Lake Zurich IL child photographer

Before I dive in, let’s talk about booking your session.  Summer and fall booking is in full swing.  Families, newborns, everything!  That means if you want a session now – December, please contact me ASAP to book your spot.  October and November is already full, but the other months still have a few dates available.  Sessions are usually outdoors in the Lake County and Cook County, area.

For newborns, you should book as soon as you’re comfortable and for most, that’s second trimester.  Newborns are photographed within 2 weeks of being born, so in order to secure your spot it is important you book well before baby arrives (as opposed to after, when I may not have availability for you). Newborn sessions are held in my Lake Zurich, IL studio where I have everything I need for your baby’s photos at my fingertips.

Anywhoooo, back to this session.  I’ve photographed this family since kiddo #1 was a newborn.  And here we are with #2 as a 1 year old!  Birthday boy was so happy and hammed it up for me.

Meanwhile big bro wanted nothing to do with me.  That’s cool – nothing bribery won’t fix (or Mickey in a car). I mean, just check out this photo…reality check!

 

Afterwards we headed inside for the best part – the cake smash!  I just have to laugh.  This guy loved his cake, no doubt about it.  But he wanted NOTHING to do with getting it on his hands.  Mom and dad to the rescue!

I loved seeing this family and creating a super special order for them, afterwards.  They updated some frames they had ordered from me previously as well as added to their mini book collection (my favorite).  Creating custom items from their photos is one of my favorite things to do!  Maybe someday I’ll do a post of photos my families have sent into me of how they used their photos to decorate their homes.  Hmmmmm….

If you’re ready to book your session, please contact me now to get your date scheduled.  As I said at the beginning, October and November are both FULL, but the other months have, at most, 3 dates still available for booking.  And newborn sessions are nearly already 100% booked for 2016!  I’d love to get to know you and create something together.  Newborns are photographed in my private Lake Zurich, IL studio.  Outdoor sessions are photographed all throughout the area including Barrington, Libertyville, Schaumburg, and more.
