Are You a Little Bit Country? Or a Little Bit Rock-n-Roll?

Britt Anderson — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 18:29:00 +0000

We are lucky here in the Lake County, North Shore areas to have a great mixture of environments and locations to photograph at…..so the question you have to ask yourself is…

Are you a Little Bit Country? Or a Little Bit Rock-n-Roll?

Which do you prefer?
An edgy urban session, or a more relaxed country session?

Considering Lake County has one of the most expansive forest preserve systems in Illinois, there are so many natural resources in our own backyards! With rolling hills, tall trees, lush grasses, we have everything we need to create that dreamy, relaxed portrait.

What we also have available to us, are so many quaint small towns, with fantastic buildings and back alleys to give us an edgy urban session….not to mention we are located right between two great big cities, Chicago and Milwaukee!
I have photographed in downtown Antioch, Libertyville, and Lake Forest….and would love to come to your town too!

So leave me a comment below…which do you prefer?

Time to Shine! | Lake Forest Photographer

Britt Anderson — Wed, 28 Sep 2011 15:33:22 +0000

I had the pleasure of working with friend and fellow photographer Mike Caplan this past weekend with some gorgeous ladies who were ready to shine! We had a fantastic make up artist and hair dressers on hand to doll them all up and make them look their best. This was SOOOO much fun.

There is something about subjects older than 2….they actually stand still and smile when you tell them!

We started out at Mike’s home, then ventured into downtown Lake Forest. We were headed to the beach, but due to unforeseen circumstances we were “forced” to Market Square. You didn’t see me complaining as we had plenty of incredible spots to shoot.

So here is the first in my series of images from that day. This happens to be none other than Mike’s wife Laura!

As much as I would LOVE to photograph every family and capture every moment with them at every point in the year, I simply can’t. But what I provide are the portraits, those yearly or twice yearly events in your life.

But in between those sessions, you are surely getting out your camera and capturing the every day right? Well, here is a great list provided by Creating Keepsakes for the 10 Can’t Miss Photos to Take Each Month!

So while you are waiting on your yearly session, grab that camera and capture those fleeting moments! There are many locations all around the North Shore and Lake County that would be perfect for some of these, not to mention your own back yard!
