i recently travelled to glencoe (a suburb of chicago) to photograph two gorgeous families. i spent the morning with the cutest little boy EVER at the chicago botanic garden. two-and-a-half year old toddler + wide open spaces = lots of photographs of him running away. 
(this one is too silly not to post!)
all the running around wore him out, so when we got back to the house, i was able to take a more serene photo

i took a break for a couple of hours to avoid the harsh mid-day sun (and the rain showers that so kindly held off while we did our outside shots!) and then spent the afternoon with another family in glencoe.
