Amy and John’s dreamy Grayslake wedding at Byron Colby Barn

Amy and John’s wedding was gorgeous! Thankfully the weather held out and those showers scattered for an absolutely beautiful dreamy wedding day. They have an adorable story and met in grad school to become librarians! We even used a book to do a couple ring shots or their engagement session. Check it out here! They also just purchased their first home together where John got ready. He already has a bookcase just for his transformers and I love all the little details used in the wedding for John and his love of transformers…cuff links…cake topper…shirts.

Those amazing flowers by Blooming City Flowers made their wedding at Byron Colby Barn that much more magical and to tie it altogether the amazing food from Honky Tonk BBQ was just perfect. Thanks to Linda at Affairs with Linda and Dan with I Wed Solutions for making sure everything went off without a hitch.

Fun fall extended family portrait session at Pleasant Valley Conservation Area

Kathy contacted me because she wanted to do an extended family session with her sons and their families! They are a hilarious group and so fun to photograph. I’m pretty sure you can tell from the session that it wasn’t all posed and lots of silliness happened. Always makes for more natural smiles when you can relax and have some fun!

It was a lot of fun to go to Kathy and Gene’s home for the reveal and ordering session and help them choose the perfect images for above their couch.

Family session at Volkening Heritage Farms in Schaumburg

This is one amazing family! I had the pleasure of photographing Delany’s newborn session and then a couple of months later we did a family session at Volkening Heritage Farms in Schaumburg. It’s such a perfect location for families with their animals, barns, and old rustic fences. I have to say I’m so impressed with these kids and their adoration for their new sister Delany.

It’s great location to shoot at during the day and also amazing in the evening! Check out this other session at Volkening Heritage Farms here!

Brianne Bradbury Photography is booking for Fall!

Last year was an absolutely amazing fall because it was still warm weather in November! Mike had purchased a Brianne Bradbury Photography gift certificate for Linda at Christmas time and used it in November. We had such a blast and I love the color combinations for a fall family portrait (especially Linda’s colorful scarf!).

Mike also sent me a couple places in their home they were looking for custom wall art and I was able to do a couple of mock ups for them before their reveal and ordering session of their actual walls!

Mount Prospect newborn session

Vale makes six! Vale is one lucky little girl to get to be a part of this wonderful loving family. I couldn’t resist to snap a couple of her brothers and sister while she was getting ready for her big professional photography debut.

It’s so much fun to do a newborn session with a large family. It’s so different than the first born 🙂
