A few months ago, Katy proposed a great idea. Her parents would be traveling from their home in Hawaii for a visit here in Chicago. Since Katy doesn’t have any childhood photos of herself with her grandparents, she wanted to capture some special moments with her parents and Ben and Molly. Katy and Jason have an idyllic cottage in Union Pier, MI…which is only about 70 minutes from Chicago. She thought we could mix it up and do the session there. You know me, I’m a sucker for grandparent photos. And, on a beautiful beach, to boot? My dream session! Mike and Eloise joined me for the ride and had a blast exploring Union Pier while I spent time shooting with these six. (Seven, if you count Cooper, the family pup, who definitely wanted to mug for my camera!) Then Katy and Jason treated us all to amazing shrimp rolls and the best root beer floats I’ve ever had at Nani’s Café. It was a fantastic time! These photos are so special. Thanks for the wonderful idea, Katy, and for all of the friendly hospitality. Mike, Ellie, and I loved being part of your crew for the day! (And I am seriously still thinking about that delicious lunch!)
