Outdoor fall family portrait in McHenry, IL at Peterson barn

A few months back I shot 3-month portraits of Aaliyah, and just a few weeks ago her parents contacted me for a family session. For this one, Brian, Sarah and Aaliyah met me in McHenry at the Peterson Farm (across from Peterson Park) for a morning shoot. The morning light was gorgeous even if we had to fight some disagreeable wind. I have to say, the morning light was a refreshing change from evening light. Both are wonderful for portraits, but it’s not often that morning shoots fit into someone’s schedule.

After the family shots we did a few images of Aaliyah by herself to mark her 6-month milestone. Love the mirror shots!
