The Guzman extended family session in Oak Brook IL

The Guzman extended family session in Oak Brook IL

I photographed the beautiful Guzman extended family in Oak Brook this past fall, it wasn't a terribly cold day but it was cold enough. Thankfully teens seem to not feel any of it ever. It's quite funny. I will be brutally honest that showing up to a session full of Gen Z kids was intimidating [...]

BABY ATLAS, SIMPLISTIC AT HOME NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHY IN CHICAGO IL

Little baby A was just so darn sweet during his newborn session at home. He still had all of the curliness of just being born with the loveliest of full hair heads. I gotta say that being able to capture a baby yawn is right up there for me along with a smile. He was [...]

Home birth is here to stay and I’m here to photograph it, Chicago IL

Home birth is here to stay and I’m here to photograph it, Chicago IL

Perhaps it's a little bit of my accent (TH ending words are hard) and English is my second language. Then we have this little awkward exchange where I explain I mean BIRTH, humans giving [...]

A fun at home family session in Evanston IL with the Chelebek family

An early morning session at home. Without having to wrangle the kids out, without having to put on shoes on everyone, and wondering wether you forgot something. Relaxed, well sort off.

Lou’s 6mos photography session, Evanston IL family photographer

I photographed this sweet little baby's newborn session earlier this year and I recently got the chance to go see the tremendous growth that can happen in just 6 months. Time is so obvious to new parents, it moves slow at first with the struggles on new parenting.. but suddenly you're half a year into [...]
