What a wonderful Fall season we had in Chicago! It was full of sunshine and beautiful colors stayed longer, which kept us, photographers, very busy!

I met this beautiful family and fell in love with them immediately! They were so much fun to work with. They have an amazing bond among them, which made my job even easier and fun! The mom did a great job coordinating outfit colors and patterns!
We got so lucky with amazing weather, a beautiful sunset and as a result beautiful sunlit photos!
Please, enjoy warmth, sun, love and joy looking at these pictures during cold winter days 🙂

I’m opening bookings to the next Fall sessions(2019) on December 15, 2018. Please note they fill out very quickly since there is only a month and a half window!

I can’t believe I never have blogged about this beautiful family session that happened to be last summer!

I can’t wait for a warmer weather here in Chicago. It is April already but still freezing brrr 🙂 Hopefully it will warm up soon and I can’t wait for my favorite sunset sessions!

I met this beautiful and fun family long time ago. Our kids even went to one theater together and played on one stage, so it was an absolute pleasure to photograph this family!

Girls were amazing and you can see how much love they have for each other! We all had fun during photo shoot 🙂

Chicago winter is cold and unpredictable but it is always warm and comfortable in Golden Charms Photography studio!
Mommies to be are always in a good hands!

It is known that being pregnant is not easy for everyone and posing for pictures doesn’t make it easier! That’s why we have comfortable sofa, snacks and water in studio. There is no set time for maternity session since it is very important for moms to sit, relax and recharge in the process of a session!

We have several gowns, dresses and fabric available as well as makeup artist and hair stylist can be available too!

This little sweet girl was just a dream at her session! She slept through the whole session and let me work my magic 🙂

Her mom had something special she wanted me to use!

First it was her own wedding dress, she really wanted it to be in the picture with her little baby girl, I think it came out just awesome!

She also wanted her knitted blanket in the picture, and some plush toys 🙂 I’m always open to the ideas parents have. They have something very important for them and they want to cherish it forever!

This pose( froggy) is a high demand from parents! It is a combination of two pictures. Baby is never left alone or unsupported 🙂

Baby Ishan came to me right before Christmas so we decided we will use couple of Christmas setups!

I think he felt very cozy in my studio since he slept through the entire session!

And we got just a tiny smile 🙂

Very serious conversation happening between daddy and son!

A perfect family portrait 🙂

Andrea contacted me for her maternity session a couple of months ago. She wanted something simple yet timeless and sent me some of her ideas for the photoshoot. I was very happy to help her with that!
The minute she walked into my studio I was speechless! She was so beautiful inside and out! The session time flew by so quickly and I got a lot of beautiful pictures for her gallery! You can see how stunning she is!

Not everyday I get to photograph twins. So every time I do get this chance I want to make something special 🙂 So this time I decided to make a nest for these two little birdies!

First I wanted create an earthy background, so I decided to paint a canvas, it took me around 3 hours, not so bad 🙂

Then I created a nest, ( combined two wreaths from Michaels store) and bunch of wool layers.

My Mom knitted two little hats so they are the same color and I was ready for those little babies.

They were so adorable and so easy to work with. I fell in love with them right away.
