S family| family photographer Mundelein IL

The weather is finally nice, so you know what that means?  Outdoor sessions are in full swing!  Granted, I think this has been the rainiest season we’ve ever had and I have been rescheduling sessions just about weekly.  But it’s all good – no problems working anyone in and I’m right on track with juggling sessions, editing, and home life this summer.  Whew!

A few weeks ago I met up with the S family again in the Lake County area.  I cannot believe how big this dude is getting!  I photographed his newborn, 3 mo, 6 mo, 9 mo and 1 year photos and was so happy to get to see him again for this mini session, as well.  He is always on the go and I loved seeing him explore the surroundings.  Especially those boats on the water.  He was all about them!  Especially the ones going fast and zooming by.

Aren’t they just beautiful?  Also, can we talk about little Xander’s lock of hair at the nape of his neck.  Gah!  I love it!  I know mom was afraid to cut it and have it disappear.  I knew I had to grab one of those little detail shots so she always had a sweet nice reminder of it.  I loved how the golden hour was in full swing once we hit the docks, too.  It’s that glowy, warm light that I just love for my sessions!  Thanks, S family, for allowing me to photograph you again!  It was a blast!

If you’re ready to book a summer or fall session, please contact me now as I am currently booking through the end of the year!  Space each month is down to single digits, so please don’t wait and miss getting your own custom session scheduled with me.  My studio is in downtown Lake Zurich, IL however this time of year I love meeting families throughout the area to photograph them.
