And Action! | Chicago Childrens Photographer

It is a very good thing that this client told me she specifically wanted lifestyle pictures of her five children, because I don’t think we could have done any other sort! LOL  This clan of kids was on the move from the moment they stepped out of the car.  If they look familiar, that is because this was a Part II after our first attempt got called on account of a mosquito barrage.  We tried a different location this time, up by their home in Forest Park.

Lifestyle portraits capture children in their element, as they really are.  No posing here!  From having stick sword fights to chasing ducks in the pond, they were all action!

The only one who would sit still for me was the baby!

But the kids were a hoot and a delight.  I got to heft them up into trees, find things to throw into the pond, and even pull the three year old from the pond!  That’s right!  See that water he is standing right in front of below?  Well, curiosity killed the cat…but only got the toddler’s pants sopping wet. LOL

We ended the session by playing on the playground and had a great time.  Who says pictures have to be boring??
