Another year goes by and it’s another fabulous outdoor photography session with this family. I’m lucky enough to meet with them twice a year, usually in the summer and then again in the fall and it’s so fun to see their kiddos grow. Getting to play around with them and act silly is kinda my thing. Plus, they always know me at the Pez person. In case you haven’t seen it, I will sometimes stick a Pez dispenser on my camera. It’s one of those silly tricks I learned along the way when photographing families with younger kids. These guys don’t need it now, but sometimes I break it out for fun.
Anywho, this spot I don’t use too often but man was is perfection on this summer night! Sometimes the district will mow it all down and it is pretty “blah” so I tend to stay away. But the light and everything was magical for them! And bonus – no mosquitoes! yay!
But seriously…let’s talk about that sunlight. I am missing it HARD right now. I know it’s spring and all, but c’mon. I’m ready for evenings like this, Chicagoland! Bring on the outdoor summer photos!
If you’re ready for some family photos this summer, let’s chat! Since 2009 I have been photographing all throughout Lake and Northern Cook Counties here in Illinois. Lake Zurich, Barrington, Schaumburg, Highland park, Libertyville, Long Grove, Palatine, Chicago, Arlington Heights…you name it, I’ve either photographed a family there or one FROM there.
Summer sessions book about 5 weeks in advance. This give us time to plan, select outfits (don’t worry, I’ll do it for you), and be totally prepared so you have a smooth and FUN session.
