Highland Park Family Photographer {The "S" Family}

I’ve been photographing the “M” family for three years. Each year I have photographed them they had a new addition to the family!!! Well, back in April I got a text from Meg during the start of the pandemic that she just delivered a healthy baby girl named Hilde. I told her as soon as I can see them I’ll let her know - because I couldn’t wait to meet the new baby as well as her big brother Hart and big sister Hazel. Once Chicago got the okay to enter Phase 4 I texted Meg and let her know that I was going to be doing family session while wearing a mask and staying 6ft apart from clients - she said “Yes! We would love for you to document our family.” Last week, I arrived to their new house in Highland Park and it was so excited to see their cute faces. Its really amazing to see these kids grow up before my very eyes. Each year their personalities shine through and I get to see them in action. They say that children develop their personality by age three. Well, Hart who is the oldest is so caring and attentive to his little sisters. He is the protector of the bunch. Then there is Hazel, who is the middle and is entering the terrible twos! She can be shy at first but loves to play hide and seek and of course, getting tossed up in the air by her daddy. Next is Hilde who is just the sweetest baby ever - she loves being snuggled and kissed and it getting stronger each day doing her tummy time. I have to give credit to both mom and dad for having three kids under three during this pandemic and still working full time from home. I can’t imagine what the last few months were like but I know that the kids have gotten a whole lot closer and always had someone to play with - an instant quarantine best friend.
