A few weeks ago, on a quick trip back home to the Chicago Suburbs for a beautiful summer wedding, I had a few mini-sessions scheduled. It rained that morning and cancelled most, but I got to squeeze in just one with my long time childhood best friend and her sweet boys, and I am so glad we did! You may remember Kelly and her beautiful son Will from his newborn session, but dad Bill didn’t get to join us until now, so it was very fun to get to see them all interact together in this setting. We were at a favorite childhood park of ours, photographing under the same willow trees that we literally sat under as girls, dreaming up our future lives. I think both Kelly and I would agree that things don’t exactly look as we once planned…but that the reality is so much better.
Favorite! I adore this beautiful boy. And his hair!! Kelly is a stunning mom, not to my surprise. Love love love this series.
Thanks so much for asking me to photograph you, L family! I LOVED seeing the 3 of you together, and can’t wait to see you again (hopefully sooner than later!)!

You're in the right place! As a past high school teacher, educating others is my life's work and a HUGE part of my business! I have been teaching moms and hobbyists how to use their camera from first purchasing it all the way to coaching them into businesses of their own, and I'd love to help you as well, wherever you are (and whatever camera you have!).
I'm so glad you are here! Teaching Photographers and other small business owners how to run more joyful, successful, and profitable businesses is one of my favorite parts of my business! I specialize in working with photographers to make their goals a reality (or figure out what their goals should be in the first place!).
You certainly captured the love of this wonderful family. Love … Love … Love. ????????
