Growing Up | Naperville Photographer

Downers Grove photographer

I was opening up this session to blog, and it hit me just how much kids change. I saw this family this year, and these boys have grown up SO MUCH since this session! But let’s get to reminiscing about this fall family session. I am a total dog person, so if you are a…

A Hidden Gem | Elmhurst Photographer

Chicago family photographer

Firefly Nights Photography studio is located in downtown Naperville, but I’d say I spend more time on location than in studio. I travel all over the western burbs – some of it is because I have favorite spots, sometimes it is to make it easier on my clients, and other times it is to find…

The Whole Family | Naperville Photographer

Downers Grove photographer

Some families live near each other and see each other all the time. Some families span across the country, across the world even. Some families get together all the time, while some get together only for special occasions. When you are having the whole family together, why not carve out an hour or so for…

In the City | Hinsdale Photographer

Downers Grove photographer

So my photography career started with this family right here 16 years ago! Granted, this session is three years old (yes, I suck at staying on top of blogging). But when you photograph a family every single year and don’t want to duplicate past images, its a game of “where have we not gone”?  For…

Get Together | Naperville Photographer

Naperville family photographer

I first met this family – well, part of this family – when I did their newborn pictures a year previously. The best part about meeting clients during newborn sessions is that just the beginning of our relationship (hopefully). So a year later, they reached out for an extended family session, including her sister’s family…

Downers Grove Family Photographer

Elmhurst photographer

Once upon a time, back before I became a Naperville photographer, I worked in corporate America. And during that time, I met an awesome lady who was gorgeous, funny, smart, and so kind. We became friends. She came to my wedding and celebrated the birth of my first child. Eventually, I left that job and…

Teen Twins | Wheaton Photographer

Getting to see these twins every late fall has always been a treat. I’ve seen them go from gawky tweens to assured teens. And yet, they have kept their silly sweetness. Being their photographer is fun for me, like being a crazy aunt. Thankfully, these two get along and never complain about having to cuddle…

Naperville Photographer | Transitions

Naperville family photographer

When children are young, you do pictures every year because the children are constantly changing. They look drastically different from year to year. As children get older, I notice many families spread out having professional photography sessions because life gets in the way and the kids aren’t changing as much. That’s when pictures become important…

Naperville Photographer

Naperville family photographer

When families contact me and want family pictures, one of their first questions is where we should do them. Being a Naperville family photographer, I know lots of locations, and after talking with clients, I help guide us to a setting that best suits them. For this lovely family, it was the quite beauty of…
