A fun family, a gorgeous porch & a cute pup is a perfect pick me up for a January day!

I love it when we get an unexpected warm, gorgeous November day & I can take pretty pictures of some of my favorite friends. Tracy Schneider Laesch here's a sneak peak of your cute family!

Today's senior session sneak peek brought to you by sweet home Chicago. I love that we live near such an amazing city and can hop on a train or take a short drive (especially these days) in a car & all of a sudden you are submerged in an ever changing landscape. We went from inspiring graffiti art murals, to "L" tracks to beautiful parks surrounded by skyscrapers - all within a few city blocks. Thanks, Danny, for exploring the city with me and for allowing me to capture this moment in time for you and your family! Jamie Gilmer & Gary Gilmer

This beautiful little lady is ONE year old! Thank you Hannah Graham & Bo Graham for the pleasure of spending a morning photographing her and those stunningly captivating eyes! She is pure joy.

These gorgeous women are graduating high school in just a few short months and I'm trying really hard to ignore that fact! 😆 I couldn't even bring myself to look at this senior session we had way back in September until now. But I finally did and as you can see It was way too hard for me to pick just a few as my favorites!

My daughter and her 2 best friends since birth (my “fake” daughters) are amazing humans inside and out. They are smart, thoughtful, caring, passionate, God loving women and they share so much joy wherever they go. All three are off to college in the fall (decisions on where exactly that will be to come soon!) and while I'm so excited for the next chapter in their lives I am really going to miss having these beauties around in my life every day. Blessings as you go out and change the world, my loves!

It was such an honor & a pleasure to spend the morning with this beautiful little lady. She absolutely is a Gift of Joy & I am completely smitten with her! Bo Graham Hannah Graham

What I love most about lifestyle photography is that when I have a session with a pre-schooler & a toddler, I don't have to worry about getting that perfect "pose". Its about photographing them in the moment and capturing their wonderful little personalities at any given moment!💕
Hannah Graham & Bo Graham - I loved hanging with you this morning! We couldn't have had a more perfect fall day for your family session. Here is a sneak peek and I'll have the rest ready for you tomorrow. You & your kids are so fun! 💕

Okay...one more....I love this spunky girl! 💕

This Cutie Patootie is obviously a natural in front of the camera! Krista Seidemann I LOVED taking pictures of your beautiful family!! (I edited out all our little mosquito friends!) 🤣🐝

I thought I'd post another peek from this sweet families session. They are going through something pretty tough right now and could use all the thoughts and prayers you could send their way. Vicki Streed Folkers

This beautiful Senior does it all...acts, sings, dances, plays all kinds of musical instruments. And yes, she's Got Hula! She's also got the greatest mom! Thanks, Susan Ketch Juskey, for asking me to take pictures of your stunning daughter!

This picture makes me feel warm and fuzzy!
