Chicago Wedding Photography Family Portrait Photographer | Otto Rascon » Otto Rascon is a Chicago photographer specializing in wedding photography and family portraits.

I’ve had the pleasure of photographing the Russotiesi family about a year ago, so I was really excited to work with them again. I knew that the little ones would look a lot different and that’s something that I was looking forward to seeing. Sure enough the kiddos were so much bigger and were even conversing with me. How cool!

We met up at the beautiful Morton Arboretum in Lisle, IL. We simply walked around and hung out while I photographed them as a family and then as individuals. There really isn’t a bad place to shoot around there – everywhere you turn there is a beautiful location/background. I was also encouraged to see that the Morton Arboretum had their outdoor art series happening that month. We were able to get some really cool shots near some of the installments. You’ll see my favorite down below that says “You Are Beautiful.” This family is beautiful and we had a great time.

Here are a handful of my favorite photos from our Morton Arboretum family photo shoot:

Set-Up

By The Way – I always say to stick to your gut when shooting outdoors. I was tempted to end the shoot early due to the kiddos wanting to go home, but I thought that one more location would be great if we could get their cooperation. The last portrait of the family came out of that last little push.
