Lifestyle Family Session: Woodridge, IL

5/5 - (1 vote)

At home lifestyle family session in Woodridge

This family was the absolute best to capture during their lifestyle family session that took place right in the comfort of their home. This was a particularly special session as they were celebrating a few different things. Just a couple months prior to our session, these guys were able to move back into their gorgeous home after it had been torn apart by a tornado 6 months earlier. Woodridge Strong. Moving back, happened just in the knick of time. Shortly after they did, they welcomed a new baby boy into their beautiful family.

A lifestyle home family session seemed like the right choice with all these big life changes. And was it ever! Big brother loved showing me his new room, his new big boy bed (Yay!) and his love for cars. And while being a big brother can be scary, this guy showed me that his love for his brother was far stronger.

I look forward to doing many more family sessions for them in the future!

What's New on the 'Gram

SMALL BUSINESS SATURDAY SALE
.
September is my most absolute FAVORITE month to have sessions in. The humidity is low, the temps are beautiful, rainfalls are minimal, the sunsets are GORGEOUS, the wildflowers are out and those pesky bug ratios are pretty low.
.
I am offering $100 off any FULL sessions booked in September. This includes graduating senior sessions, extended family sessions or a regular family sessions. BUT, the catch is that your session needs to take place in September.
.
The $100 discount almost brings the price for a full family session down to 2025 mini pricing! That means more pictures, more time with me, and a more personalized session at almost the same price as a mini session cost in 2025. Do not sit on this deal!!!
.
HOW THE SMALL BUSINESS SALE WORKS:
.
*You say "YES! Sign me up! I don`t want to miss my chance for a September session with Novella Photography"
* $100 retainer fee and contract is due upon booking
* You paying your retainer now is your placeholder. I will contact you at the beginning of 2026 and we will start planning your session! If you don`t know what type of session you want right away or a specific date, that`s OK! We have plenty of time to get you set up for success!
* Your $100 discount will be applied to your final balance right before session takes place.
* I am only offering this to the first 5 booked for small business Saturday
.
Sale ends at 11:59pm on Sunday Nov 30th or when the 5 slots are booked. Whichever comes first.

BLACK FRIDAY SALE
.
Selling out of Holiday sessions the first week in October was great for me...but not so great for some of my clients. Here is your chance to get a 2026 Fall or Holiday slot NOW to get $75 off and not have think about anything until session themes are released in July.
.
HOW THE BLACK FRIDAY SALE WORKS:
You say "YES! Sign me up! I don`t want to miss my chance for a fall or holiday session with Novella Photography in 2026"
$100 retainer fee and contract is due upon booking
You paying your retainer now is your placeholder. Once themes are finalized in July, my Black Friday clients will have first dibs at picking their themes and timeslots. I will contact you and get all of those finalized before opening up sales to the general public.
.
Your $75 discount will be applied to your final balance right before your 2026 Fall/Holiday session takes place.
.
NITTY GRITTY:
I am only taking 10 sessions at this discounted price
This is the largest discount you will see on 2025 Fall/Holiday minis. My Christmas in July sale will not have this large of a discount.
Fall/Holiday minis are designed for immediate family only. If looking to include grandma/grandpa, cousins, or more than 5 people, please contact me for special pricing. A mini session typically would not be sufficient due to the time.

I can’t believe we are here…but it’s my last full weekend of sessions this holiday season. In the last month, I have seen 55 families. Some who are just starting their journey with me, some clients who have been supporting me since the beginning and some who are quickly becoming regulars. It has been just so amazing to see your family’s connection and I’m so honored to be seeing it year after year. THANK YOU for trusting me with capturing life’s precious moments.
.
It’s not too late if you haven’t gotten your session in. This weekend I have 4 sessions left. 2 Red Truck/Tree Lot Combo sessions and 2 Wrapped in Red Sessions.
.
Red truck…I honestly can’t believe there are still 2 sessions up for grabs! As of right now, the weatherman tells me It’s going to be 50 degrees with sun!!! No frozen smiles this weekend! Perfect weekend for these to happen.
.
Wrapped in Red. Well…this session speaks for itself.

Still hunting for the perfect holiday pics?
.
Mother Nature totally rained on our parade last weekend, so our Red Truck & Tree Lot Sessions are now happening on Saturday, November 22nd—and guess what? A couple of clients had to switch themes due to scheduling, which means…
.
🎉 A surprise opening just popped up for YOU! 🎉
If you’ve been dreaming of snuggling up by a classic red truck, twinkle lights, and all the festive tree-lot vibes, this is your moment. These sessions are limited, super cute, and ridiculously fun—grab the spot before it drives off!
.
Sessions will take place at the Wildflower Farm in Monee. The drive is worth the Hallmark movie type experience.
.
Pups are also welcome but please let me know ahead of time if he/she will be joining.
