It’s almost summer! Time to plan your wardrobe for summer family portraits.
For more ideas be sure to check out past editions of “What to Wear” in the categories menu above.
This week’s word is “weather.” Fresh strawberries always make me think that summer is on its way!

This makes me think of summer just looking at it!
I am predominantly a studio shooter, but Leah Cook’s ClickinMoms breakout session about location newborn photography inspired me to give a location newborn shoot a whirl. This little guy was 18 days old when I went downtown to his family’s Printers Row condo for an on-location newborn session. I photographed his big brother when he was a newborn, so it was really fun to do the same for newest member of the family. Big brother was a great assistant to me during the shoot, bringing me various props and making suggestions. Too cute.
To the M family – thanks for giving me the opportunity to try something new!

You did such a good job! I love that you left the studio lights behind and captured some beautiful portraits of this family. Love all the detail shots- nice work!

These are wonderful, Jes! You rocked this! What a sweet baby!
Last year I had the pleasure of meeting John Hoppe from John’s Place in Glenview. John’s advertising agency contacted me because they needed some marketing photos of John. John’s Place is a personalized auto care shop specializing in European models. John wanted marketing images that represented the way he feels about his business and about his customers – that he personally stands behind all work done at his shop and that he is “at your service.” I loved this idea because this is also the way I feel about my business and my customers. I also really loved John’s idea of wearing his tuxedo and holding customers’ keys on a silver platter. (You can see that the advertising agency added the silver platter later in production…LOL!) Today I had the opportunity to check out the lifesize “cardboard John” that is up in the shop. It was really fun to see the final use of some of the images we captured that day.
John’s Place is very comfortable and family-friendly. John was kind enough to allow me to put up a canvas display of childrens’ photographs in his waiting room. He also has some of his amazing travel photography on display. If you are near Glenview and you need your car serviced, stop by John’s Place!

This is great Jes! What a great way to use your images.
Softball/baseball season has started, and they are pretty darn happy about that!
