Meet Tricia of Tricia Lee Photography and her son, Chandler! Tricia contacted me about a month ago to book me for a fun shoot of her and Chandler as a birthday present to herself. I was very honored, of course, but I was also a little nervous about this shoot because a.) I had never done a shoot with mom and son before, and b.) Tricia is a great photographer! But we all had a great time together walking the streets of Naperville, looking for different backdrops for our shenanigans. Chandler is a senior in high school this year and he hopes to play college football next year–he is an awesome player! I also focused a bit on Tricia as well because she said she wanted some new promo shots of herself. So, without further ado, some of my favorite shots of the day!








My FAVORITE series in a long time
Can’t you just feel the love???

Thanks so much, Tricia, for being so cute and fun and for giving me the opportunity to document this time in your lives! And thanks, Chandler, for being such a good sport





























That’s an awesome shoot! I had a mom-client contact me about doing a similar thing with her teenage son, but the son would have NO PART OF IT. Oh how I wish he could hav been more like Chandler. What an amazing gift he’s given his mom! (And himself too though he might not appreciate that just now.)
Great job, Katie!
these came out awesome!!! shooting photographers is awesome, scary and challenging all at the same time. 1) awesome photog chose you 2) awesome photog chose you
3) they’re up for anything! you rocked it katie!!
WOW…Thanks, Katie for taking the time to do this AWESOME shoot for us. You have captured the spirit of our relationship, which is exactly what I wanted this shoot to be about. I knew you would do a great job, but you totally exceeded my expectations. As I always tell my clients, you can’t get these times back, so you better capture them while you can, and even though I would much rather be behind the lens…you made this painless for us both. Kudos for getting the kiss on the cheek shot…Chandler couldn’t say “NO” because you were so darn cute and sweet. Thanks for the memories. XOXOXO
Beautiful! And what a great idea!
Like #3. Mom looks like she had fun.
It’s always nervewracking shooting for a fellow photographer but you pulled it off beautifully! Great job!
Wow, awesome job! I LOVE that series too! I would have been incredibly nervous as well
I love the first shot and the triple sequence. Crispy clear and oh so love’n it.
Wow! These are great. What a fun shoot!
