STORIES OF THE EVERYDAY
Chicago Documentary Family Photography
today’s mundane is tomorrow’s treasure
Chicago-based documentary family photographyLovies tucked under one arm. Wispy ponytails. Faces pressed against the sliding door. Family beach days. Picking dandelion bouquets. Waving to the garbage truck. The routines and moments that we fly through without a second thought are both forgotten easily and longed for the most when it’s all over. Don’t just tell them what it was like. Show them.
Hey, I’m Caili (pronounced Kay-lee) and I am so happy that you’re here! I spent the first half of my career photographing weddings, and I’ve since applied everything I learned about thinking on the fly, anticipating emotional moments and mastering any (any!) lighting scenario to bring my vision of family photography to life. Fueled by my own desperation to hold onto my three daughters’ childhood, I want to reshape the way you think about family photography. The signs and sounds of little bodies in our home are a treasure that I never want to take for granted. What you’ll see here is a view into my heart…snapshots of small moments in time that would otherwise be forgotten.
