Why September is Perfect for Family Photography

September is my favorite time of the year for family photography! The wildflowers in the forest preserves cannot be beat, they are so beautiful. September weather is usually nice, and you get the unique advantage of dressing for a summer vibe, or wearing sweaters and jackets for ‘fall’ photos. Here is just one example of a family that took advatage of the lovely landscape for their photos!  Don’t wait for the cold, wind, and rain of October.  Get out and enjoy the last month of summer, and the perfect backdrop for images.

A surprise proposal in the flowers 🥰

What fun it was plotting and planning this client’s incredible proposal to his girlfriend!  The lengths that this man went to would make any woman’s heart melt.  Photographer, location that is important to them, and all of the most important people in her life, showing up one by one to surprise her and congratulate them!  I left this job with a huge smile on my face.  Please enjoy this sampling of their sweet photos, and best wishes to this gorgeous couple!

Such a cute driveway shoot!

This lovely family had a session scheduled for an extremely rainy day.  Rather than reschedule, we made it happen in a short break in the rain on their driveway and inside their home.  I love these!!
