    The Experience of an Orland Park Maternity Photographer

    She is eagerly awaiting the arrival of her baby brother. During our session, I learned all about her favorite snacks and games. Although it has been a while since I was a toddler myself, it turns out I am still fluent in toddler speak! Jasmine is due any day now, and I am so excited to meet that sweet little boy very soon.

    Connecting with an Orland Park Maternity Photographer

    I originally met Jasmine online some time ago. Because she is a fellow photographer, I am incredibly honored to be the one who captures this significant new stage in her life. Their session was a tiny bit cold due to the unpredictability of March in Chicago. However, the atmosphere was full of ever-flowing love. Indeed, you can tell that this baby will be a beautiful extension of their family’s bond.

    The Dryfhout Family Session

    The absolute most kind of people also happen to be the most beautiful. Sometimes I travel a bit outside of my area to lovely places like for Homer Glen Family Photos. We did the math during their session and I have been photographing their beautiful family since before little miss E was even alive. How insanely special is that?

    I’ve seen two of their stunning homes and have watched the kids go through various changes. Now they’ve added an adorable pup! I always say that Matt won the wife lottery, but you can see from these images that they are all so beyond lucky to have each other. I cannot stress enough how welcoming and lovely they are. Getting to catch up and see the brand-new adventures they’ve made is so much fun.

    The Magic of Homer Glen Family Photos

    Miss Z + E make me jealous for my own little Zoe; I know she wishes she had a sister. I myself had two, but they came almost a decade after me. It is also crazy to see just how tall Mr. A got, close to being over six feet. He will absolutely surpass his dad soon!

    I have said it before and I’ll say it again: there is no such thing as a bad location. We shot these Homer Glen family photos in their front yard, around their house, and in the back. There is always some kind of magic everywhere.

    Planning Your Homer Glen Family Photos at Home

    Many families worry about finding a perfect park. However, this session proves that your own home can be the most meaningful backdrop. Specifically, for the Dryfhout family, we utilized the spaces where their memories are actually made.

    As a Chicago family photographer if you are planning Homer Glen family photos, consider an at-home lifestyle session. It allows everyone to feel completely comfortable. Furthermore, I always enjoy finding new pockets of light in this area. You can find more information about local nature spots through the Village of Homer Glen website.
