Family Session Crystal Lake, Illinois | Half Day In The Life of a Family of Six

One of the most powerful aspects of documentary family photography is its ability to transform fleeting moments into everlasting memories. From the messy chaos of a morning meal to the quiet intimacy of breastfeeding a baby, each photograph serves as a reminder that beauty can be found in the simplest of moments.

In Home Family Session

Earlier this spring I’ve head the privilege of photographing a wonderful family of 6. In our pre-session consultation we talked about capturing their average morning routine, painting the Easter eggs and just kids being kids. Last minute it turned out that the dad had to work that day. Unforeseen circumstance. Luckily he was able to show up for a small part of the session toward the end.

I hope you’ll enjoy looking at these photographs and realize how important it is to capture the ordinary. As time goes by, faster than you think things will change, kids will grow up, and these photos will become even more precious to that family. They will be able to go back to the photo album and reminisce this particular time in their life. This is priceless.
