outdoor family photography Lake County IL

I cannot believe the last time I saw this family, this big guy was a newborn! Time flies, you guys! I for sure spent some time at the end to focus on just him for those adorable milestone photos. Mr. Serious was all about the “what are you doing” glares when he first met me this round. You know the look – the sweet, big-eyed look which then led to the sweetest smiles as he warmed up to me. This spot in Lake County, IL was a bit mosquito-heavy (yay rain), but was magical for their family photos. This family is easy to work with and dealt with the bugginess like true champions – THANK YOU!
