More Family Minis in Frankfort IL, The Edwards Family

On this particular day of minis, all proceeds were to be donated to The Portwood Family (you can read about their story here if you'd like).  This amazing family (The Edwards) did double duty and purchased two minis so they could donate twice as much to the Portwoods (one session for themselves and another for family that was in town visiting them)!  Absolutely amazing and so generous.  I'm so thankful for them and each of the other wonderful families that stepped in and purchased a mini on this day.[...]

If you can get grandparents, their kids, and[...]

Beautiful Morning Photo Session at a forest preserve in Mokena IL

News flash, morning photo sessions are awesome.  I met my friend Lisa and her wonderful kids for a session at a Forest Preserve in Mokena.  I've been to that area many times, but I'd never photographed in this particular spot because I'd never done a morning session before!  Well, this spot was perfection...glowy light, tall grasses and a few pretty flowers.  Place an adorable little egg chair in there and you have really cute spot for pictures. :-)  We had a great time and I honestly had a[...]
