The Raatjes Family – Fall Family Photo Session in Downtown Frankfort IL

October 18, 2018

Well, I believe this is year #3 of my taking photos of this awesome family. ♥️

The best part of it all?  Though the kids have grown since I last saw them, they are just as fun and wacky as they were when I first took their photos (Erin, their mom, calls it the ‘dickens’ 😂).  Being silly and the ability to laugh, have fun, and enjoy every moment of life is a skill that kids specialize in, I believe.  Too bad that we seem to lose that as we grow older.  I love silly people…I really do.  And I love being around them.

That said, taking photos of this family is always a joy.  We laugh a lot, and I snap photos in the midst of all the shenanigans – hoping to actually capture the silliness (and love) that makes the Raatjes family so special.  It’s quite fun.  Also, this family was one of the first I photographed early in my business, so it’s a special blessing to me that I get to see them every year!!

Beautiful Emma...Senior at Lincoln Way West High School in New Lenox and an all-around wonderful young lady (I love her whole sweet family). I'm excited to see what the Lord has in store for you, dear Emma!  I know He will guide each step you take as you make plans for after High School.
