This family photo session at Chicago’s scenic North Pond in Lincoln Park with the Hagen family was so much fun. The Hagen family was so wonderful and flexible when we had to reschedule our original photo session in early fall, and although by the time we rescheduled Chicago was much chillier I think that it […]
Although we never know what to expect with Chicago’s unpredictable weather, but March 19th means that it is officially spring and that means that it is the season for spring family photos! I know that so many of my clients stress over what they should wear for their family portraits and coordinating outfits for multiple family members can seem […]

This outdoor family session with the Ault family at North Pond in Lincoln Park was an absolute dream! From the fall leaves to mom Elisabeth’s amazing style and little Teddy’s playful smile, I could not have asked for more fun at an outdoor family photo session! The only downside to this outdoor session was that it was a very chilly […]
I am so in love with this fall family photography session with the sweet Olson family in Chicago’s Lincoln Park neighborhood.

With eight indoor show rooms housed under beautiful glass greenhouses and over 2,000 different plant […]


It was so nice to be able to photograph the wonderful Champion family this winter in Lincoln Park. I was lucky enough to meet sweet Charlotte last summer when she was just a few days old for a Fresh 48 hospital session at Prentice, and it was so exciting to see how much she has grown […]
As we welcome December and start ramping up for the busy holiday season I am so happy to share this sweet fall family photo session with the Gallardo family!

As we count down the days until Christmas and we welcome the New Year (how can it nearly be 2020!), I wanted to share a few more images from this adorable outdoor family session at Winnemac Park in Ravenswood with the Huynh-Raffol family. Mom Nhu had initially reached out to me to schedule photos over the summer and I […]
