The B Family | Family Photography | Elburn, IL

Meet the "B" Family!!  I had so much fun with them.  The kids, Spencer & Celia had me cracking up the whole time!

I first met Christi at a Babywearing group, she is one of the babywearing educators for the local group. If you are local to North Central IL, check out their website by clicking HERE for more information.

Now back to pictures ;)

We actually took these photos in their backyard.  How great is the light??

Afterwards the kids pulled out some toys and I grabbed some candids to them playing.

I received an e-mail from Jen a few months ago asking about a family portrait session.  I was beyond excited to get to photograph this lovely family again.  See, Jen & Mike were my first ever wedding clients back in 2008!  It was wonderful to see them all again and meet their new little guy. They are such a fun group. The cold and the rain didn't stop us from having a great time. Here are some photos from their session.  Looking forward to another session with you guys!
