M Family | Long Grove Family photographer

I think each year this guy likes to pretend he is shy. He starts out hiding behind either his Mom’s or Dad’s leg and in no time he is hamming it up! So many giggles and smile come from this little dude. And the poses are all him, haha. With currently having to wear a mask I don’t really know how kids are going to react to me, but this kid was awesome with it!

Downtown Long Grove offers a lot of options for scenery for family photography especially when the covered bridge hasn’t been hit by a truck and is under construction (whomp whomp). Regardless of the broken bridge we lucked out with a beautiful sunset and no bugs! After his initial shyness was over, he was all about being tossed around, tickled, and snuggled by his parents. Let’s be honest – what little kids doesn’t love all of that?

That face, gah! I can totally hear him laughing in so many of these, too.

For over 10 years I’ve been working with families throughout the Northwest Chicago suburbs such as Long Grove, Mundelein, Barrington, Arlington Heights, Highland Park, Palatine and more. I do have a studio in downtown Lake Zurich however when the weather is nice, outdoors is definitely where it’s at! I have some of my favorite spots I love to use, as well. If you’re needing help styling you family and selecting outfits, rest assured I would love to help you with that! Sessions tend to book early so please don’t wait until days or a handful of weeks before you’re wanting to schedule. Earlier is always better!

Of course, go ahead and contact me for all the details and to book your spot.
