Triplets! | Chicago Children's Photographer

That’s right – triplets!  This client was referred to me by another client with five children, and when she assured me that the three-and-a-half year old triplets were really great, I had to take it with a grain of salt.  After all, wrangling a single three year old is plenty of work, much less three!  But in complete honesty, they were EASY!!  Usually it is very difficult to photograph siblings together, to get them natural and happy, but still together.  I guess being triplets, these three are simply used to always doing everything together, so it was super easy to photograph them.  They also were lots of fun and willing to play with me.  Granted, it helped to have a new location for them to play and explore in Riverside (Chicago suburb).

I love this series.  The triplets had so much fun running toward me and back again.  Finding the shade was what made the spot ideal for me.

Then some beautiful individual pictures of the three.  I’ve been experimenting with fine art images, such as this:

Would you have guessed that this kid had a black eye?  Talk about editing!  His sister also had a large, infected bug bite smack dab in the middle of her forehead for me to PhotoShop. You can’t see in this image, but he also has a missing tooth from his rough and tumble personality.

The only one of the three without anything for me to edit (maybe next time):

After getting some nice pictures, they changed into their play clothes and were…well, themselves. 🙂
