Fall portraits

Fall Traditions

The unseasonably warm weather delayed the fall colors a bit this year, but we still managed to find some idyllic color in Libertyville.

This family has chased the fall colors the past couple of years and this year we caught some in the beautiful twilight hour.

The kids love to be silly together and Dad fueled the energy with some high tosses! I shoot their sessions in a contemporary portrait style and we always leave some down time to catch the kids being kids.

The sibling love and childhood innocence were so fun to see through my lens, and I hope that they enjoy looking back on these moments for years to come.

Fall Family Portraits

Fall seems to be every Chicagoan’s favorite season and for me, it’s no exception. I gush over a tree line in full bloom and every child loves to play beneath the freshly fallen canopy of a tree.

It is always best to capture your family in the fall colors during the early morning or early evening light.

While we hunt for the best light and colors, expect to have spontaneous moments of playful fun in the leaves or tall grasses and remember to love up on one another.

Most people have been conditioned to sit, pose, and smile for a traditional portrait, but when the whole family forgets about the camera, magic happens! Let’s capture your family this fall and be ahead of schedule for your holiday gifts and cards.
