The S Family [Shorewood, IL Extended Family Photographer]

Happy Thursday everyone! Today is a family I photographed for the first time last month, and I had SO much fun getting to know all of them! Extended family sessions are a GREAT way to stretch your $$, honestly, because you can involve multiple families (splitting the cost!) and get individual photos as well as photos that include everyone! It's a great gift idea for grandparents too, *hint, hint*!

Anyways, back to this family. These guys were a dream to work with, so laid back, and the kiddos were super fun! We were lucky to have a beautiful sun filled evening, and the park did not disappoint with a gorgeous backdrop. I hope you enjoy these highlights from their session!

Monica + Keith [Shorewood, IL Maternity Photography]

Monica and Keith are expecting their first little one in November, and so we documented this part of their journey a few weeks ago. We had GORGEOUS weather, a beautiful location, and a stunning mama-to-be for this session! Here are some of my favorites!

Luca [Plainfield, IL Lifestyle Newborn Photography]

Sweet baby Luca!! We did his newborn session on a rainy day back in September, which made it a perfect day for snuggling. Big brother Saracen did a great job, as did little Luca. It was so fun to see how much Saracen had changed since his newborn session a couple of years ago! I just love this part of my job - seeing families grow and change throughout the years. Here are some of my favorites from their lifestyle newborn session!

The K Family [Shorewood, IL Family and Child Photographer]

This family is so fun, especially little Kinsley who has such a big personality! She seems like such a great big sister to Colette, who has grown so much since I last saw her at her newborn shoot last winter! We had a beautiful evening for their photos, despite some rainy weather earlier in the week. It was so great to see them all again this fall!

The S Family [Naperville, IL Family and Child Photography]

It's always so fun to get together with this family every year, and Kelli has to be the luckiest when it comes to weather - they always get the most beautiful fall day for photos! This year we revisited a location we shot at a few years ago, which was fun because you can really see how much the boys have changed!
