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.
Arlington Heights Family Photography
Stephanie contacted me a few months ago to take photos of her husband for some professional headshots, Upon photographing him I noticed in their home some gorgeous images of their children throughout the years on the walls. She had mentioned to me that she wanted to get some updated photos of the kids. Stephanie contacted me just a few days later so we could plan a session at their home in Arlington Heights before their move to the east coast at the end of July. They had the most amazing swing in a huge tree in their front yard that the kids loved that we captured, along with a great garden area. With all the rain we had,many of the flowers in her yard were in full bloom which was pretty much perfect for our session. Even though we had cloudy skies in the forecast we lucked out towards the end of our session while the sun peeked through the clouds. Enjoy some of the highlights from their session bellow.

St.James Farm in Warrenville Family Photo shoot
What could be better than warm fall days with your family at the beautiful St.James Farm in Warrenville? I met the S Family this past weekend for our session and got to capture them and their two boys. Can you believe their little man is not even two yet? Both boys were so smart and fun to photograph. What was even more wonderful is that Grandma was able to come to the shoot and get a few shots with her sweet grandsons. We had such a nice time together and I hope to see them next year! Enjoy!

Chicago Family Lifestyle Photo Session
I was excited to hear from the K family again this year, I had met them last year from the referral of a photographer friend of mine! It was miss J's one year mark and I was happy to capture her in her brand new home! They had just moved a little over a week ago and their new home was just gorgeous. Now I knew at the end of this shoot that I wanted to do something messy! So I suggested maybe I bring some watermelon with me for the very end of the shoot, and it was a hit I must say! Who needs cake when you have a huge watermelon slice! Enjoy this peek at their shoot from this past saturday.
