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 for Some Snow Sessions!

Finally…it has been what Annika has been WAITING for….snow.

Funny, as soon as the snow came (along with the obvious cold), she decided she wanted to go back to Savannah….apparently she thought we were on vacation and was wondering if we could move back now. Sorry kid!

But she quickly changed her tune when she bundled up and headed out to make snow angels, snow forts, snowballs to throw at mom….

However, this was a quick snow session while we went on a hike through the woods…all for the low, low price of the latest Smurf movie. (Her modeling demands are going up!)

In the end, it was worth it, don’t you agree?

Contact me today to schedule your own snow session!

Independence Grove Family Session

It was a little chilly on this October day for this session at Independence Grove in Libertyville. But I just call that an excuse to bring out the cute scarves and awesome coats!

Luckily, these kids were ready with a smile even in the cold.

The entire family was just gorgeous, so it would have been impossible NOT to get a great picture.
Enjoy!

This session was done a few weeks ago (bad blogger!), but I have been bogged down with holiday portrait deadlines! Now that those are winding down, I have time to go back to some of these great images from our model session in September.

We started out at the Caplan’s house, then ventured into downtown Lake Forest, IL for some more with an urban feel.

Stephanie was great, she even suggested the ones on the wall, this girl was not afraid to go climbing!!!

When I first read my inquiry from Anne, I thought she was coming to me from Savannah.
See, she is getting married in Charleston, SC and told me she had considered the Mansion on Forsyth Park in Savannah when she saw my work from there.

So I was all prepared to let her know that I wouldn’t be able to do her engagement portraits since I wasn’t scheduled to come back to Savannah any time soon. Anne and Will needed a quick session soon to get some images for their Save the Date cards.

Then I looked closer and saw they were from the Chicago area.
Small world huh?

Lucky for me I was able to get this session in, because these two couldn’t have been cuter. They met in college when Anne was a cheerleader and Will was a football player for the U of I Fighting Illini. I was worried when I told them we are Badger fans in the Anderson household, but luckily, we could put our Big Ten rivalry behind us.

Without further ado, here are a few peeks from our session at Grant Woods in Lake Villa.
