Lovely | Rosalba Berardi Northshore Child Photographer

One word to describe this photo session is Lovely. These beautiful girls are best friends and they had so much fun being photographed together. We ran around the gardens talked a lot about school, sports, girlie things and may I add their were lots of giggles!! They both were so much fun to photograph,  to me back to when I was their age.  That seems like ages ago...  Thanks girls for such a fun photo session!!   You both are Lovely!!

All Smiles | Chicago Child & Family Photographer

I was delighted to hear the news of my clients second baby. Isn't he just darling! I just can't get over his adorable smile and he had plenty of them to share with us though out the photo session. The last time I photographed his big brother he was around the same age and I can not get over how much they look alike. It was a pleasure working with you again. Congratulations and many more blessings!

Happy Mother's Day | Chicago Child & Family Photographer

Mother's Day Story: Mother is in the kitchen and feels a little tap on her back. She turns around and her son hands her a pale pink envelope and says(in the sweetest little voice) "this is for you mommy" She opens the envelope up to find this...A hand written note that her son wrote all on his own...My son is the sweetest little boy and who ever he marries will be one lucky gal. For now he is mine!

These are the little moments that reminds us of the beauty of motherhood. Cherish every moment...they go by fast...
Wishing you a day of all things beautiful...
Happy Mother's Day!




A handmade puzzle from my beautiful daughter that she made at school. This year both of my children came home with the most wonderful handmade gifts. Picture Frames, Books, Puzzles and Cards that were given to me at the Mother's Day Party at school this year. These are the gifts that I cherish the most.

Strawberry Heart | Chicago Childrens Photographer Rosalba Berardi

Every Photo has a story...Last year on Valentines Day I was cutting strawberries for my children and I look down and sure enough there was a perfectly shaped heart from a single slice. It's the little things that make me smile!! and of course I had to photograph the little heart.... Glad I did because one of my children ate it in seconds!
Hope everyone's heart's are happy today as they should be everyday!

Stay tune for some fun Spring Photo Session News.

National Geographic | Rosalba Berardi Photography

I can not be more excited to share with you that one of my images was selected and published by the Photo Editors of National Geographic.  (April 13, 2010 ) When I was a young child I was transfixed by the powerful imagery in this magazine and to have one of my images selected is certainly a dream come true! The image that was selected is one of my all time favorites of my son looking into his fish tank with his eyes glued to the tank.  He had no idea I was taking the photo. It was a quick moment in his childhood that I just had to capture.

A special Thank You goes out to the Editors of National Geographic.

What a great way to end 2010 with two of my images selected and published by Kodak and National Geographic.  A true honor indeed.

Autumn Days | Chicago Children's Photographer Rosalba Berardi Photography

I end my November posts with one of my favorite Autumn Photo's taken this year. I came across this lovely poem that describes this image perfectly. Enjoy!

To my wonderful family and clients near and far~  Happy Thanksgiving!!
 


Yellow, mellow, ripened days,
Sheltered in a golden coating;
O'er the dreamy, listless haze,
White and dainty cloudlets floating;
Winking at the blushing trees,
And the sombre, furrowed fallow;
Smiling at the airy ease,
Of the southward flying swallow
Sweet and smiling are thy ways,
Beauteous, golden Autumn days.
Will Carleton
Autumn Days.

New York | Rosalba Berardi Photography

As we approached September 11th. I would like to share with you images that I captured this summer in NY. I came across these memorial tiles and I stopped to read each and every tile. I was moved by all of the touching messages left on these tiles. I can not imagine.....


New York has a very special place in my heart...I have family history there and it is where I started my creative career 10 years ago.  This is my September 11th. tribute

Twins | Chicago Children's Photographer Rosalba Berardi

 This North Shore beach photo session was simply divine! These 5 year old twins could not get enough of the water, sandy hands and digging for treasures. I truly enjoyed capturing these beautiful moments of these cutie pies. I am amazed how much they have grown. Have a great time on your first day of Kindergarten sweet children.
