in bloom | Chicago family photographer

When Nancy and I first chatted about her family shoot, she was imagining springtime with flowering trees – pink flowering trees in particular. Then spring came in like a lion and maintained it’s lion-ness (yes that’s a new word, I just invented it, you’re welcome!)…and well…it just kept raining. It was also unseasonably freezing for so much of the spring. Pretty much just awful. This made Nancy and I a little nervous, but at the same time, I was hoping all of that rain would pay off with some blooms for her. And it definitely did! We had to brave the cold, but the weekend we did this shoot, everything was in bloom. And it just so happened that one of the trees had pink blossoms 🙂 We hit it at just the perfect time, these blooms were only around for a week or two at most.
