Sweet Home Chicago {Julie Chen Photography}

I cannot even tell you how many photo sessions I want to show you from this fall & yet I am still catching up on editing, Christmas card orders, Life Verse Design work, and you know… the most important thing … my mommy & wife work! But, I interrupt your exciting Friday evening to show you these BEAUTIES!Julie Chen Photography_0054

They live downtown, literally blocks from all the sights so they wanted to do a photo session in “their neighborhood”! Oh how fun! It was my first “official” downtown shoot & it was very challenging {the sun was sooooo strong, not a cloud in the sky & the crowds were tricky to maneuver & part of Millennium Park was closed off due to setting up a festival}, but they were troopers & I am really happy with the results.Julie Chen Photography_0055

I LOVE how their mama dressed them in black & white. So chic! Aren’t those eyes just gorgeous?!

October Beauty {Hinsdale Photography}

Early October I had the joy of meeting Miss A and to say she was a natural to photograph would be an understatement! She’s an all American girl who truly lights up the camera. Those leaves have all now fallen & I am so glad we got to enjoy such a gorgeous day together!

The Ivory Couch Photo Shoot {Downers Grove, Hinsdale, Western Springs Photography}

Julie Chen Photography_0001

Many of you know I used to gently carry my beloved red velvet couch out to fields & parks for some fun family photo shoots. Well, as described here, that beloved red couch has been retired & my friend GENEROUSLY GAVE ME a vintage ivory couch to replace it. {Total miracle! It is the exact shape of my red couch & I love it!}

As you can see, the ivory couch provides such elegance, beauty, & snuggle time fun!Julie Chen Photography_0003

One great thing about the ivory couch is that wardrobe color is no longer limited {ie: when shooting the red couch, you obviously could not wear any shade of red or it would not look good.} Anything looks great against the ivory {well, maybe not white, but creams would look sweet.}

 

As I’ve said before, I do these couch shoots in limited doses. I will let you know the next time I am planning one, but for now, simply enjoy this beautiful family!

 

Grace & Peace,

This beautiful mama may very well be in labor this very moment! A couple months ago we had a blast photographing her baby belly & other 3 boys {including her hubby!}.Julie Chen Photo_0002

What a fun family. And, soon enough Miss M there will be even more blue in your laundry basket! Can’t wait to meet him!

 

Grace & Peace,
