Meeting new families is one of my greatest joys as a photographer! Christina reached out to me to capture their family photos as their daughter, Mila, was turning one!

Mila wore a dress made by Christina’s great grandmother that 3 generations of girls have worn for their first birthday portraits :) How special is that?!

We took their family portraits at sunrise in their beautiful backyard in Park Ridge. Such an honor — and one of my favorite sessions ever! Scroll on to see why :)
