Lurie Gardens family photos with the Sutherlands

Living up the last days of summer with Lurie Gardens family photos

It’s been such a joy watching the Sutherlands family grown. I first met Engy and Jason years ago when they hired me to be their wedding photographer. Seven or so years and three kiddos between us, I now think of them more as friends than clients.

This year Engy was hoping for a summery, fun outdoor family session. Originally we talked about the beach, but with busy schedules and a rainstorm the night before, we opted to stick to our date and stay land-bound. Thankfully the Lurie Gardens at Millenium Park was super picturesque on this first day of September. In fact, I think the pink, purple, and white flowers still in bloom in the background is pretty much perfect with their outfits. I guess it was meant to be 🙂

Bonus stop-through at The Art Institute

Make sure to scroll to the bottom for the pictures from the Art Institue north-side garden (post-bathroom break).
