Booger cookies | family photographer Chicago

Another fun family session in the books! I adore all the families that I get to photograph in the Chicagoland area, but new families are always so fun.  They get to see my craziness in action for the first time, which is always a treat.  I act like such a fool to get the kids to smile and relax and talk about some of the most ridiculous things.

Tonight’s topic? Booger cookies. I honestly question how these things pop into my head. But the kids found it funny so I ran with it.

Seeing how fun they were I just knew the photos are going to turn out great.  It was buggy (duh, this was a summer session so they’re always annoying), but man that light was amazing!!!  It was this nice, hazy, kinda cloudy sunset that made for a dramatic sunset.  Plus, what a beautiful family!  They totally rolled with my ideas and I am loving how everything came out.

As the mom said I love them ALL! And I never have liked ALL photos anyone has ever taken. It makes my hear so happy to hear that – I put so much love into my work so she totally solidified what I do.  Thank you!

I would love to chat with you and see if we’re a good match!  If you like relaxed, non-posey photographs then let’s talk!  I photograph families throughout the Lake and Cook counties surrounding Chicago. My outdoor sessions start near sunset for that amazing light that I love.  Contact me today for more info.
