For the Love Photography Blog: Caitlin and Josh: Chicago Family Photography session

I am a California girl at heart who is lucky enough to live in one of the most wonderful, un-California cities in the world, New York. Most days, you'll find me exploring my new home with my amazing husband and our dog, Friday. I love to travel, eat just about anything with peanut butter, meet new friends, shop, read, take pictures, and spoil other peoples' kids and pets rotten. This blog includes my rants and raves about my personal life as well as my adventures in the photography business.

Inspired by fashion, art, and pop culture, I love to capture images using natural light. Although I enjoy taking all kinds of pictures, my style veers towards lifestyle and editorial photography and my favorite subjects are people. I am a photographer purely for the love of it, and I think you'll see that reflected in my work.

Thank you for stopping by and please feel free to leave a comment!

Caitlin and Josh: Chicago Family Photography session

I had so much fun hanging out with Caitlin and Josh and their two adorable children a couple weekends ago at the Lincoln Park Zoo. We braved the first real week of fall weather we've had in Chicago, which I've found veers from very brisk to super sunny. By the way, people here CRACK UP when I tell them that this weather in early October (low 60s during the day, 40s at night) is like winter in Southern California.

It definitely was on the cooler side during the session but the sun kept popping out, making metering a challenge when I'm also trying to keep up with two very active kids. Parents, I don't know how you do it! Josh and Caitlin made it look easy and their fun, laid-back style is reflected in this casual and playful session.

And yes, they are all ridiculously good-looking!

Enjoy!
