If you look up the term Indian Summer, you'll read that it’s a period of unseasonably warm, dry weather that sometimes occurs in autumn in the Northern Hemisphere. It also, one of my all time favorite movies that was released in 1993 (if you haven't watch it, do yourself a favor and thank me later) Well, Chicago has been having incredible weather the past few weeks - and I for one am not complaining. The only thing about unseasonably warm weather in the fall is that the leaves change quickly and the autumn season is shorter. Well, the “R” family made sure to get their fall family photos in asap! We had a gorgeous day photographing in Northbrook at their grandparents backyard. Mom did such a great job getting everyone dressed and out the door looking so super sharp in not one but two different outfits!!! We hung out on the dock around the beautiful lake. Their smiles beamed brightly and the pine trees and beautiful nature reflected in the water which was the perfect backdrop. Thank you “R” Family for all the smiles - I know you will cherish these forever!!!

This past week we had such a change in weather. We went from t-shirts to sweaters in a blink of an eye!!! Well I know one family who were so excited to get their family photos captured while we were having a lovely Indian summer. Having spent years in the city, this adorable family of four made the epic voyage to Northbrook and couldn’t be any happier for their two boys to be close by their grandparents and cousins. We picked this spot which was right off the highway off of Sanders. I loved the wildflowers and prairie grass in this area. mom “s” did such a great job picking out a few colors and sprinkled them throughout everyone’s wardrobe. It was the perfect touch to this warm fall day! If you and your family would like to schedule a session - I still have a few openings left before I head to the west coast!!! 

Raise your hand if you are enjoying these cooler temps here in Chicago!!! Um…Yes.. I am! Now that the rain days have past and the cooler fall temps are setting in - I have been relishing every moment outside and love that I can photograph in such comfortable weather and not be so sticky and sweaty. Let alone, have my clients be super comfy wearing what they love with their hair down and not dripping after our sessions! This week we met such a cute family in Northbrook who wanted to get some photos in front of their home. Mom Lisa did such a great job matching each family member so they all look cool and casual in the front of their house. We shot this in the early evening when the kids where done with their zoom schooling and mom & dad were off of work. The session was 20 mins long and we got some really cute photos of everyone! If you want to schedule a session with me while I am in Chicago this September - feel free to contact me via our website.
