Goldstein Family|Northern Illinois Family Photographer|Erin Reed Photography

Love this family! They are personal family friends of the Reed's and I couldn't be happier mom decided to take the plunge and get their new family portraits taken! After more than one trip to the store to find outfits with yours truly working as fashion consultant, as well as mom stealing the scarf off my neck as I got out of the car, I think the look is perfect. Stylish, colorful, comfortable, just like the family. The boys weren't so sure at first if they really wanted me to be doing this but finally warmed up to the idea. I don't know if it helped that they already knew me or made it a little more awkward for them...

How sweet are they???

We had to do some of just mom and dad. Without them, the rest wouldn't be here, right?

Lucas was being too cool for mom! I love the look she's giving him.

Griffin chose this pose all on his own so mom just jumped in!

Griff was my little model all day! He rocked the session!

Jordan wasn't so thrilled with me being there. 14 year olds are too cool for pictures but I won and got some really great shots of him anyway!

And we can't forget about Lucas! Such a cutie pie!

It was an awesome afternoon and I think they would all agree, relatively painless even if it was freezing! Thanks Goldsteins!
