St James forest preserve and farm are a popular selection for those based in the western Chicago suburbs featuring white fencing and timeless farm stables. I'm a sucker for a white fence, so it's a go to spot for me. I do recommended a stroller or wagon if you have littles because the property is large and sometimes we will move about to explore more leaving the littles with tired legs or parents dripping sweat from carrying them. Neither is ideal for capturing family memories.
This was my first time working with the Copple family for their family session. They were so sweet and so much fun to work with. It's always a treat when fur babies join for family photos too!!!
