just being themselves

A family like this makes a photo session seem so effortless. I love how they interact with one another. I love how calm mom and dad are. I love how adorable the kiddos are. This was my first time getting to work with little man, but you might remember his parents and little sis…









Thank you all for yet another amazing session! I feel so fortunate to get to spend time with your family!

Michele - thanks so much for such a great day with the kids in Elgin. We are so thrilled at how perfectly you captured our total toddler James and little Miss Sunshine Avery!! James even asked “where’s Miss Michele and the green monkey” when he woke up. These are our first family photos and just looking at them makes that feeling of family settle in. Thanks so much for your patience, incredible creativity and that mama’s touch that is so clear in your photography. You just get what it’s all about - and we love you for it :)

Great interaction you captured (and inspired!) here Michele…they are sure to love these. I can’t tell you how much I love the red table shot, and the piggy back shot. Really great work. Congrats to all of you!

First time visitor to your blog! I love this family session.. awesome captures.. love how fun and carefree the photos are.. a total reflection of the family, it seems. And the behind the scenes look was awesome! I have cargo pants just like those — not the most attractive garment, but they’re oh so practical! :)
