Loved this Legion Park family session a couple of weeks ago!

I’ve been photographing this family pretty much since I picked up a camera nearly thirteen years ago, and Vicki has done my hair since I was a little kid. Thinking back over the years, I’ve photographed all four of these kiddos as they’ve grown and even got to babysit the two oldest for several years in high school. At the same time, it’s hard to believe how much this family has grown and changed over the years – I’m thankful I’ve been able to photograph them throughout all these years.

These people are family to us. They’ve always been big supporters of my photography journey, so it’s a joy to photograph them throughout life’s seasons and year after year.

This summer was a special milestone because the second oldest kiddo in the Walver family just started his senior year of high school! We snapped a few photos of him before kicking off this family session.

The Walver family met me at Legion Park in Watseka for these photos. Remember that stretch of summer days not too long ago when we experienced crazy humidity and heat indexes over 100 degrees? Well, with busy schedules for all, we still made this session happen despite the weather! I’m so glad we got these photos in and that everyone was up for the challenge.

As I was editing this session in my home office, I was texting Vicki outtakes and bloopers from our session. Vicki is one of my clients and friends that always finds joy in the chaos and appreciates the candid, real moments. And let me tell you, the outtakes from this session are gold! I cannot believe how grown up these boys are and love this family so much!

Sessions with the Walver family (even in the crazy heat) never disappoint! Enjoy some favorites!
