The Klunks | Family Photography Session | Glen Ellyn, Illinois

I received a call last week from a family that scheduled an upcoming photography session with Eric Schmidt Photography. The mom was wondering where I thought the best location to do their session was.

It reminded me of when I did the Klunk’s photo session, I could immediately see some of that magic happening. And although mom was concerned about the fact that they had just moved in and some of the remodeling she had planned hadn’t been finished yet, I reassured her that the imagery would just happen when we let the kids get comfortable around me and just be themselves…
