Vesa Family – Fall Family Photos in Crystal Lake IL

I just had a stupendous session with the Vesa family. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – I truly have the best clients ever! This family was no exception, either. I know Paula and Alex since 2012!! I photographed their engagement in Crystal Lake then their wedding at Empress Banquets in Adisson and then family photos every single year! Last year session was also in Crystal Lake.

Beautiful family in Crystal Lake Forest.

We met at Forest Preserve – Veteran Acres in Crystal Lake . I love shooting at Veteran Acres because because it creates a mountain like vibe for the photos.

For our shoot, the Vesa’s came in fall outfits and they brought a had for each member except for Alex which is not a big fan of hats! . I was able to work in the props and the outfits they chose, which really made for some amazing photos.
