One year session Lake Zurich IL

Aaaah the amazing one year session.  That moment your baby officially graduates the baby stage and is in full-on toddler mode.  They have BIG personalities, BIG laughs, and of course, BIG meltdowns to match.  It’s an awesome age and for me, a little bittersweet.  It means they’ve graduated my grow-with-me plan and I won’t see them every few months like I had that first year.  Lucky for me, this is my best friend’s daughter so I know I’ll get to see her all the time.

We did some typical studio shots, but then mom busted out a tutu that was hers when she was little.  So liu of a smashcake she opted for this rainbow tutu and pearls, which was pretty fun.  We then popped right outside the studio to brave the cold for some more photos.

Spring and summer sessions are quickly being filled with nearly every single weekend already booked.  The good news?  Outdoor sessions are done an hour before sunset, so for the summer they are easy to squeeze in after work on a typical weekday.  With only a handful of sessions remaining between now and the end of June, now is the time to contact me if you’re needing to schedule your session.  My private studio is located in downtown Lake Zurich, IL.  However outdoor sessions take place throughout Lake and Cook Counties.

Family and milestone sessions are usually booked 3 months in advance and newborn sessions are booked during mom’s second trimester.  Of course I do everything I can to accommodate families on shorter notice, but the sooner you contact me, the better your chances of me having availability.  stacy@golden-photography.net
