A Lovely New Family | Schaumburg Family Photographer | Water Street Dreams

Bow howdy,
do I ever love my job.
This family was outstanding.
We hadn't previously met,
so it's always fun
to nonchalantly walk toward complete strangers,
stick out my hand,
and say,
"I'm Alysa,
it seems like you might be ready for a photoshoot
and I'm hoping you're Chrissy!"

We met at
The Heritage Farm
in Schaumburg
on what turned out to be an amazing evening together.
The weather? Gorgeous.
The family? Gorgeous.
The setting? Gorgeous.
All around gorgeousness
if there is such a word!


Seriously.
I meet the best families
through word-of-mouth referrals.
I can't thank my current clients enough
for passing along my information
to their friends and family.
If you're ever wondering if it's worth it to splurge
on a lifestyle photo session with 
ask your friends that have had a session
and I'd bet my bottom dollar
that they'd say it's worth every penny.
But don't take my word for it.
Ask them!

In years to come,
when we've a few photo sessions together,
I'll be able to share more words along with images of
their beautiful love for each other.
But for now,
I'll say,
there was a gentle,
accepting love that covered this family.
They laughed easy,
their kids were unbelievably well behaved,
and I could just tell they loved being together! 
 And let's just talk about the bow-ties for a minute.
Are you kidding me?
BIG TIME FAN!
Could not get enough of this little happy guy.
Not one cry out of him the entire time.
Grandma and Grandpa were amazing
and jumped in on a few photos
while helping with the kids.

If you're wondering what
50+ years of marriage looks like,
look no further.
This next image makes me SO SO happy.
This is true love.
And he still makes her laugh!

 There's something so beautiful about generational love,
and I absolutely love capturing it in action.
Chrissy, your mom is so beautiful.
Seriously.
Stunning.
Chrissy and Joe,
it was such a joy to meet you
and to spend an hour together.
May this be the first of many years
capturing your beautiful family's love!
