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.

Spring maternity session 💕

I love this couple’s photos, and we had such a beautiful evening.  Once again, I am grateful to have a photogenic downtown with so much to offer!

Skating party fun!

I told my client I was OK with taking pictures on the ice, and it was a blast!  After a few wobbles, I was good to go.  So much fun!
