Baby Corran's Newborn Session | Roscoe, IL & Honengah Forest Preserve

When I graduated from Rockford University... there was only one other BFA major alongside with me. Jennifer and I grew close during our years at college together and working side by side to make art and suffer through all those art critiques. She's a beautiful woman and I'm honored to be her friend and to have had the honor to take Corran's newborn photos. Here's a look back at just a few of my favorites.
