Hey friends… We will be closed November 26-December 1. Friendly turnaround time reminders: Family session 2-3 weeks Headshots 1-2 weeks Studio 2-3 weeks If you have a session scheduled during the dates listed above, not to worry…we’re on it😉 Have a lovely day🫶🏻

I think it’s safe to say that baby E has everyone wrapped around his finger, especially his big sisters 🥰 I know his first trip around the sun was pretty eventful & I’m happy that I was able to swing by and make a few photos to commemorate the occasion! Happiest birthday, E!!

The sun came out for a brief moment today…did you see it? It was a mostly grey day and then there was a beautiful magenta sunset😍 Taking a quick break from editing preschool kiddos so that I can share another family session preview. I first met this gorgeous family in 2020 and was so happy to get them back in front of my camera! It’s been 4 years and, seemingly, the boys have added a couple of feet to their respective heights but ya know what never changes? The fart machine. My faithful noise maker always delivers! It’s the little things… #oakparkphotographer #oakparkillinois #oakparkil #chicagophotographer #oakparkfamilyphotographer #chicagofamilyphotographer #oakparkphotosessions #fallphotosession

Well, it took a little time but the autumnal colors really showed up this year. It was brief, beautifully muted, and stunning…the wind and rain are doing their best to wash it all away but we have a few trees that are hanging on. Raise your hand if you’re not quite ready for winter🙋🏻‍♀️ #oakparkphotographer #oakparkillinois #oakparkil #chicagophotographer #oakparkfamilyphotographer #chicagofamilyphotographer #oakparkphotosessions #fallphotosession #professionalportraits

It’s Friday, right? My only request today is that the sun come out. Please and thank you🫶🏻 #oakparkphotographer #oakparkillinois #oakparkil #chicagophotographer #oakparkfamilyphotographer #chicagofamilyphotographer #oakparkphotosessions #fallphotosession

It’s Thursday but all day long I thought it was Tuesday. Is that a win? I have no idea. #sleepdeprived Here’s something I do know…*stares into the distance*…nope, the thought has vanished from my brain. It was just there. It will reappear at some point🤞🏼 But seriously, I am super grateful to have the most patient and wonderful clients. 🫶🏻 …and it’s almost the end of another week! Let’s celebrate that! #oakparkphotographer #oakparkillinois #oakparkil #chicagophotographer #oakparkfamilyphotographer #chicagofamilyphotographer #fallphotosession #oakparkphotosessions #portraitphotography

This is the time of year when I start sending out updates about turnaround times… I know…I know…everyone is ready for their photos and they’re coming! I promise🫶🏻 I’ll roll out some previews while you wait😉 For all clients who had sessions October 19-24, your galleries will be delivered in the next few days. Thank you all for keeping me so busy year after year❤️❤️❤️ #oakparkphotographer #oakparkillinois #oakparkil #chicagophotographer #oakparkfamilyphotographer #chicagofamilyphotographer #fallphotosession #studioportraits #tinysessionstudioportraits #portraitphotographer

Sometimes the universe sends little pick-me-ups in the form of client google reviews! I’ve been buried in work, steadily digging myself out…I haven’t checked my email today because, well, I’ve been editing since 5am and I was avoiding distractions as much as possible. As I was getting ready for bed I saw a notification & I almost ignored it. I figured it could wait until tomorrow. I’m glad I checked because I needed this little boost of encouragement today! If you have a favorite small business (or several faves), send them a quick note, comment on their social media posts, leave them a review, or share with friends, etc… It means so much to small business owners! XOXO 🫶🏻

A sweet preview from a recent family session in Glen Ellyn. Today was hard…I kept myself busy by editing…it helped limit my doom scrolling a bit. Take care of yourselves, friends🫶🏻
