As a Downers Grove photographer, I’m so excited to share this beautiful spring photoshoot with you all! With this late Spring this year we had to do some rescheduling, but boy did it work out in our favor at the end! We got a beautiful, sunny, 70 degree day with gorgeous magnolia blossoms!!

Isn’t this family gorgeous? You may remember them from their beautiful snowfall photoshoot from last year! It feels so amazing to have returning clients and to see the changes as their family grows over the years!

What a gorgeous smile!! I asked her if she would count petals for me and she said “there are a LOT.” ?

Love these glowy blossom photos!! Despite the wind (and two high schools taking prom photos), we got some absolutely beautiful images.

Given the opportunity, I love getting a few shots of mom and dad by themselves!!

Look at the way the blue of their dresses pops with the white blossoms! Love this color combination.

These sweet sisters were so good-natured. It’s so evident that they love each other very much!

First we checked out the pink star magnolias, Magnolia stellata, and then the white! I took a poll on Instagram and it sounds like the slight majority of you all prefer pink magnolias to white.

Isn’t she cute?! The sun peeked out at the last minute and brought some beautiful glow to the photos. 🙂 It was such a treat to see this family again! Thank you for trusting me as your Downers Grove photographer with your spring photos!
