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

SANTA!!! I KNOW HIM!
.
You guys have seen my Baking Spirits Bright sessions, right? These incredibly fun sessions become even more fun on Sunday afternoon when Santa comes to the studio and bakes with your family.
.
Because Santa is new to my studio, I wanted to introduce Santa Steve. He’s raised three elves of his own down in Bourbonnais with Mrs Clause. When he’s not at the North Pole, he helps kids from ages 1-92 at his local park district. And lucky for us…I was able to steal him away from his Oakbrook Mall Santa job this season. What makes Santa Steve so unique is the way he interacts with your kid/s. His soft spoken voice immediately relaxes even the shyest little ones and he right away asks them questions (and brings up things only mom/dad and Santa would know…with the info given in your pre-session questionnaire). He tells them stories about the North Pole and creates so much magic for these kids. This is much more then a “what do you want for Christmas” visit…this is an experience.
.
To celebrate Santa Steve’s second season with Novella Photography, I am offering $50 off any Santa sessions booked between today and Saturday. Your session includes 10 edited photos of your choice as well as a $50 print credit so you can start displaying those memories for the kids to look back on.
.
Pictures shown here are from Santa Steve’s visit with Novella Photography LAST year. This year he’s got himself some new digs and the backdrop/theme will be baking cookies (see my “Bakjng Spirits Bright” session for photo examples. It will be that backdrop but adding in Santa).
.
$50 discount will be credited on your final session invoice.
.

READY OR NOT… HERE COMES CHRISTMAS! 🎄
.
And apparently, a little flour too! 😂
.
Tomorrow officially kicks off my 2026 Christmas sessions, and I could NOT be more excited!! ❤️
.
The sets are ready, the camera batteries are charged, and I`m preparing for all the giggles, snuggles, holiday magic, and probably a little bit of chaos (the good kind, of course!).
.
✨ Haven`t booked your Christmas photos yet? THIS IS YOUR SIGN! ✨
.
There are still a few spots left across some of my holiday themes, but once they`re gone, they`re GONE!
.
And here`s the best part… you won`t be waiting until Christmas Eve to get your photos back! 😉 My goal, as always, is to have everyone`s beautifully edited holiday images delivered by December 1st. Plenty of time for Christmas cards, gifts, and showing them off!

Wrapped in Christmas is the perfect mix of Christmas charm and playful holiday fun. Dress it up in your holiday best or let the kids steal the show surrounded by presents bigger than they are!
.
And while the presents under the tree might be forgotten in a few years…the memories of those little faces, tiny hands and sweet holiday snuggles are the gifts you’ll treasure forever.

Who says Christmas photos have to look the same year after year?
.
Introducing Christmas Reimagined…a little less traditional, a little unexpected and a whole lot of holiday fun.
.
I love a classic Christmas photo as much as the next person, but sometimes it’s fun to throw tradition out the window and try something completely different.
.
This set up is for families who love a little personality and photos that stand out from the crowd.
.
Because Christmas memories don’t have to be traditional to be MAGICAL.
.
Being held the morning of Oct 31st and afternoon of Nov 1st. To book and for more info…follow the link in my bio or DM me.

What if they could step inside a Christmas Story? This session is so much more than posing in front of a camera. In this Kids Only experience we will laugh…play…imagine. All while capturing it at this precious age. This is what Christmas looks like thru their eyes.
.
Don’t wait to get on the calendar for this one of a kind experience.
