Algonquin Family Photographer
Are you looking for an amazing photo studio experience that can capture your children and your family in a timeless fashion? I am an Algonquin Family Photographer. I have been working with families now for 15 years and during this time I have perfected my studio sessions at my Algonquin family photography studio! No matter what you would like to capture, the studio can be the perfect setting! I have photographed maternity, newborns, first birthdays, all the milestones in between, first communions, graduates, seniors, and families! The options are really endless at my studio! The photo studio is located right in the heart of downtown Algonquin and is easily accessible from the surrounding suburbs such as Lake in the Hills, Barrington, Crystal Lake, Hoffman Estates, Huntley, and Sleepy Hollow. Clients have come to me from as far as 2 hours away so it is really worth the trip!
I love photographing first communion photos at my Algonquin studio. I not only have indoor and dramatic options, But I also have lighter background options and natural light available as well.
Maybe you want to head outside for some images, and at my studio, we can do that. This was taken behind my studio, which opens up to a nature area.
Want more outdoor images? If we walk just a few steps further there is a picturesque creek, trees, path and wildflowers!
Not so into mother nature and dealing with unpredictable weather? No worries, we can just stay inside where we can get a ton of variety in a very short amount of time!
I have furniture the gives the studio a more lifestyle look in both modern and boho styles and classic options as well for those who want a more timeless portrait of their family and little ones. I even have a big fluffy bed that is perfect for kids to play and jump on!
I have a very cool blue wall in the studio that I love to photograph families and children in front of. It also gives a more modern look especially when paired with what this two adorable girls are wearing.
I love the boho look and have a cool peacock wicker chair and a mixture of real and fake plants and pampas grass to give you that kind of a vibe.
I am always drawn to that classic look of timeless portraits, which is why I have this beautifully hand painted, slate grey canvas backdrop. These images will never go out of style and when we chat about outfits I can help guide you in clothing choices that will be best for photos!
I hope this gives you a good idea of what my Algonquin family photo studio looks like and inspires you when coming to see me, your Algonquin family photographer! Contact me now to book your session today and check out my family photography pricing page.
South Pond Chicago Maternity Photoshoot of Michaela + Miguel
I met Michaela though our mutual friend Courtney way back in 2011 since I was photographing Courtney's wedding. I was so excited when she reached out to me a few months back when she first found out she was pregnant about doing a photoshoot with her and her boyfriend Miguel. We decided on South Pond which is one of my favorite spots in the city. We had the perfect day for our photoshoot with blue skies and puffy white clouds. Michaela was a natural in front of the camera and Miguel was great too. They are going to be such wonderful parents. Enjoy!
Joseph + Christine Expecting
I had a call from Joe a few weeks ago very excited to inquire about a shoot for him and his wife and high-school sweet-heart who are expecting a baby girl in early 2015! When I got there Christine greeted me at the door and was just so excited about the shoot as Joe was! There is nothing more I love when both of my subjects are just as into taking photos as I am in taking them! We had such a blast together and got some beautiful images of her perfect baby bump! I can't wait to meet the baby when she comes in a few months! I am sure she will be just as photogenic as her parents!
