First time Family Portraits.... Chicago Family Photographer

I met today's lovely family through a referral from a family I also LOVED working with.  Today's family has a 19 month old daughter and a 2 week old son..... not only do they have their hands full, they were relaxed and adorable.

I remember the days when my oldest was 2 weeks old, we were sleep deprived, ragged and it was complete and utter chaos.  Having more than one kid, especially when both are under 2 is a challenge and Mom and Dad handled it like pros. 

I won over big sis with a dance party and held her while I photographer her parents and her little brother.  It took bribing of raisins and a lot of patience, and with Mom's help we were able to get a photo of the two of them at the end.

I love being around a family with a girl who then have a boy.... it's getting me excited for our little guy to arrive this Winter.

I wanted to share some of my favorite photos in today's sneak peek and love that the family pics aren't perfect (that's not real life with 2 kids under 2).  My favorite is where the little guy is looking at me all peacefully and the other three were living life.

They did awesome on their first family photo shoot and I loved that I got to be a part of it.
