Beachy Goodness: Film Family Sessions Glencoe

I can’t believe it took me so long to connect the dots between my love for the beach and photographing families. Whenever I travel for sessions, heading to the beach is always a highlight. It’s where my clients want to capture their families, and it’s no wonder—it’s pure magic. So, why did I limit this to clients in CA, FL, and coastal cities? I know many of you in Chicago, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Indiana share the same love for the beach as I do!

When I started suggesting beach sessions here in Chicago, I often heard, “We only do that on vacation.” I get it—vacation photos are a must! But then I started wondering, why not here? Our beaches are stunning, the water is crystal blue, and if it’s your happy place, why not make it a local tradition?

As a Chicago family photographer, I’m all about capturing those vibrant, colorful family photos that truly showcase your unique personalities. Whether you’re a fan of the timeless look of film photography or you prefer digital, I’ve got you covered. There’s something truly special about shooting on film—it brings out a richness and depth that’s hard to replicate.

Speaking of film, I recently shot a session using Ektar film on my Canon 1v, which was developed and scanned by The Find Lab. The results were stunning, and it reminded me why I love film photography so much. The colors were vivid, and the images had that beautiful, nostalgic feel that only film can provide.
