The Gallas Family | Family Mini Session | Lake Forest Family Photographer

Barbie & Ken.. *ahem* I mean Kirstin & Andy are just the sweetest mommy and daddy to these munchkins. They’ve been with me since they moved to Illinois a few years back, and I’m so happy they love and have stuck with me!! I often can’t believe some of you people are real…how do I get to photograph such gorgeous humans who are so beautiful inside and out?! Corny, but true! Nora is always a ball of sunshine and smiles, and Patrick is too sweet for words. This was a MINI session, for anyone who has doubts about getting “good” shots in “just 20 minutes.” Giiiiirl, I work fast, especially when it’s 30 degrees.

Please note the kids are wearing hats and ear warmers, and they look cute as HECK!!! When it’s cold out, don’t risk freezing your kids’ ears off, because I promise you they won’t be smiling if they’re frozen.

If you’re wondering about their styling…they took advantage as they always do, of my FREE styling service that comes with every session with me!! Kirstin just added Nora’s jacket and the hats, but everything else is almost exactly what I sent her.

** If you have questions about my styling service, I wrote a whole 2 blogs about it! Here & here!
