DeKalb, IL Family Photographer | W Family

I don't normally do these types of large family sessions, but when I do, it's for a good-lookin' group like this one!

The reason for this session was the beauty in the image below with her grandkiddos. Everyone was all together to celebrate her birthday, so they took advantage of the time to have some family pictures taken!

Speaking of the image below, I loooooooove everything about it. It's more perfect than a "perfect" image, because it shows what life is REALLY like with young kids!!! Everyone's faces tell such a great story in this image, but I especially love Michele's face, fully enjoying the crazy!

Joe & Alex + Foster

Michael & Monse

Tom & Mary + Noah, Collin, & Aiden

Katie & Justin + Hannah & Adelaide. I've known Katie since middle school! Her and Justin got married back in 2013 down in Florida, and I photographed their IL reception. It was so fun to meet their cute kids (and squish Adelaide's thighs!)!!

And a couple of the gorgeous birthday girl!

Hannah was having none of pictures. REAL LIFE, PEOPLE! Sometimes kids teethe and don't want their picture taken! Whatev's man, I'll still take the picture. ;)

Foster!

Thank you all for trusting me with your sweet memories!! :D
