My family got to go berry picking in Utica, IL.

Feb 28

Not only did I get to photograph clients going berry picking at Choo Choo Farms in Utica, IL but I also got to do some lifestyle photography with my own kids.

This was our first time visiting this magical berry picking farm just a minute down the road from our house we just bought in 2023.

My kids had so much fun running around the fields, picking and eating to their hearts content. We were able to make a pie with the berries we picked and still freeze some to add into smoothies!

My friend was able to capture me with my kiddos, which is always so hard to get being the one always behind the camera. You’ll never regret hoping in a photo and being able to look back on those images of you together having fun with your kids. Even if you never share it and keep it close to your heart.
