Kankakee River State Park Family Photos | The Metzger Family

This fall is shaping up to be an amazing season filled with even more amazing families!

As I always say, there is no greater compliment than being invited to photograph a family year after year. It is such a gift to document not just the big milestones, but the in-between moments, too. Every chapter of your story matters. I’m so grateful to be trusted with capturing these memories that become part of your family’s legacy.

My friendship with the Metzger family goes back to 2018 when they were planning their wedding day and found my work. I’ll forever be thankful for that connection over seven years ago. From engagement photos to wedding day, first babies, anniversaries, and so many family sessions in between – we’ve walked through so much life together with my camera in hand.

This year, their boys are turning 2 and 4, and I can’t believe that! We made sure to squeeze in photos before harvest began on the farm. These two are growing so fast, and it’s such a joy to watch their personalities shine with each passing year. They kept us on our toes in the best way and gave me so many favorite moments from our time together. I mean, those sibling photos have my heart swelling. Honestly, I think these might just be my favorite photos I’ve taken of this sweet family yet!

Metzger crew – you know I adore you all. It’s always an honor to be invited back, and I’m feeling so grateful to document another season of your story. Enjoy some favorites from this year’s session!
