Siblings | Naperville – Oak Brook Children’s Photographer

I had a great time meeting this brother and sister in Oak Brook.  The family loves photography and has pictures of the children and parents all over the house.  I love it when clients love photography!  They wanted natural pictures of their children being themselves, as opposed to a more formal studio appearance.

Adam was hilarious and had his stuffed kittens in on the shoot – they were both in front and behind the camera as my helpers.  His older sister, Sophia, entertained me with her hip hop dance routine.  Have I mentioned how fun my job is lately?

They were your typical siblings – younger brother annoying his older sister who in turn annoys the younger brother.  The below picture cracks me up because it is not posed and says so much.

So to work it all out we did what always works – PILLOW FIGHT!

Cuddly Chaos | LaGrange Baby and Child Photographer

Well, the dynamic duo turned one!  But we always photograph the entire family when we get together, and this time, three year old, Sarsha was being a wonderful model for me.  So I had to take advantage, as last time she didn’t want any of it.  LOL  The twins were typical one year olds – mobile and could not be contained.  But being so cute certainly makes up for the challenge.

But what about the birthday twins, you ask?  Well, they were napping until this point, but then it was time for some cuddly chaos.

We wanted the babies to sit next to each other in these chairs, but anytime we brought the boy by the girl, she would cry. LOL.  But doesn’t she look like she is saying, “where’s my brother?  I’ve got a seat for him.”

But he was much happier on his own.

Holiday Cheer | Chicago – Elmhurst Children’s Photographer

This family found me through the DuPage Moms of Multiples group.  With one year old twins and a three year old big brother, they wanted some holiday pictures.  The session almost didn’t happen because both of the twins had been sick that week, but luckily the bug had passed in time for our photo shoot.  I am always amazed at how different twins’ personalities can be.  These two were night and day on this particular session.  The boy was nothing but giggles and smiles, whereas the girl was reserved and shy.  But by the end, I had her fully smiling – mostly by having mom and dad play peek-a-boo over my shoulder.

Fun Family | Chicago Child Photographer

You will probably recognize this group of triplets, as I had a blast photographing them not too long ago.  This time, mom and dad got in on the action.  The kids were non-stop fun the entire time, even though it was getting late and it was getting pretty darn cold.  To warm them up, I had them run sprints. LOL

And I couldn’t resist a bit of fun here:

Three’s a crowd | Chicago – Naperville Child Photographer

I’ve been photographing this family every few months since the older daughter was 6 months old.  Then when she was 15 months, the twins were born.  I know them well and love watching them grow up.  This session almost didn’t happen because poor Luke had been very sick for the previous weeks but took a turn for the better a few days before the session.  Mom and I were both very happy.  So come the day of the session, all is well.  We have beautiful weather, etc.  Well, out of the blue in the car, one of the twins vomits.  Then not much longer after that, the other one is sick.

They arrived defeated, with an attitude of, “oh well!  Whatever you can get, we’ll get.”  Thankfully, the kids seemed fine, though poor Luke was obviously not himself.  Still, you would never know the ordeal leading up to the session looking at this, would you?
