I have to admit – I was just teensy bit nervous for this session. It’s been in the works for almost a year. I first stumbled upon Sara’s work while browsing Etsy – and I was hooked. Since then, she’s been my go-to source for cards, client gifts, labels, and stickers. Since then, her Chicago-based business has grown by leaps and bounds, and she now has a website full of creative, gorgeous things for your home. Did I mention that she was recently featured in Real Simple magazine? I’m telling ya, this girl is going places – fast.
Last night I had the huge privilege of photgraphing her & her family. She said she wanted fun, completely candid, colorful images of her family in a unique surrounding. I think we got it. :)



Thanks for making the drive from Chicago, T family! xox -S
