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.

How cool was this! 🪉

My beautiful friend needed some new headshots, so she packed her harp into the car and we delighted passersby in downtown Palatine!  I hope she loves them as much as I do.

Love this family! ❤️

It has been such a blessing for one of my favorite families to move to Vernon Hills - so I can find all these fun new locations!  We were so lucky to have the most gorgeous fall color, and I cannot wait to deliver their big beautiful gallery!

Colorful senior session!

The last time I photographed this client was five years ago, and it was so much fun to see her grown into the amazing senior she is today!  I wish her the best year ❤️
