A Perfect Family Session at Lake Chaminwood with a Classic Twist
This family session was such a joy to capture! We met up with mom, dad, and their young son on a beautifully sunny Sunday at Lake Chaminwood in Minooka , IL. Originally, we had planned for Saturday, but with rain in the forecast, we decided to reschedule—and I’m so glad we did! Sunday greeted us with sunshine, mild weather in the 50s, and just a gentle breeze. It turned out to be the perfect day for this session.
The family arrived in matching colors that worked perfectly against the natural backdrop. Mom looked lovely in blue jeans and a plaid blue-and-red button-down, while dad opted for a cozy burgundy sweater paired with blue jeans. Their son matched effortlessly with his own blue jeans and blue sweater, creating a cohesive and warm look that was timeless yet casual.
One of the highlights of this session was the family’s 1950 Mercury car, which dad proudly brought along. This emerald-green classic with its pristine white interior was a scene-stealer, adding a vintage touch to the shoot. The car, which is clearly dad’s pride and joy, brought such a unique and personal element to the session. We used it as a backdrop for some of the shots, and it complemented the family’s color scheme beautifully.
It was wonderful hanging out with this family, capturing their laughter and connection, and witnessing the pride and joy they share. I loved the chance to document these moments with them and their treasured classic car!
