Naperville Studio Session

One of my most favorite moments of my photography sessions is the session reveal. When I switched from online galleries to actually meeting with clients and looking through each image together I'll admit I was a bit terrified. Like all artists we fear how people will perceive our art, our editing decisions etc. But I learned to to face that fear because there is nothing more validating than watching someone view the people they love captured by your lens. Every moment is a learning experience and the reveal sessions are a way to learn more about my clients and what they love (and maybe not love so much), but it also makes future sessions even better because I understand them on a deeper level. Plus, they feel seen and heard, which makes for more meaningful client relationships.

I was in love with this session studio session with a client family that I just adore. We started inside with a more formal and elegant family session followed by the snow machine out back where we ended with lots of laughs.
