The Saenz Family – Downtown Frankfort Family Photos

Springtime in downtown Frankfort is lovely with its many blooming trees and flowers.  What a great backdrop for some fun family pics.  I loved meeting the Saenz family here and their beautiful, playful little cutie.  /*! elementor - v3.9.2 - 21-12-2022 */ .elementor-widget-image{text-align:center}.elementor-widget-image a{display:inline-block}.elementor-widget-image a img[src$=".svg"]{width:48px}.elementor-widget-image img{vertical-align:middle;display:inline-block}[...]

The Rae Family – Orland Park Family Photos

Beautiful family...pretty light all around them.  Love it!! I know this sweet family from my church, and we were just a couple minute's drive from church when we met for this session...just to keep things handy since we'd be seeing each other again later at Wednesday Night ministries!  The kids were happy and playful and that baby (and his lovely chunky cheeks) were totally kissable...a great combination for cute family photos!! Here are some highlights of their session below... If you’re interested in fa[...]

The Raatjes Family – Family Photos at Hickory Creek Junction in Mokena

I've loved taking photos of this cute family for the last several years.  I was so thankful that we had such a beautiful afternoon for their session.  With today being filled with pretty much constant freezing rain, I realize now just how perfect that day really was, and I'm lamenting the fact that maybe our days of warm, mild weather might be done for 2019 (sigh).  I hope not, though! Anyway, we had a fun time adventuring around Hickory Creek Junction in Mokena, and you can check out some highlights below.  J[...]

Tips for a Successful Session with Little Ones

I want to make sure you know that you shouldn't stress about how your kids will act during your session.  The main thing YOU need to do is let go of your expectations.  Go into your session knowing that it might be hard to get your kids to sit still - or to get them to look right into the camera, and that's ok.  It really is! I will do my best to achieve those "looking-at-the-camera shots", but, truly, I love getting shots of your kids playing, having fun and interacting with each other and with you.  So - l[...]
