1 year | Libertyville IL photographer

Add another graduated 1 year planner to my list. So bittersweet!

Bittersweet because I love getting to know the family and their baby. But sad to not see them every few months anymore. I saw the G family for her 3 month, 6 month, 9 months, and finally her 1 year session.  Smashcake session!  Man, she was all over the place since she can now walk. It’s all about finding distractions for her to sit still for a split second while I photographed her.  I pulled out all my tricks for this sweet one.

Oh my gosh, don’t the photos of daddy and daughter just melt your heart?  I love how it’s such a genuine moment between them and it’s so sweet.  Miss thing didn’t want much to do with her cake, but that’s perfectly fine!  Nothing that shoving her hands into the cake and wiping it on her face won’t fix to make her to get into it.  Haha.

I know I always say it (I have to because it’s true), I loved getting to know the G family.  Everyone I meet leaves as friends and this is especially true when I spend the first year getting to know them.  At least I know I will see them at other social things around the area, so I will still get to see her grow up over the years.

If you are looking for a Libertyville IL photographer, my studio is based in Lake Zurich and I photograph families from all over Lake County and Cook County including Barrington, Long Grove, Arlington Heights, Palatine, and Chicago.  2015 Summer sessions are currently booking and nearly full and fall sessions are beginning to fill, as well.

The sooner you contact me to set your appointment, the better.  If you are needing a newborn photographer, most moms book in their 2nd trimester to lock in their date.  I cannot wait to hear from you!
