Black & White | Naperville Family Photographer, Hinsdale Family Photographer

This was a fun and different session.  I always enjoy family sessions because I truly believe getting family portraits is important, and I love trying to get the real relationship captured.  This time it was a mom and her two kids. One is graduating college soon, the other is a sophomore in college.  Sometimes parents seem to forget about family photography as their children get older, but it is always important.  it is a documentation of your lives and something I guarantee your kids and your grand kids and their grand kids will want to look back on and see.

The mom had a very clear idea of what she wanted – everything in black and white.  We started with a family picture.

Next, she showed me something from Pinterest – a staircase wall where there are square headshots of different expressions.   Something like the below.  I love that she knew exactly what she wanted, as we were able to really focus on accomplishing that.  I can’t wait to see how it turns out in her stair case!
