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.

Some favorite clients! 🙌

I had so much fun exploring a newer location with this family.  At the end, we had the special treat of seeing a bald eagle!  Thank you to their sweet kid who always wants to do a selfie with me before we say goodbye 🥰

Another fantastic session!

We have been getting so spoiled with this gorgeous weather, and it warmed my heart to see these little ones skipping through the forest preserve and having the best time!  I hope this family loves this preview of their gorgeous gallery.
