I’m so excited! My first ever family portrait promotion!
Last Minute Holiday Photos! – a limited promotion by Nakai Photography

So yesterday…I picked up the keys to my new studio in Chicago! Nakai Photography is now in Lincoln Park! I am super excited about this new endeavor…and to kick it off, I had a photoshoot with the Frank & Julie’s family! I have been photographing them since 2007- you can see a previous photoshoot from this past summer here. So it’s only fitting that the Frank & Julie are the first family I photograph in my new studio!
This studio is so fresh that I literally don’t have anything in this new space yet. It’s a warehouse loft…and it’s HUGE! I’m sharing the space with Vale of Enna (floral designer) – though we occasionally work together on weddings, we were friends back in junior high school! I’ll share more about the new studio space in future posts…but I wanted to throw this out there to all the families, couples and dog owners:
Anyways, back to Frank and Julie- here are some more portraits from our session together! I love this picture of all the kids together!

Then some photos of each kid by themselves, I think some of them believe the candy cane is a martial arts weapon-





I love this photo collage of the kids-

And a “Nakai Photography” portrait of Frank & Julie!

Thanks you guys for a great time and for being apart of this new chapter of Nakai Photography! I hope it was worth the drive from the ‘burbs to Chicago!
