Custom Sisters Art {Julie Chen Photography + Life Verse Design}

2014-01-10_0009

This photoshoot was a BLAST! It was one of my “freezing cold” sessions, but the love between them warms the heart. The funniest thing about this session was that before I even got my camera out, the mom turns to me and says, “It’s O.K. if you do not get any good shots. We are NOT photogenic at ALL!”

Now, that’s the way to take the pressure off! Ha! And, NOT photogenic?!!! I beg to differ! I love these memories.2014-01-10_00102014-01-10_0011

From these sweet photos, I could not help but create the “sisters” art. I love the way big sis is the center & they snuggle together, leaning on one another. May they always be the best of friends!

Snow, Snow, & MORE Snow! {Downers Grove, Hinsdale Family Photography}

2013-12-31_00072013-12-31_0008

I woke up to MORE snow this morning {we are up to almost 8 inches & we shoveled 4 times yesterday & there is no stop in sight}, so I thought it would be a great day to share these beauties with you. I took these photos the week before Christmas & am realizing I LOVE shooting in the snow! This little guy is one of my favorite subjects to photograph as he has such a fun personality & beautiful eyes. If we have another 34 degree day with soft snow & you want some really memorable photos, just let me know!

Grace & Peace,

Julie

Let it Snow! {Downers Grove, Hinsdale Family Photographer}

2013-12-11_0001

This past Sunday I had the joy of doing my first photo session in the SNOW!2013-12-11_0002

The family was great & I love how the mom styled their clothing: simple solids & such a variety of color.

I even got them to JUMP!2013-12-11_0003

The kids were total troopers. No complaints, just chills & some red ears (poor things!)

I wish we could have hung out more so I could get to know each & every one a bit more,

but we needed to get the job done. They were so fun though!2013-12-11_0004

12 year old triplets!!!! a 10 yr old & almost 7 yr old.

I think these parents are my super-heroes!2013-12-11_0005

And, little did I know when I designed this card over a month ago, I would get to use it with such PERFECT photos!

Thanks to the “McB” family for braving the weather & having such fun with me!2013-12-11_0006

FREE Shipping remains in the shop!

Get meaningful Christmas gifts this year!

Grace & Peace,

Julie

Meet My Nephews {Julie Chen Photography}

2013-12-04_0001

At Thanksgiving last week, I was able to photograph several family members, including my brother & his family.

I LOVE how they turned out.

There was magical light & a sprinkling of snow & 3 very handsome young men making me smile.2013-12-04_0002

I cannot get over how every time I go home, my oldest nephew has grown so much!

He is taller than me now & I think taller than Sam {though he claims they are equal!}2013-12-04_0003

These young men are not only handsome, but they are also kind, fun, smart, athletic, and a joy to be around.

I am so thankful to be their auntie!2013-12-04_0005

Remember, FREE shipping in the SHOP!

Please come to our open house this coming Saturday! Find all the details HERE.

Grace & Peace,

Julie
