The Egan Family – Holiday Photos in Festive Downtown Frankfort IL

Downtown Frankfort is quite the festive place during the holiday season!  While Christmas music filled the air, busy shoppers walked from store to store and a big bonfire warmed cold fingers in the middle of Breidert Green.  It was pretty nice!  That was the fun backdrop for the Egan Family's Christmas mini session this past weekend.  I love that the kids surprised their mom with this photo session!!  So sweet and thoughtful![...]

Myriam – Senior Pictures in Orland Park

Well, I must say, I think I really love photographing seniors! Up to this point, I haven't been asked to do a senior portrait session, so I'm excited to have had four opportunities this year!This past Saturday, I had a great time photographing the lovely Myriam...our families know each other from church, actually!

The Modders – Family Photos at Centennial Park in Tinley Park IL

Oh, October...one day you're freezing cold with gusty winds and flurries.  And on other days...you're beautiful, warm and golden!  I'm thankful that the photo session for the Modder family took place on the latter.  I couldn't have asked for a more lovely afternoon for taking pictures of this beautiful family!!  We laughed a lot and enjoyed walking around this spot in Tinley Park where the fall colors were about the most spectacular I've ever seen![...]

Madisen – Senior Photo Session in Lockport IL

Here is an old photo of me and my niece, Madisen.  Look how little and adorable she is. 😍  Madisen was my parents' first grandbaby...the first daughter of my brother Daniel and my sister-in-law Heather.  So...it was a pretty big deal when she was born.  There was quite a large group of people who came to the hospital to  welcome her into the world. I loved being an aunt...and I totally loved taking pictures of Madisen as a kid.  It was actually one particular photo I took of her looking out a window th[...]

Lillian – Senior Pictures in Downtown Frankfort IL

Well, here is my very first Senior Photo Session!! Lillian is a Senior at Bartlett High School...a softball player and a viola player who plans to study music education after high school.  Now, my kids are learning violin, cello, guitar and piano, so music is a big part of the Costello household.  I really loved that Lillian's thinking about teaching and sharing her love of music with kids someday. I have to admit I was a bit nervous for this session - simply because I hadn't done a senior session before.  My[...]

A Homecoming Beauty – New Lenox IL Portrait Photographer

Homecoming took place last week here in New Lenox.  It was all very exciting - and this young lady's mom had an excellent idea.  She scheduled a quick photo session for her daughter to capture how her 'Cinderella' looked once she was dressed and ready for her big night.  How fun!!! Her dress - beautiful.  Oh, and I loved those pretty shoes! :-)  Elise looked stunning and I hope she had a fun, memorable time![...]
