Due to some recent work and family travel, I’ve gotten to photograph several members of my department. In addition to being a family photographer, I also work with a group of image acquisition specialists for an educational publisher. For these family sessions, I’ve flown to Orlando, driven to Pflugerville and Tayler, Texas, and this last trip took me to the Chicago/Evanston area. After some discussion over where to meet up, we went exploring on the Northwestern University Campus for their family photos.

Lia was a great sport as I stuck her in various trees and plant-life.

And the weather couldn’t have been nicer for this Texas visitor as we walked through the campus buildings and gardens and viewed the Lakefront.

And thanks to another one of my co-workers (Shout Out to Jenny!) for capturing some fun behind the scenes pics as well.

1. How do you know Stephanie Friedman Photography?
I work with Stephanie. I’ve always loved her photography, I follow her on Instagram. I’m impressed by the artistic quality of her family photo sessions; the photos turn out so natural and candid.

2. What was your favorite part of your photo session?

Getting to see Stephanie in action. She’s very energetic, and she’s great at generating ideas for where to take photos. I really liked it when we found a building on the campus near Northwestern that looked like a Harry Potter backdrop with it architectural features. Also, I enjoyed when she used all plants and flowers that she could find as we were walking along the paths.

3. What advice would you give to other families planning a photo session?

Just do it! Quit stalling and enjoy yourselves while capturing some memories. We hadn’t had a photo session since my daughter was in pre-school. Time passes quickly.

4. Anything else you’d like to add?

Thanks so much, Stephanie!
