Kristen's Field Notes

I’m so excited to share these gorgeous Elmhurst, IL senior photos!!

We found a […]

I was so happy to take these clients’ family photos in Elmhurst, IL! We got these beautiful photos taken at peak bloom, courtesy of a heat wave causing all the flowers to open up at once! This little guy was a bit quiet at first, but we got him to loosen up and got some […]

Sharing today a very special senior photoshoot – my son’s kindergarten graduation photos! Not going to lie, he is a little nervous about the transition next fall to a different classroom and we’ve had lots of talks about how his same-age friends will still be with him, and how we’re sure he’ll have the opportunity […]

I’m delighted to share a fun spring personal project – my sweet “redbud pixie” daughter with her short haircut amongst some amazing peak-season blooms. I have a tradition of taking photos of my husband and daughter with the redbuds each spring, and this year they were especially magical and I wanted to share. 🙂 Look […]

It is always a treat and an honor to photograph another photographer’s family, especially when the family is this sweet!
