Geneva Photographer: Celebrating a new life together!

This photo shoot was incredible.  I met with Amanda to go over all of our ideas and just loved talking with her and hearing all of her ideas.  She really wanted to a photo shoot that celebrated not only her engagement to Carlos, but celebrated the union of their 2 families, which included Amanda's 2 beautiful daughters and Carlos's one beautiful daughter.  

So here are some of my favorites of this BEAUTIFUL family!  I feel very blessed that I got to spend the afternoon with all of you!

Geneva Photographer: Come One, Come All!

I have a wonderfully big family filled with lots kids, chaos, fun and love.  I am blessed that my family all lives so close to me and at times I take for granted how easy it is to see them!  My kids are best friends with their cousins, and it is amazing.  So when I get the opportunity to photograph an extended family I jump at the chance.  
This family celebrates the 4th of July every year together and travels from Colorado and Ohio to all be together in Illinois.  This year they decided to surprise Grandma with a photo shoot with her 5 hilarious grandkids.  These kids had me laughing the whole time, and you would have thought they were all siblings.  It was so sweet to see all of them playing and running and jumping and giggling with one another.  I loved it!!!  And they are so cute!!!!

So thank you so much Carlson Family for the opportunity and here are some of my favorites!!
