Fashion show If the Bow Fits | Meet and Greet with Melissa Gorga from Real Housewives of NJ

This past weekend, I had the fabulous opportunity to be the exclusive photographer at Café Buonaro’s In Naperville, IL for the SOLD OUT Meet & Greet & Fashion Show with Real Housewives of New Jersey Stars, Joe, Melissa & Antonia Gorga. Guests enjoyed a sit-down dinner featuring a salad, appetizer, and family-style entrée selection, two glasses of wine, and dessert.  Every guest also had the opportunity to meet and take photographs with the Gorga’s in an intimate, family-style setting; and purchase a copy of Melissa’s hit debut single, “On Display.” Melissa & Joe Gorga took their time talking with each and every one of their most loyal fans as the children in attendance ran up and squeezed both Melissa and Joe several times throughout the night as if they were relatives. The Gorga Family is one of the most down to earth families I have encountered. My daughter, Addison just couldn’t get enough of her either.

Antonia Gorga the daughter of Joe & Melissa walked in a fashion show for http://www.ifthebowfits.com/ – Chicago’s premiere fashion boutique for children showcasing some of their most popular designs. Additional guests included Real Housewives of New Jersey stars Jaime Laurita and Kim Pirrella, celebrity make-up artist George Miguel Costa, and radio personality Jill Hickey of NotSoSoccerMomRadio.

Sponsors for this event include All Natural Skin Care, BriZan Couture, Midwest Crochet, and Karisma Boutique.

Family Fun | Plainfield, IL Family Photography

It is always so much fun for me to work with families right in my own neighborhood.  And even better when the little girl goes to school with my little girl.  This family was so much fun to work with this past fall season.  Despite the fact that the weather was so crazy, we got out there in the rain and took some really fun pictures.  What a beautiful and fun family they are.

Playing Dress Up | Addison Il Photographer

Every little girl deserves a chance to play dress and what a special time it is to be able to capture with a photo.  Plan your photo shoot with Riley Jolie Photography and let your princess shine.

A special thanks goes out to Nicole Rousseau from Poshtique Children’s Boutique for helping me set the scene.

 

Holiday Ornaments | Products and Designs

Metal Photo Ornaments

What a great idea for a gift for a loved one during the holidays.  Give a gift that will last a lifetime.

Price Range between $25-$35 + tax and shipping

All metal ornament frames have dyes that are infused onto a specially coated aluminum, for a durable memento that will bring joy for many holidays to come.  Metal photo ornaments are double-sided with a high gloss surface.  On the round, oval, rectangular, tapered and hexagonal shapes, a metal border is visible on the front of the ornament.  Scalloped and snowflake shapes have no border.

Their First!!! Chicago IL Maternity Photographer

The mommy and daddy glow

How exciting it is to be expecting your very first baby?  This mommy and daddy to be were as cute as could be.  Not only did the mommy have the pregnancy glow but so did daddy.  They were just beaming with excitement to meet their little girl.  This little girl is going to be so lucky to have such wonderful parents.
