Sachanda Family

Earlier this week I did some family portraits for the Sachanda family at their home in Hinsdale. They were all together for the holiday and decided to try to get some pictures of the whole family. It was so much fun following the two little cousins around as they picked flowers and enjoyed the warm weather. Thank you to the Sachandas for having me take their family photos!

McGuire Family

I met up with the McGuire family last week at Lake Ellyn to do some updated family photos as last time I did them they just had Henry. Their other son James just turned one and they figured they should get some photos with him, too! These kids were so full of goofy energy and I had a blast following them around for an hour. I have so many great photos of the McGuire family it was hard to just pick a few for a preview!

James and Judah

Last week I got to photograph my nephews, James and Judah, at their house. I was thrilled because I hadn’t actually met Judah yet because he was born in Colorado in the midst of a pandemic. He is so cute and full of baby goodness! The main goal of the session was to get some photos of the two kids together and it was a bonus if I could get a photo of Judah’s baby teeth coming in. Mission accomplished!! Here’s a few of my favorites from our little session and I can’t wait to deliver these photos!

Gilhooley Family

Congratulations to Ryan and Sara who welcomed their newborn baby Emme into the world a couple of weeks ago. I photographed their wedding in December of 2017 at the Bottom Lounge in Chicago and I was absolutely thrilled when they asked me to come to their home to document their growing family. Emme is so adorable and I loved how they decorated her nursery. Thank you to Ryan and Sara for having me take their family photos and thank you for the 45 Beatles record which I listened to (and had a solo dance party) as I was putting this preview together!

Archibald Family

I just wanted to give a big thank you to Molly Archibald who made a donation to Second City Canine Rescue at this years gala for some holiday portraits with us! We did a bunch of Christmas photos in their living room before we braved the cold to do some outdoor photos with their pup. If you are looking to adopt a dog this winter go to their website. If you want to support SCCR’s mission of saving the lives of dogs you can make a donation here.
