REAL LIFE Superhero | Naperville IL Family Photographer | Milestone Session

Before Ruben was even a day old, this little one was already a fighter. Born with a very rare congenital heart defect, this superhero underwent open heart surgery just a few days after he was born. The amazing people at https://www.luriechildrens.org in Chicago, gave this boy the absolute best chance of living a normal life. 4 years later and this boy is THRIVING. He is so incredibly smart and has the cutest personality on him!

Time to Celebrate with a Superhero Milestone Session

When Mom and Dad told me that Ruben’s theme for his 4th birthday party was going to be Superhero, I sprung into action. I had done similar set ups in the past, but now I got to photograph a real life superhero? I was beyond excited to capture his personality on camera during our session right there in the backyard of his Naperville home!

Superheroes don’t follow rules

Well…at least in my playbook. I had no expectations going into this milestone session other than to capture Ruben having fun. I wanted mom and dad to be reminded every day just how far their little one had come and how much joy he brings to all that surround him. He dressed up… and dressed down. Dressing down meant he got to show off his superhero battle wounds. Those wounds show just how resilient he is and how much of a warrior he is.

    It`s July...and half of my holiday season is already booked. 🤯🎄
    .
    I honestly don`t know what to say except...thank you. ❤️
    .
    We are only ONE WEEK into my Christmas in July event, and 30 of the 60 holiday sessions have already been claimed!
    .
    Every single booking is someone choosing me to preserve their family`s memories, and that is something I`ll never take for granted.
    .
    Six years ago, I started Novella Photography with a dream of creating meaningful images for families. Today, seeing so many of you planning ahead in the middle of summer because holiday photos have become part of your family`s tradition...that`s pretty incredible.
    .
    If you`ve been thinking about booking, here`s your friendly reminder:
    .
    Half of this year`s holiday collection is already spoken for.
    That means there are 30 sessions remaining across all eight holiday experiences.
    .
    Every year, my holiday calendar fills well before the season arrives, so if you`ve had your eye on a particular setup or date, now is the time.
    .
    From the bottom of my heart...
    Thank you for trusting me with your memories, year after year.
