Rock Cut State Park, Rockford, IL Family Photographer | Chris, Karissa, Bennett, & Family

Rock Cut State Park, Rockford, IL Family Photographer

Look who’s back! I’ve photographed Chris and Karissa EVERY YEAR since 2014! (In case you need proof: Engagement 2014, Wedding 2015, Family 2016, Family 2017, and now this year, which I don’t have to link because here you are) It always gives me the feels when a client trusts me enough to have me document their lives year in and year out. Also I just CAN’T BELIEVE how big Bennett has gotten since I saw him last year…he’s practically a grown up! Especially compared to that 2016 family session when he was just a wee little babe!!

We ended up at Chris and Karissa’s house for the last part of our shoot, but we started at Rock Cut State Park, which is where I photographed Chris and Karissa’s engagement pictures, and where we did their family photos last year. It was fun for me while editing this set to go back and compare these to last year’s shoot. It felt like all we did was replace Bennett with a bigger version of himself, haha! It’d be kind of fun to do this every year and make it into a flip book when he graduates high school. I’m thinking of the swinging photos in particular. What d’ya think Karissa?!?! ;) ;) ;)
