Get ready for cuteness – this late autumn North Ave Beach family session in Chicago is ADORABLE. This is truly the best time at North Ave Beach for photos!! All the volleyball teams have retired for the year, and the park is calm and quiet, and the trees along the shoreline are STUNNING with their autumn leaves. As a Chicago photographer, I can’t rave about this area enough!

Sarha and Kodiak had put off family photos for several years, so this was a family session that celebrated their engagement, wedding, and growing family all in one session! They chose coordinating autumnal looks, with camel coats for mom and the girls. And then we let the fun begin! This was such a heartfelt, playful shoot- with the whole family dancing, dashing, and laughing through the leaves.

Don’t let a moment of this North Ave Beach family session pass you by! Life moves so quickly, especially when you have little ones, so let this session inspire you to take the time and capture the moment you’re in! As Sarha said so eloquently: “[This session] found a way to give me the giant pause button I’ve always wanted, and froze time for me a bit!”
