Summer in Bloom - Wheaton, IL Photographer

This beautiful family of three, plus one on the way, were fun to photograph for a second time at Cantigny Park. Their little girl has grown tons since her newborn portraits, and the love between this family was more than evident in every photo I was able to capture of them. Cantigny was in full summer bloom, and it added to the gorgeous backdrop behind them. Enjoy your portraits {I} Family!

Twice as Nice - Elgin, IL Photographer

This lovely family is one I've had the pleasure of photographing before, and is one that will be "twice as nice" in a few months as Angela is due with twins! They are clearly a family with a lot of love to go around, and were encouraging and helping one another throughout our time that day. Always a joy to work with, I look forward to meeting your little ones on the way!

The Big Island Family - Wheaton, IL Photographer

It was a sunny, cool day at Cantigny when I had the opportunity of photographing this extended family of 14. It was a little daunting, I'll admit, but all 8 kids did amazingly well for a full two-hour shoot! These two families haven't seen each other in years as one lives in Wheaton and the other in Africa, so you can tell by the cousins gestures of love towards one another how much they were enjoying being together. They have had the privilege of getting together on "The Big Island" as grandpa and grandma lived there for quite a few years, but the midwest's mild spring weather and Cantigny's natural beauty made for a beautiful backdrop on this occasion. Hope you all can enjoy these photos and your love for one another as you look at them and remember your fun weeks together as a family. 

The {M} Family - Arlington Heights, IL Photographer

It was a cool morning at Cantigny the day we took this family's photographs, but we still managed to get some cute ones of the family and of grandma who was visiting town. The leaves were a beautiful backdrop  for this adorable family.

Baby Gen at Cantigny - Wheaton, IL Photographer

I had a great time capturing 1 year old photos of baby Gen. She is full of life and energy, and did a great job smiling for the camera despite the hot temperatures! She had fun playing with all of the plants and flowers she came across at Cantigny, a gorgeous backdrop for photographs. Hope you love them mom & dad!
