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.

This gorgeous couple! ❤️

This couple had the most perfect night for their engagement session, we couldn’t believe the skies and the temp and just everything!  I hope they love their photos as much as they do.

Full sun shoot! 🌞

This sweet family had a lot of schedules to coordinate, and could only do a midday time for their family session.  I am so grateful to live near this cute little park with great trees!  I never want to turn somebody away for not being available at golden hour or early in the morning.  I know they love the results as much as I do!
