R Family | family photos Barrington IL

It’s hard to believe this guy is closing in on being 1 year old when this session took place last fall! I feel like his newborn photos JUST happened…and its hard to believe that I just saw them for baby #2, as well. SO FUN!

Like any parents, they were somewhat worried about shyness and stranger danger at this age. He was pretty clingy at first, but once he got over me he was super smily and goofy! Plus, it made for some sweet photos of him snuggling up with his mom and his dad. Some kids are super excited and don’t want to be held at all, so those snuggling shots are sometimes tricky to get if that’s the case. But if they’re shy and wanting that comfort, bam, instant heart-melting photos.

This session happened in early fall just as some of the colors were starting to change. We had some super cute tiny white flowers that hadn’t died off, so I was happy they stuck around for this sessions! Early fall is my favorite time to be shooting – there’s still awesome light, but the weather is just starting to cool so there’s a lot of green but the colors are just starting to emerge.

I’m excited to see this family grow over again, but for now I am glad I got this “last hurrah” of them as a family of three.
