A blog of our current photography work.

Nicki and Eric

The other week I did some engagement portraits for Nicki and Eric in Chicago. We started at their home so we could get some photos with their cute pup and their blind cat. Their dog sat and smiled for the camera but, unsurprisingly, their cat did not care so much to have her photo taken! After getting their animals in some shots we went down the street to Humboldt Park to get some outdoor scenery. It was a bit on the warm side but the lagoon offered some shade from the sun and some pretty wild flowers. Here’s a few of my favorites from their session! -Jake

Ardolino Family

I’ve been photographing the Ardolino family in Frankfort, IL for a couple of years now and it’s so much fun to see their little girl grow up! She’s a little ball of energy and most of the time I was just capturing her running around and playing at the park. Now they’re expecting their second child and I can’t wait to do photos of the four of them together! -Jake

Boche Family

Last week I met up with the Boche family at their home for some family portraits. Their front stoop was the perfect place to start! Their kids were so much fun to photograph and their daughter had her own ideas of what she wanted for her pictures which was cracking me up. We finished up with some more candid and informal photos at Patriot’s Park in Downers Grove. Here’s a few of my favorites from their summer portrait session! Jake

The Casey Family

We’ve been blessed to be photographing so many wonderful families in the past couple of weeks and feel very grateful each and every one of these sessions! I met up with the Casey family in a little park in Lombard which had some pretty wildflowers and a cute little pond we used as the backdrop. I enjoyed taking their family portraits and following them around as they explored and had fun together! -Jake
