Fun fall families...

Saturday proved to be the perfect fall day to capture some of my very favorite people! The crisp air, perfect light and spectacular color made it easy for all to smile...

It's FALL y'all!

I'm pretty sure my friends will be thrilled when the last leaves make their way to the ground in the next few weeks - so I'll finally talk about something other than the beautiful trees. :) There are a few days left to get in some great fall family pics in the Chicagoland area. If you're interested, I can be reached at 847-815-8736. Happy Fall!!

Sweet sisters...

These gorgeous gals make my job easy - and FUN!

Growing up...

I have had the privilege of watching these kiddos grow up before my eyes - and from behind my lens. Just when I think they can't possibly get any cuter - well, they somehow DO.

a little logo goes a long way...

I am SOOOO excited about my new logo! When I first saw her work, I knew I HAD to have Lindsay pen my logo. My introduction to Lindsay Letters came just as I was ready for a fresh look - lucky me! If ever you're in need of some gorgeous writing - or fabulous creative inspiration - head on over to meet Lindsay! xoxo

Back in Business...

Hi! It's me here - the absent photographer. I've been on a very extended maternity leave. Thank you to all who have continued to call and request photos - it was so hard to say NO, but I think you'll agree this sweetie was worth the time...



I'm truly blessed to be a mom of three sweet munchkins and love watching them grow. I also love watching YOUR kids grow! I'm excited to say I'm once again capturing life's moments from behind the lens. Contact me today to schedule your next session. sandraruffphotography@gmail.com

Sweet Rylee at six months...

Boy, oh boy!

I love little boys! They are just such unpredictable fun! So I was thrilled when a friend asked me to photograph her two little guys recently - here are a few favorites.

Sweet siblings...

I love these three kiddos. My oldest child is smitten with Elena - and if he could take his eyes off her for a second, he'd be equally taken with little Lucia. Lucky for them, brother CJ is watching out for the boys! Cute, cute kids - and once you see their parents, you'll agree that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree!

girls, girls, girls...

Welcome sweet baby Kira! And what a lucky girl to have two such fun, sweet sisters. Look out boys! I have a feeling dad's hair may go prematurely gray - especially if they're lucky enough to look like their beautiful mama!

Sweet six months...

This little cutie, Marin, is six months old already! I've never met a baby who was SOOOO easy going! She was such a great participant! Happy six months Marin!
