fall 2017 family recap
January 17, 2018
Autumn to December is just so busy, my favorite season weather wise and one big flurry work wise. On top of the regular commercial work I do the rest of the year I photograph four schools in October and add in a bunch of family sessions on weekends. People want that image for their holiday cards and print to send to grandma. Here is a little bit of the family work
I've been photographing these two families for a few years now, usually outdoors but we moved inside this year because of rain.
This one was a 'get everyone together' for a big group shot another cold day so we were moving fast
I photographed them earlier in the summer on the day the baby was born, then we met down town for this fun and games
There were a lot of cold days, another was so windy by the lake we had to move in a little bit but this dog made it all worth it
A quick stop outdoors followed by a hot chocolate
and the last big one of the season, everybody squeeze in for the family festivus

Headshot, small business marketing images and education marketing and events have be the focus of much of my 2017 work so far. Northwestern has kept me busy both with work for the upcoming research magazine and editorials for SPS website, while here in Oak Park I've been doing some lifestyle headshots and small business creative work in the snow.

Five for Northwestern Research Magazine due to come out in May, a student poster presentation event for the school of policy and education at Northwestern, a fashion shoot for Dominican University design department and two of the three nonprofit Gala/Parties I have photographed in the past month. Hephizbah Children's Association 'Heart of Gold Ball', Oak Park Art league 'Heads or Tails', & Housing Forward 'Have a Heart' all have had their annual fundraisers in the past month.

Sept through Dec is a whirlwind of photo shoots so very little updates/blog posts are written so I am slowly catching up and working back. Here is some of what I worked on this fall. Starting with the cover image of the winter edition of Northwestern Research magazine which I shot a couple of the pieces. Got a little playful with lighting for this one.
Photographed store windows that some visual merchandising students decorated for the holiday season. Worked on images for a fashion styling book that will be out soon.
Lots of headshots, some straight headshots, some leaving space for logo and text.
Staff shots both exterior and studio look
And of course lots of event photography, college lectures, non-profit Galas, Bat Mitzvahs, Quinceanera
School Photography

School Photography is not something I show a lot because there seems to always be a parent in a class who doesn't want their child showing up anywhere online so I want to respect that and not publish class photos. But for a bunch of years now I have done school portraits for a few schools in the area. The Children's School in Berwyn was the first to ask me to do this back in 2012 and I have worked with them every year since, adding Alcuin Montessori and Oak Park Friends over the years. It is a pretty entertaining experience and a lot of work. There are kids who love it and totally ham it up and there are kids who just stand there with a serious look on their face no matter what, and then there are the itty bitty ones who sometimes are scared to tears of anything unusual (and there is a lot of snot). The families get to review a gallery of images to choose from which I like more than pre-purchasing a package of that fake smile one you sometimes get with school photos, but sometimes that fake smile one is who the kid is at that moment in time and I appreciate those too. Here is just a taste of this past falls school photos.

And there they go, off back to school for another year. How did the summer go by so fast. I did work but mostly I hung out with these two, we went on a few trips, we went to the pool A LOT, we ate a lot of ice-cream and somehow three months went by in the blink of an eye. One of our trips was to this fab cabin where we got to relax in nature, where we kayaked, cannoned, read, sat, chatted and made some good food.
We realize vacations with friends are really awesome for the kids so we drove to Colorado and camped with a few other families, again nature is the way to go. I pretty much took these days off photography, a few snaps on a stop along the way, and a few snaps at the campsite. I just experienced the wonderful scenery and left the landscapes photography to the guide books.
There was sports, plays, three birthdays, family visits, playdates and most importantly there was downtime to draw, read and create town and building and worlds.

Some images from my last volunteer day for Flashes Of Hope. I don't think I need to write a lot in this post, I'm posting because this Sunday is Mother's Day and my heart goes out to all the mothers trying to do their best for their children, and all that encompasses. But especially those fighting cancer and other illnesses.
