Chicago's Montrose Beach Bird Sanctuary Family Session| Mallon Family

Nothing brings me more joy than seeing my wedding couples years later, now holding babies in their arms. Truly—those moments never get old for me.

Carly and Dan signed up for my Four Seasons Session Collection (an offering reserved exclusively for my past couples), and that meant I finally got to meet their handsome little guy, Logan. With his bright smile, adorable bald little head, and so many expressions, he completely stole the show. Every turn click of the camera felt like a new emotion, and I couldn’t help but wonder what was going on in that sweet little mind. If babies could talk, I imagine Logan would have a lot to say.

But one thing wouldn’t need words at all.

The way he looked at his mom and dad said everything. The love, the comfort, the absolute adoration—it was obvious, natural, and so beautiful to witness. Carly and Dan have stepped into this season so effortlessly, and seeing them as parents felt just as right as watching them say “I do” years ago.

These are the moments that remind me why I do what I do—capturing love as it grows, changes, and deepens with time. Thank you for allowing me to capture these memories for you at Chicago's Montrose Beach Bird Sanctuary for your family session.
