In the Heat of Summer…Suburban Chicago Children’s Photographer

First, let’s go ahead and soundtrack this entry.   Ahhhh, English Beat today.  This song reminds me 100% of Gross Pointe Blank (and geez, it’s been 11 years since that movie?  oh gosh…where is time going…), I could’ve imbeded the You Tube clip of John Cusack’s character having that bloody fight in his highschool by his old locker but we’re family friendly here.  Instead you get a bit of 1980’sish video glamour:

Now that we have established a theme song for today’s entry let’s get onto the business of sneak peeks…

Jessica and her son K came out from Mokena for a Marmalade Location session a couple of weeks back and we ended up with a reschedule due to torrential downpours.  Buckets of water falling from the sky didn’t stop K though, nope, he had a grande time living it up in the world of wet….

Luckily the remainder of our session from earlier this week gave us much nicer weather to shoot in.  So what if it was a bit muggy, the forest was amazing with color.  We explored a bit, played with sticks and some of us even pretended to be a cat fish…

…my fave images of all time typically include a mom and child.  Perhaps because I know (personal experience) that sometimes we, as moms, are often the last to be photographed…especially with our kids.  This is why I think the occasional family session is a GREAT thing, include mom in some pictures.  It’s only fair.

Thanks for stopping in & seeing what I’m up to.

Namaste.
