    So happy – Aug 21, 2010

    I’m so glad we found Sri to do our maternity photos! At first I was really hesitant to book him. Although I could see from his website that he took great photos, he was so inexpensive compared to other photographers I had looked at with the same quality of photos. I’ve always been taught that if something seems to good to be true, it probably is. I thought for sure there was some kind of catch that I was missing! I talked to both Sri and his wife, Jana, a couple times on the phone, which eased my fears quite a bit. They were both always very pleasant and informative. We ended up spending two hours on the shoot, which is about twice as long as most of the other photographers I had called (who charge about twice as much). Sri and Jana were both METICULOUS. Every detail was tended to and there wasn’t a pose that didn’t end up with a beautiful picture. I was also concerned because I’m very critical of myself and I was worried I wouldn’t like pictures of myself carrying around the extra pregnancy weight, but he knew exactly how to pose and set the lighting to make every picture flattering. I’m so happy we decided to do maternity photos and even happier we went with Sri. Sri and Jana were so patient and kind. You can tell Sri is incredibly committed to making his clients happy with every single photo. I will definitely be recommending him to all of my friends! I hope I can get in for a few more shoots after the baby is born before too many people find out how great he is and I can no longer afford him!

    Children will do anything and everything for you since they don’t hold grudges and reset themselves within nanoseconds. They will do whatever you want and more as long as you get to their level (lose your ego) and ask them in their language. Their language need not necessarily be a real language…it could be a toy, a cookie or even a promise (to get them ice-cream after the shoot). This is exactly what happened frame by frame…

    I am not interested

    Translation: Show me you really care and I will listen to you

    I won’t cooperate

    Translation: I will cooperate but you got to do more than mommy asking me to look at the camera

    2 Park Ridge Kids Photography | Fun Candid Photo Session

    This is when Jana mentioned “I have a surprise for youuuu..you wanna see it?” He immediately forgets that he is pretending to be disinterested..and ..well shows (obvious) interest

    3 Park Ridge Kids Photography | Fun Candid Photo Session

    Jana tells him what the surprise is and he gets visibly excited.

    4 Park Ridge Kids Photography | Fun Candid Photo Session

    Jana gives him the surprise (ball) and earns his trust. Kids show unconditional trust as long as we keep our promise

    5 Park Ridge Kids Photography | Fun Candid Photo Session

    Jana says “Now that I gave you the ball, can you please jump up please?”…he absolutely obliges.

    6 Park Ridge Kids Photography | Fun Candid Photo Session

    Sri to Jana: “But I did not capture his hand fully…can he jump again?” From here on it is easy…he asks for the ball instead of not cooperating and does it as many times as we want to get the various shots. I love kids..they are so pure….pure fun!

    He is happy but tired. I get one more shot and that’s it. Total time: 7 minutes

    We respect his time and age and he respects us. Win-Win!!

    It was so much fun to photograph a beautiful family with so much love for one another. We left early this past weekend to a secluded beach and took these pictures. Although I was a little bit worried about the weather, it turned out to be a gorgeous day!

    Here are some of my favorites from the outdoor candid kids photo session.

    Jana and I could not decide whether to call this lovely mom-to-be, beautiful or cute…she was both. But, we both agree that she and her husband are sooo in love and they make a gorgeous couple! Liam (William) will be their baby’s name icon smile Modern Colorful Pregnancy Photography Chicago, IL | Maternity Photography Session

    This mom-to-be called me about a month ago with several questions and concerns. Jana and I alternated and patiently answered every question. After all, she wanted to know more about our maternity photography services. By the time she came in for the shoot, we knew what she was looking for and her (close-knit) family really well including her dog Ralphie. We were thrilled to see her come in with a icon confused Modern Colorful Pregnancy Photography Chicago, IL | Maternity Photography Session and leave with a icon smile Modern Colorful Pregnancy Photography Chicago, IL | Maternity Photography Session

    We wish them the very best in life!

    I have mentioned this before – We learn a lot from our son as well as from other babies especially during our baby photo sessions. The most important thing I have learned is to patiently and consistently keep trying without getting distracted and clients WILL appreciate it.
