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.

    Some sessions just feel magical from the second they start. The greenhouse glow…the spring blooms. The golden light pouring thru the windows. Happy little clients and happy grown-up clients ❤️.
    .
    These sessions felt@less like a photo shoot and more like stepping into a memory.
    .
    Forever thankful for families who trust me to capture these seasons exactly as they are ❤️

    GUYS…there is still time (but not much)! 👀
    .
    Can I just say how incredibly impressed I’ve been with husbands this year? Typically it’s moms reaching out to book family photos…but the number of men I’ve heard from lately wanting to surprise their wives with a session for Mother’s Day? Absolutely amazing. 👏
    .
    And honestly? It makes the PERFECT gift.
    .
    Not just because moms are usually the ones behind the camera…but because these photographs become part of your family’s story. The kind of memories your kids will look back on years from now.
    .
    So if YOU want to seriously impress your wife this Mother’s Day…this is your sign. 😉
    .
    I can create a gift card OR (and this is the best part) you can just go ahead and book the session FOR her so it’s already planned and done. One less thing for mom to coordinate. 🙌
    .
    Moms ...if your family keeps asking what you want for Mother’s Day…feel free to send this post their way. 😂

    Not every photo session starts with confidence…
    But every single one deserves to end with it.
    .
    The truth?
    My clients don’t come to me because they feel “magazine-worthy”. They come to me as they are…a little unsure, a little nervous, a lot real.
    .
    And the magic happens.
    .
    Because it was never about being perfect.
    It was always about being seen.
    .
    These moments?
    They’re the ones that get published.
    Not because they’re staged…but because they are felt.
    .
    You don’t need to be a model.
    You just need to show up.
    .
    I’ll take care of the rest ❤️
