It’s been one year | Chicago Lifestyle Family Photographer

What’s on my mind lately is that it’s been one year. How do we even begin to measure this amount of time and all the paradoxes it held? How is it possible that we could have missed out on so much in this last year, but also lived so much life at the same time?

Having had a baby myself in the middle of all that was 2020, I feel these photos so much. Because the truth is, life didn’t stop for us in the pandemic. Sure, it shifted, in cataclysmic ways even, but we found new ways of being. Babies continued to be born. Home took on new meaning. We tried our best to have hope, and find our own rays of sunshine, and often, that was by seeking joy in the mundane every day.

Hey, if you want photos of you and your family that capture you all in a way that doesn’t just remind you what you look like, but what your family feels like, send me an email. I’d love to chat with you! In the mean time, if you want to see some more lovely family sessions, you might enjoy this post or this one.
