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!

Can you believe that holiday minis start in just over two weeks?!?! I have to tell you, I was at Cantigny yesterday for sessions and all the Christmas lights were starting to be put up. With the crisper weather and being in the middle of that atmosphere, I had ALL the fall/holiday feels.
.
Here is a SNEAK PEAK at our White Woodland Sessions. Love the warmth and simplicity of these sessions! Focus is on you and your family`s beautiful connection.

SANTA CALLED!
.
He told me today that his closet is actually being renovated in November to make room for all of his new Santa suits. So he has invited his good list to come visit him in his workshop instead this year. Who is ready to hear Santa`s adventures, build a toy with Santa and share some cookies and milk during your 20 minute long Santa Experience?
.
Santa Sessions are currently $50 off and will include an additional 2 edited photos (for a total of 10 of your choice) with this sale! But you must book before Friday at 11:59pm. $50 will come off final balance.
.
Don`t end up on the naughty list! Your kids will thank you for this one of a kind experience with the big guy!

Update as of 5:15pm on 10/7/25: ONE greenhouse session left

.

GREENHOUSE MINI UPDATE:
.
So I put these on sale last week and they sold out in an HOUR and had people on my waiting list within two.
.
So after moving some things around and Nicole moving some things around, I was able to secure 2 more hours worth of shooting time. YAY!!! With that being said, I went to my waitlist first so I have ONLY 4 SPOTS available between the two days. But this is it guys...I don`t have any additional flexibility in my schedule where I could add any more time. So...if the Greenhouse Mini interests you, don`t wait! Get yourself booked. Oh! Even though Nicole typically allows dogs on her property, since we will technically be "indoors", please leave your pups at home for these sessions. If you require for your pup/s to be in the pictures this year, your best option would be to sign up for a Red Truck/Tree Farm Combo session =).
.
P.S. These are Nicole`s pictures that she took during the late afternoon of the final set up. It is STUNNING and I can`t wait to capture your family here! Anyone looking for color ideas for clothing...I am thinking deep greens with tans, creams OR deep reds with creams. I think ANYTHING would look amazing here but that is what immediately comes to mind.

Dates: Nov 1 (afternoon sessions) & Nov 2 (morning sessions).
Taking place at a private residence in Homer Glen

Who’s obsessed with Taylor’s new album? My girls and I LOVE it and loved it even more after seeing the The Life of a Showgirl release party in the theater over the weekend.
.
Made me want to create a Throwback reel to Tween Dreams when we spent the weekend celebrating Taylor Swift and all her Eras. Lori from @yourfairygodmothercouture created the most beautiful dresses inspired by the Eras tour. Her dresses made these girls feel absolutely beautiful and gave them such confidence. Their beautiful personalities just shone in front of the camera.
