It’s so special to be able to capture memorable moments with you and your kids. I don’t think I’m alone in having thousands of action photos of my kids, but very few with me in them. And nothing compares to the quality of professional photographs. I made the mistake of not having family photographs taken for many years and I definitely regret it!

So how do you find a local family photographer? We have some great options! The photographers in this guide are incredibly talented with their camera, lighting, and editing, which makes a big difference. Searching for “family photographers near me”? We have great suggestions for you.

All of the photographers in this guide come recommended, serve the western suburbs of Chicago, and chose to be featured. You will find a description of each family photographer, contact information, and samples of their work to help you find the perfect fit. So take a look at all of them and book now for whatever season you have in mind because their sessions fill up!

Hi, I’m Esther of EsteeG Photography. I love meeting new families and seeing my dear regular families year after year. A photography session with me will have lots of laughs, tickles and smiles. Don’t worry, I will capture your traditional family photo while capturing those tender moments of snuggling with mom, the big bear hugs for dad and your little ones holding hands and even giving those cootie kisses.

The diversity of the session will make the time fly by and you won’t even realize you’re having your picture taken. I believe photographs are extremely important as they tell your family’s story and become your history. I look forward to giving you photographs that you can revisit over and over again.

NO ONE WANTS BORING PHOTOS

You are unique. You are moms-to-be, new and experienced parents, you stay home with the kids, you are working, and all of you are amazing. You work hard. You play hard. You love hard, why not show all of that off? As the unique people you are, would you be happy with the same old staged poses and fake smiles hanging on your wall that your parents had? 

I didn’t think so… 

Let’s make sure you have a fun, relaxed session so you will have something magical to hang on your walls unlike anything else.

Contact me to schedule.
