Customize Your Session {Lake County IL, Photographer}

I love when a family brings along a little something special to add to their photo session…a personal touch. Your photos are meant to capture you and your family in this current moment…so why not include the little things that will bring back extra memories? I love how easy it is to simply add in a little toy or family pet to your session and suddenly your photos tell more about you!

Not sure what can make your session special? Think about brining a child’s favorite toy or book. What about a special blanket or a piece of family jewelry? Here are some of my favorite examples of past clients that incorporated something special into their photos.

What would you include into your photo session?

Toys / Books:

Family Items (Blankets / Jewelry):

Pets (We can’t forget our furry family members):

College Bound {Cary IL, Senior Photographer}

I have moments when I don’t think I’m in my 30’s. Like it’s all pretend and I’m going to wake up suddenly with my Mom telling me I’m going to be late for school and not to forget to drop off my sister and brother. Moments when I feel like I just graduated high school and next fall I’ll be starting my first year in college. Maybe because life is so fresh and exciting for you when you are ending your journey in high school and about to start life at college…maybe because it’s true what they say about how being a kid is the easy part of life. Whatever it is, there are moments when I secretly wish I was back in my teens. (Don’t worry Jeff, I wouldn’t give up one day without you…)

Spending an afternoon this past fall with Alyssa was such a treat. I enjoyed seeing how excited she was about going off to college and I truly understand how it feels to know you’ll leave behind your furry friend. I know Alyssa will do awesome with what life has in store for her and I hope she enjoys every little moment on her journey at college.

Do you know of a senior looking to get their senior photos taken or are you a senior looking to get your photos taken? Please contact me and I would love to create a customized session just for them / you!

Turning 4 {Racine Wi, Kid Photographer}

Do you remember being young and having the best birthday parties ever?

This little girl had quite possibly the cutest Pink Lemonade Birthday party I have ever seen! Her mom thought of everything from Pink Lemonade to drink to Pink Lemonade cupcakes and cookies. Everything matched and looked just beautiful. The best part of the party quite possibly had to be the Owl piñata…little kids make the best faces when candy is involved!

What was your favorite birthday party growing up?

Family of Four {Round Lake Beach IL, Family Photographer}

Kate Fredrick Photography, Round Lake Beach IL Photographer, Family park photography

A few weekends ago I got the chance to snap some photos for a very cute family. We visited a local park near Round Lake Beach and after a bit of silliness, smiles were plastered across all faces. A lot could be due to Daddy showing us his fashion poses and Mr Jeff being the best bubble maker in town; either way, the girls were having a great time. It’s amazing to see these little girls with a bit of differing personalities. Little Miss C is the shy timid one and Little Miss L is the curious one a little unsure of this crazy family she has. When I asked Little Miss C how old she was, she promptly told me she was 2. This was true, however, she had just celebrated her 3rd birthday party with her friends early in the day and would be turning 3 during the following week. The honesty of a “3” year old! I have a feeling Mom and Dad will have nothing to worry about with Little Miss C being a rule breaker. Let’s hope that Little Miss L doesn’t make up for Little Miss C’s timidness.

Winter Wonderland {Round Lake Beach IL, Portrait}

Midwest winters do have some perks to them. Snow days, comfy sweaters, hot chocolate and beautiful landscapes. After a recent snow storm I was able to take some beautiful pictures of my sister. Of course snow boots were required but so were bright winter coats and white snow covered trees. Just because it’s winter doesn’t mean you can’t get beautiful pictures.
