This sweet family braved the rain, wind and lightning for this photo shoot and their adorable little girl was full of both cute little grins and her best pouty faces too. This ranks as the most impressive weather I've photographed in yet, and amazingly, you can hardly tell!

Brotherly Love - Elgin IL Photographer

This cute set of brothers were all smiles as we began the session, and then the little guy was not into the idea shortly after. However, he was coerced by mom to come up with a few more grins and couldn't resist a smile or two when he was goofing around with his big bro. Love how their eyes sparkle in these!

Tutu Cute - Aurora, IL Photographer

This lovely little family was doing their best to beat the heat during their shoot, and were in great spirits throughout our time together. Their baby girl was so sweet in her little tutu, and was making her mama proud in it as she grinned over at dad. It is so fun, as a photographer, to meet great families like this one and be a part of documenting their children's milestones (this little girl's 6 mo). Looking forward to seeing you in the fall, {E} Family!

Standing Tall - Elburn, IL Photographer

This little man was great to photograph as he was full of smiles and joy throughout the whole shoot. At 6 months he was very excited about standing and was his happiest to be held up to try out his newfound skill. And Mom and Dad were in good spirits too, despite the burst of rain we got half way through. Their love for their little guy was so evident and I hope they enjoy the way that came across in their photos. Enjoy, {D} Family!

Annie - Glen Ellyn, IL Photographer

I was so excited to take Annie's headshots for the 1-sheet she is producing in the process of getting a book published. She is full of energy and life, and joy radiates from her every move. So much so, that in the photos of her not smiling, she doesn't even look like herself. Such a beautiful person, both inside and out, here's Annie : )

Lovely January Day - Geneva, IL Photographer

It was such a great thing to be able to take photos of this extended family outside in January! The unseasonably warm weather and beautiful late afternoon sun made for the perfect backdrop at Peck Farm in Geneva. This is a gift for the two family's parents, and they have lots of options to choose from. Enjoy~

Cho Family - Winfield, IL Photographer

I had a really fun time photographing the Cho Family. I had previously taken pictures of their beautiful daughters, but got to take some of the whole family this time. It was a cool morning, but they had good attitudes and stayed lighthearted despite the weather. Their friendly and fun personalities definitely shined through in the photos I took. Enjoy!
