IL

Special Events / 1 comments

For the second year in a row I have photographed the final dress rehearsal for the LSSI – Seeing Stars Program.

Heather Krick does an amazing job putting together a fabulous show. The cast has many regulars who come back each year and put in many hours of practice in just a few short months to put on these shows to benefit a wonderful organization. www.lssi.org

I have nearly 700 images from the show and it was so hard narrowing down my choices to share with you. I felt it only fitting that since opening night was on Friday the 13th (which totally had no effect on this great crew) to share 13 images.

Cast members dont forget to email me if you are interested in purchasing the CD of the show images! Contact me for more details lorilee@littlepalsphotography.com

Hard to believe how time flies! My little Princess will be 3 years old next weekend.

Today we had fun playing in the studio.

I picked up this cute little dress at a craft show last weekend. I only wish a full view shot of the dress was worthy to show you……. but as with most 3years olds……. holding still is very rare and any time they stand the twirl and move…..

Children/Family / 0 comments

Today we took some family time at the park……… and as always with my camera in tow!

Most of the playground equipment was still wet from the morning dew. Except of course the enclosed tunnel slide.

Our princess was a bit scared to brave the dark tunnel LOL so daddy had to show her it was ok first. He almost didnt make it out of the tunnel……. but I will spare you that pic!

Here are a few pics…….
