Chicago Family Portraits in Wicker Park!

I’ve known Ray since our days at the University of Illinois – and we’ve kept in touch through the various weddings I’ve photographed. And I must say…it’s about time I photographed his beautiful family! We decided to keep their shoot in Chicago and at a neighborhood park: Wicker Park! Most people know the neighborhood in Chicago called Wicker Park…but in case you didn’t know…it is an actual place! =)

Ray’s wife, Jiye, is the talent behind the Chicago fashion blog: Dress Up Files! She has great taste in so many things…and she not only posts inspiration ideas…but also coupon codes! So if you want in on special friends & family coupons…follow her on her blog!

Their family is just so cute…and I’m thrilled to share these family portraits of this Chicago family!

I love the fall sun and the fallen leaves. Brown on the ground…green in the trees…Love it!
