Child and Family photography

Bear hugs. Nose boops. Giggles and laughs. At the Lake Zurich studio or outdoors, this is what a photo session with me is all about. You want formally sitting and staring at the camera? You won’t find that with me. Are your kids more into running around and playing? Works for me! Have someone more timid and shy? No problem. Worried you’re a hot mess? <raises hand> Don’t worry! My teaching background and 15 years of experience photographing full-time has given me the tools to translate that energy into a session that is perfectly you.

Whether its your whole clan or just your children, these moments are over so quickly. I want you to look back on your photos hanging on your wall that makes you think “yes, this is us”.

Some of my favorite spots for outdoor photos are in Palatine, Barrington, and Deer Park, but I photograph all through the Chicagoland area. All sessions include wardrobe guidance from the comfort of your home as well as a selection of digital files. I also have a collection of bespoke clothing for those that are 18 months and younger. I want you to both look and feel good during your time with me so whether you need styling help, location scouting, or a hair and makeup artist, I can point you in the right direction! But in the end expect a relaxed, fun night out playing with your kids as the sun sets. Expect something perfectly imperfect, which is totally you.

Sessions include everything above and range from at $475-$850. There is a $100 retainer to book your date with the remaining balance due at your session. Please contact me for all the details and package options.

Are you ready for a session of your own?
