Outdoor family photography Chicago IL

So this was an interesting day.  They wanted a fall session so naturally, we scheduled for the fall.  Makes sense, right?  But we had a random heatwave and it was over 90 degrees outside!!!  When outdoors, my family photography starts an hour before sunset and somehow it was hotter when we ended the session than when we started.  It simply was NOT fair.  Its supposed to get cooler as the sun sets, not warmer!

I’ve known this family since college, so they were able to roll with it and were such troopers.  But man, it was HOT.  We took several breaks to run back into our cars and blast the AC for a few minutes before heading back out into the heat.  Other than that, the location was great, the light was beautiful, and the outfits were on point.

And kisses.  Lots of kisses to go around with this family.

I would love to meet with you and photograph your family, as well.  My studio is in downtown Lake Zurich, IL, but I photograph families from the surrounding suburbs including Lake Zurich, Barrington, Schaumburg, Palatine, Arlington Heights, Buffalo Grove, Mt. Prospect, and Chicago.

It is best to book your session 6-8 weeks in advance or more if you’re wanting to schedule for the fall.  I will make the process as stress-free as possible and will take care of all the details for you such as finding a location to even styling your outfits (seriously, clickable links to outfits that work together and photograph perfectly).  I offer both full and mini sessions on a limited basis, minis starting at $350 and full sessions start at $600.
