Sometimes the best things happen unexpectedly! When another photographer cancelled on the Rivera family (twice!), I was so happy to step in and capture some beautiful memories for them. A friend tagged me in a post on the Gurnee Moms Facebook group, and I eventually connected with Coryn to schedule their session at Independence Grove in Libertyville.

Talk about a dream location! Independence Grove is a photographer's paradise, with its stunning natural scenery, walking paths, and of course, that gorgeous lake. It's the perfect spot for family photos in Lake County.

Coryn wanted a relaxed, natural feel for their photos, and I think we achieved just that! We let the kids explore, play, and just be themselves while I captured those candid moments of joy and connection. Of course, we snuck in a few posed portraits too! 😉

This session was a reminder that sometimes, things happen for a reason. I'm so grateful I had the opportunity to work with this wonderful family and create these lasting memories for them.
