We lucked out with a gorgeous day for our family session. It was a tad windy, but at least we had buildings to help block it. This was a new family for me with two energetic, crazy boys. LOL What kept them focused? Well, at first it was a bit of mystery – telling them…

I’ve been hosting my Fall Color mini-sessions for five years now, and in that time, I have never had to reschedule due to the weather. I guess I’ve been overly lucky, and it was only a matter of time. This year, we were scheduled, had 23 families booked for our 15 minute minis, and what…

When I have a high school senior session, I always talk with the teen. Get to know them. I like hearing what they are into, what they plan on doing in the future. Sometimes they know; other times, they haven’t a clue. Both are fine. I get future doctors and scientists, teachers and artists. It…

This should be titled “The Session that Almost Wasn’t”. LOL This Naperville senior is a handsome, funny, and all around awesome guy. He also has Autism. When I talked with his mother about the session, we agreed on a wooded area and to hope he was in a good mood that day. He tends to…

I was prepared for this session to be tough. Bring two dogs (one just a puppy) and add a high energy boy, and we had the makings for a lot of chaos, but it was awesome. First off, their son was awesome. No, sorry, let me rewrite that – he was AWESOME. He was such…

I had two 2016 Naperville Central High School senior girls back to back. Not only did they go to the same school, but they were both readers. Well, I had already used my books on the couch idea with the first one and couldn’t very well duplicate that look back to back. So during our…

Wow, two blog posts in one day! I got to have a gorgeous session with this Naperville Central High School 2016 senior recently. When we had our consultation, I asked what interests she had, any passions, etc. Well, this girl is an introvert who loves to read, especially reading mysteries. She didn’t want bright sunny…

Believe it or not, I don’t actually photograph many people I know in real life (as in I know them before they become clients). This family I not only know, but our daughters play soccer together. When I was editing, my girl came over and said, “Hey, that’s Lia!” LOL So I’m doubly flattered that…

I haven’t seen this family for a few years, but I always remember them. Well, I should say that I remember the parents because I totally didn’t recognize the boys! They have gotten so much older and bigger that I’m sure they didn’t remember me. This is such a handsome family, and we had an…

I have had the pleasure of photographing this set of twins for the past three years. Every year, they are a cool couple, but yet still so fun. Now that they are eleven, they are really changing. They are officially ‘tweens’, and it showed. Gone are the days of liking to hug each other (which…
