    A Beautiful Winter Oak Brook Photographer Session

    I am so grateful for the lovely evergreens that stand tall even in the middle of a Chicago winter. This beauty of a family reached out a little later than usual for their portraits, and I am so glad they did. Fortunately, the evergreens served as a perfect, lush backdrop for our Oak Brook photographer session together. Finding pockets of nature that stay green year-round is a dream for any local photographer.

    Capturing Personalities During Your Oak Brook Photographer Session

    The two brothers in this family were absolutely hilarious. Specifically, they are at that superbly cool age where they are truly becoming their own people. Their unique personalities shined through in every frame! In addition, we were blessed with some stunning golden hour sunlight that made the entire park glow. When you combine gorgeous people, awesome personalities, and perfect weather, there isn’t much more I could ask for.

    Motion and Art: Fun with the Cockroft Family

    Towards the end of the session, we decided to have some fun with motion. Indeed, I loved how willing the boys were to help me create some “cool art” for their home. I asked them to jump, run, and move back and forth to capture that authentic, candid energy.

    Ultimately, this Oak Brook photographer session reminded me why I love documenting local families. Documenting the connection between parents and their growing children is such a privilege. In conclusion, whether we are posing in front of pines or running through an open field, these memories are meant to be preserved. Therefore, if you are looking to book your own session, I would love to chat!
