Hudson - One Year

This family is a familiar one to this page. - I love love love seeing these guys every year. I am always so shocked at how big the boys get every time. The are turning into little men right before my eyes.
Hudson loved his cake and enjoyed playing ball with his toys with his big bro <3

Polivka Family

I loveeeee these guys. Its been amazing to see them almost every year for the last couple of years!
Their sweet family just keeps growing! This takes me back to amazing weather and beautiful fall sunsets.
I miss it… as its 25 degrees and there is snow on the ground.
Yes. im THAT behind in blogging
Looking forward to seeing these guys again soon. They are all fun, games, and laughs.

Margaret & Rory

When your oldest, and longest best friend asks you for a special session.. you dont say no..
I was GAME for this when it was brought up. Its such a special bond between mother and child. I am so excited I was able to capture these memories. Rory is just the sweetest little boy and its been just amazing to capture all of this milestones

Virginia & Jesse - Family Beach Session

Virginia & Jesse are about the sweetest things ever. I loooooved meeting them back in May for their greenhouse mini. When I did beach sessions they snatched one up and I was so excited to see them again..
Look at these guyyyyyys. One of the best nights at the beach yet!

Blythe Family - Beach Session

This family right here is my FAVE. I have been seeing them for a few years now, and their sessions are always my favorite! <3
Rachel wanted a beach session, so we made it happen. I just cant believe how big these kiddos are getting.
Just LOVED this session.

Perez Family

This sun soaked family session was one of the best summer sessions <3
Although little miss didnt smile so much, her parents were cute enough to make up for that! <3

This was one of my favorites! The sun was PERFECT!

Jonah - Smash Cake

Hands down… favorite smash cake. 2020 has been a crappy year but its really pushed my creativity and set the bar high for awesome sessions like this! Jessica & Adam were a past couple of mine and already are celebrating this little chunks first birthday! This sweet baseball themed smash cake was SO fun.
It started to rain about 10 mixtures before we were done with the session, but the sky did some pretty cool things afterward.

Finnegan - Lifestyle Newborn

I am still behind.. with everything in life.. but Finnegan’s lifestyle newborn session was TOO sweet to not post about!
For the first few minutes of the session, I literally thought he was scared of me.. and I think he was! But as the session moved on he got used to me :)

Kearney Family

I was so excited for this session back in June! I swear they are just the sweetest family ever. Their two boys are so smiley and we had NO shortages in smiles.
This was a nice way to kick off outdoor sessions for sure! <3

Kayla R - Greenhouse Mini

Round two of greenhouse minis were almost as great as the first! There wasn’t a lot of hanging baskets like the first round but it was a fun challenge!
These little girls are like night and day, but are SO adorable. It took awhile for Luna to warm up to me, but those smiles just kept coming!

Sarah, David & Barrett

I love this family. SO much! Sarah & David were a past wedding couple, and capturing their little mans milestones makes me feel more honored than anything!
This was such a fun session! Barrett gave me a run for my money in the smiling department. The sun was perfect, this family is just perfect. SO glad I get to continue seeing these guys. <3


Hiscox Family - Greenhouse Mini

I blinked and these kids just grew up and are now almost adults…

Its always great to see this sweet family! This was one of my favorite mini sessions! These greenhouse minis were something I could see myself doing over and over again. I just loved them!

This was just a fun session.. I loved that the kids barley looked at me and just did their thing. It was amazing. <3

Castillo Family - Greenhouse Mini

OOOOOOOH the Castillo Family… I love them dearly. I have LOVED watching little Nina grow this past year..

Greenhouse Minis were a HUGE hit this year, and im SO going to be doing these again next year! I loved them!

I am just going to leave these here… cause squishy Nina is literally the cutest.

Kominakis Family - Maternity

I never thought that my first session back after the world pretty much stopped… would be so. so. SO good. I legit sat in my car and cried after. You truly don’t know how much you miss what you truly love to do, until you cant do it.
The few weeks of not working was rough. I was SO excited that we were able to get this session in. It felt amazing to create art again. And I LOVE this family. LOVE them.
The sun was beautiful, the weather was great. It literally was a perfect way to kick start working again. I have been busy ever since and im grateful. <3

Welbourne Family - Beach Session

Beach sessions are. my. jam. - this was one of the last ones I had last year. The sunlight was the best I have ever seen. The water was super calm. it was just a great night. I am looking forward to getting back to the beach soon!

Smith Family - Maternity

Back in August… ? I think. I met this wonderful family! They. are. the. cutest! I mean look at those smiles!
I remember this night being SUPER hot, but the sun and the beautiful wildflowers were on POINT.
Coffee creek in Chesterton is my go to location this time of year. Can you blame me?

ONE FOR ONE Gratitude Sessions

ONE FOR ONE Gratitude photo sessions... 

There are so many people who are sacrificing their own time, and their own health for me and my family. SO MANY. 

Things are scary, and there are so many uncertainties, its a weird time. While we are cozy at home, watching Netflix, painting, reading, also staying home as much as possible... These grocery store workers, nurses, doctors, truck drivers, farmworkers, police, first responders, firemen, etc....
they are working every day to provide for US, and our families. 

Im thinking of the nurses, and doctors that may not even be seeing their families to keep them safe. They are exposed every day.. The grocery store workers who are working round the clock to sanitize, and stock the shelves. 
Those truck drivers, who have been away from their families, for weeks, and have been driving for days.

There needs to be a light, there needs to be something to look forward to.. 

All family sessions booked between now and April 19th, will purchase an additional photo session for an essential front line worker of your choice and their family. 
Please email loryn.eaton@yahoo.com for more information.

*Photo sessions will take place when the physical social distancing limitations are lifted.

The Jensen Family - North Ave Beach

I was so excited to meet the Jensen family just a few weeks ago! Hayley wanted a session in Chicago before they moved later this year. This session was CRAZY! We got about 35 minutes into the session and some FOG rolled in. It was the coolest thing. I absolutely loved this session. Loved this family. I wish them all the best in their new adventure!

Family Session Dates

Wedding season is quickly approaching and I have slim to nothing as far as open session dates for family sessions. I LOVE these family sessions, so if you have an open day during the week, and the kids dont have any sport practice or you dont have to work late. Book a session! I want to be able to pack as many sessions into summer and fall as I can. Weddings aren’t the only thing I do ;)
