Lake Chaminwood Family Session: THE BORJRABS

Summer Family Session at Lake Chaminwood | Channahon, IL Family Photographer

This was my second time photographing this beautiful family, and it truly felt like reuniting with old friends. The first time we met, Amara was pregnant, and now their little one is here—making this session even more special. I was so happy when they reached out again to capture their family portraits, this time as a family of four.

We met at Lake Chaminwood in Channahon, IL, a location that’s perfect for summer photos with its peaceful trails and greenery. The day was bright and hot, one of those golden summer afternoons where everything feels alive and colorful. The family wore a mix of greens, pinks, and blues, colors that popped beautifully against the natural scenery.

The girls were absolutely adorable. The session was full of laughter, running around, and genuine moments of joy. I especially loved watching the big sister trying to make her little sister laugh—those little interactions are what make family sessions so heartwarming. Every giggle, every smile, and every hug captured their bond so perfectly.

This session reminded me why I love what I do—seeing families grow and being trusted to capture those milestones along the way. It’s such a joy to document their story year after year.
