Colorful Family Photos: Snow Day!

Isn’t winter just the coziest time for family photos? I mean, who could resist the magic of snow, sunshine, and all the fun memories we used to make as kids—building snow families and angels and having epic snowball fights? Bringing those childhood joys to life in photographs is hands down the best part of what I do as a Chicago family photographer.

Imagine this: a home lifestyle session that spills into the yard, chasing the last rays of sunshine and soaking up all that enchanting winter magic. If you’ve checked out my work before, you know capturing those bursts of color and pure happiness is what I live for. By the end of it all, my cheeks are usually sore from all the smiling and laughter shared with these incredible families.

One of the things I love most about film photography is how it captures genuine, raw emotions, especially during these magical winter sessions. The natural grain and colors of film add an extra layer of warmth to the already cozy atmosphere. Winter photography sessions like these are my happy place, and I’m excited to capture more moments like these this winter!

For my fellow film photography enthusiasts, these images are filled with double exposures, light leaks, and a whole lot of colorful Ektar, all developed and scanned by the amazing FIND Lab. If you’re curious to dive into the world of film photography, interested in why I choose a film for both personal and client sessions or have any questions about how my shoots unfold, film mentoring, film workshops, or anything else, feel free to reach out! I’d love to connect and have a cozy chat about everything film-related!

So, if you’re in the Chicago area and looking for a family photographer who’s all about capturing those real, beautiful moments, let’s chat! I promise we’ll have a blast, and you’ll end up with some gorgeous family photos to treasure forever. Let’s make some winter magic together!
