Spring, summer, fall, winter. I have shot beautiful sessions in all of them, and I can tell you firsthand that the season is never what makes a portrait special. The people in front of my camera are.

If a family session has been on your list, this is your nudge. Sessions are booking now.

You keep saying you want to remember this stage forever.

The cape. The lovey. The "I dressed myself" outfit that is somehow both unhinged and perfect. The personality that is fully, completely, THEM right now.

This session is designed to look like THEM, not like a stock photo. That is the whole point.

Only seven spots available. Booking link in the comments.

Your photos shouldnโ€™t live on a hard drive. They should greet you in the hallway, make you smile in the living room, and remind your kids how loved they are.

I photograph these sisters every year and you too could have a wall gallery that grows with your family. Iโ€™ll help you choose sizes, frames, and a layout that fits your space.

๐Ÿ–ผ๏ธ Custom design help included with every session.

When Chicago gifts you golden light on the sand in October, you say yes. Did we just have the last hint of summer before sweater weather officially moves in.

Ready for updated portraits while the trees turn? Iโ€™ve got a few October spots left.
