I’ve been wanting to visit Filter for awhile now. It’s an eclectic coffee shop in Chicago full of mid century furniture, quirky art, and a window that lets in the most glorious light in the afternoon. I was supposed to do a family session there in the fall but it was insanely busy so we opted for a cupcake shop instead. I was happy when Mikelle asked me to take a few pictures of Kingston (also known as King) for his yearly album we put together for all of her kids. You may remember her family sessions here, here, here, and here. She suggested Filter and of course I was on board. King and Cros are best buds so he came with so the boys could play. They were so funny together and were the afternoon entertainment for everyone trying to read or get work done. The images above are a few of my favorites. Mikelle and I decided that next time the hubby’s are going to watch the kiddos so we can sit there for hours sipping on our lattes. I mean, there’s also a Free People store down the block sooooo….
I took their family pictures in Marfa, Texas this past summer and need to blog them soon as Marfa is amazing and such a beautiful backdrop. We have a few ideas up our sleeve for their session this summer and it’s going to be killer. I can’t wait!
