family photography Schaumburg IL

Where do I even start? I’ve known this family since college, way back before any of us were married. Please don’t do the math. I’ve been to their wedding (which was epic, by the way). I’ve photographed their girls as itty-bitty babies. And now here are their girls, who clearly are no longer itty-bitty babies.

Their youngest really did not want to do photos when we all arrived at this spot in Schaumburg, IL. She was shy, hiding, etc. The typical initial response for many kids and they eventually come out of their shell. Their oldest is very vocal and had a lot of ideas on how exactly she wanted her photos to be taken. I loved it! Two very different girls with two very different personalities and they were so sweet for each other while they were with me. Their personalities sound exactly like my girls. And much like my house, I am sure there is never a dull moment at home.

I absolutely loved meeting them at this spot! I don’t use it often because the light isn’t always right, but at certain times of the year it really is perfect! It was definitely busy this day with families wanting to be outdoors to enjoy the weather (which means some extra Photoshop work to remove those people) but it was worth it in the end.

If you’re in Chicago or the surrounding northwest suburbs, I would love to talk with you about your family photos! I have a lot of spots I love to use (like this one) and will even style your family to take that stress away!

Otherwise please contact me early to ensure a spot on my calendar. Fall sessions (like this one) tend to book months in advance, so earlier is always better. =)
