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!

Hey Guys!
.
Happy Christmas in July Reveal Day #6! Each day this week, I will reveal one of 1 of the 8 themes being made available this year.
.
Today`s Theme? THE GINGERBREAD TRAIL MINI SESSION
.
Some Christmas magic can`t be found under the tree...
.
Sometimes it`s hiding at the end of a cookie trail.
.
This year, little imaginations are invited to follow a winding path of gingerbread cookies through the snow to a magical gingerbread cottage, where holiday wonder comes to life.
.
We`ll explore the cookie trail, knock on the tiny front door, search for holiday surprises, and let your child`s imagination lead the way. Throughout the session, I`ll capture the wide-eyed wonder, curious smiles, and joyful moments that make childhood Christmases so incredibly magical.
.
This experience is designed especially for children and celebrates everything we love about the season—wonder, imagination, and believing in a little holiday magic.
.
Because they`re only little once...

.

These sessions are prefect for:
.
❤️ Children who still believe in holiday magic

❤️ Ages 2–8 (although older siblings are absolutely welcome!)

❤️ Families wanting whimsical portraits of their little ones

❤️ Anyone who loves storybook Christmas memories

.

WHAT`S INCLUDED
