Kirkland, IL Family Photography | Mike, Dana, & Owen

I love me a good family session, and this one with fellow photographer Dana Chaplin and her family did not disappoint!! We had a blast exploring MacQueen Forest Preserve in Kirkland, and Owen and I were best buds by the time we were done!

And right there you can see a little hint of Dana's baby bump. Don't worry, there's more! Just keep scrolling!

In my house, we call dandelions "wishes." Owen loved the wishes. :D

Owen and I walked all the way down that path together hand-in-hand after the next two images. We're BFF's. <3

We headed across the street from the forest preserve because I just can't resist a field during golden hour.
