Loved meeting up again with these guys! When kids are little you never know how they will change from one session to the next. Last time there little one was shy and took time to warm up and this year… he was on FIRE! He had fun from start to finish and had to get his older brother to play along with us.

I met up with Olivia at her home for her senior shoot. This amazing girls is heading off to Loyola Chicago to play D1 Soccer next year!!

What an amazing day and beautiful ceremony with the Goodwin family celebrating Sophie. It was so impressive to watch this young girl present all that she has learned to her family and friends. She read from a 100 year old Torah that was gifted and being restored by Beth Isreal. I loved watching everyone be invited up to see it and be told the story of where it came from.

When I met this sweet sweet family last year they were a family of 4 and then SURPRISE! they show up and are now a family of five! Oh my goodness this little cutie fits in perfectly, has two big sisters that can’t get enough of her and a mom and dad that just want to eat her up! She was sun much fun.

What a perfect night was the fabulous Popma family!! I have known Matt since HS and have photographed him and his daughter before for their band but we finally got to meet up for family photos! We also did their twins senior photos which I will share in separate posts b/c there are just too many. These five are such a great team and have so much fun together. Love getting to meet old friends families!

Another great session with this family! It is never a dull moment with these kids, they are always funny every year!!

This is one of those sessions where the little one was not as excited about having her picture taken BUT it doesn’t show in the photos!!

This group was all about having FUN! We tried to meet up last year but crazy schedules didn’t let that happen so I was so glad we could find a date this summer. The three kids needed no time to warm-up and were ready to go!

Oh I just loved this family!! These two sweet girls were shy for 10 seconds and then they were OFF! Mom, Dad and their big brother were such sports as the girls ran circles around us. I honestly love it when kids get a bit crazy. There are bigger smiles, more expression, more candid interactions and a more true look at their personalities. The best part of the shoot was when we were walking back to the car and the girls held my hand, wanted me to put them in their car seats and invited me to grab a milkshake with them!

I love that this mom celebrated her birthday with all of her boys and family photos!!
