All 2025 galleries have been signed, sealed, delivered and every year I look forward to a quiet January ... time to set aside my camera and be creative in other ways. More movies (a Christopher Guest fest), more shows (The Pitt), more books (nothing will top The Summer I Turned Pretty series), more music (David Bowie's "Heroes" on repeat), more travel plans (TBD). So excited for all that's to come in 2026. If you're looking for a photographer for any events, senior portraits, Mother's Day gifts, etc., please let me know 💕I'll be getting back to work very soon. Xoxo, Brigid

Such a great (and chilly! ❄️) day at Winter Wonderfest. I love capturing this event every year - thank you @meganbeechen_realtor, everyone at Realty Executives Elite, all the sponsors and visitors for bringing so many toys and Christmas cheer to The Pediatric Oncology Treasure Chest Foundation.

I love this photo of @thatgirldesign from this weekend's Hometown Holiday in Lemont! (Even if I'm getting used to my new, VERY bright flash 😂📸)

Have you guys been to The Creative Boutique yet? It’s located right inside @thatgirlandco (400 Main St).

It is such a cool concept - kind of like a restaurant, but instead of ordering food, you order a creative project off a "menu" - charm jewelry, candles, pressed flower art. It's walk-in friendly and BYOB. 👏🏻🍷

If you are looking for something fun to do this month, here are the upcoming December Open Studio dates:

Fri, Dec 12: 5pm - 9pm
Sat, Dec 13: 5pm - 9pm
Fri, Dec 19: 5pm - 9pm
Sat, Dec 20: 11am - 4pm
Mon, Dec 22: 11am - 3pm
Tue, Dec 23: 11am - 3pm
Sat, Dec 27: 1pm - 5pm
Tue, Dec 30: 11am - 3pm

Highly recommend!!

Capturing the Shah family over the years brings me so much joy (thank you, thank you @amanda.m.shah & @amshah89 😘) and so does this snowy backdrop we had for this Christmasy session! All family galleries have been delivered and in this busy season, I just want to thank everyone who booked a photoshoot, who returned from last year, who liked and shared and recommended and commented. It all means so much to me. ❤️Onto prepping for Lemont's Hometown Holiday & putting the finishing touches on a wedding album! More soon. Xoxo, Brigid

Another magically serendipitous photoshoot where you realize how small of a world Lemont can really be. ✨The Tyszkiewicz family was so kind and I loved editing their gallery. So much more to come from my last weekend of holiday portraits.

Blooper reel! 📸My tripod battery kept dying, the wind kept blowing and I hope everyone enjoys the full Christmas tree video for the Village of Lemont (in stories or Village Facebook page).

Still some color left on the trees by the quarries 🍂🍁🍃I rarely came down to this area as a kid and wish I had! A hidden gem of Chicagoland (a six-mile trail with these colors ... sharing with all of my photographer friends). Thank you, @tina_marie18_ for letting me capture your precious family. Baby girl's red dress made everything pop!

Morning with the Masny family ☀�️We had the entire downtown to ourselves the other day and it was wonderful. The silence reminded me of the early '00s Lemont (... kidding). Tomorrow is my very last fall mini by the canal before this page becomes @theforgelemont content. To celebrate a new month and new location, I'm offering $25 off Holiday Photos at The Forge: Lemont Quarries with code "HOLIDAY25" exclusively to my followers.

This was maybe the most special, serendipitous photoshoot ever. After seeing an ad on Facebook, the Benfields booked a fall mini with me and it turns out they're the family that moved into my childhood home last year. I was trying to keep it together, but when Georgia told me she had my old room and Gemma had the room by the apple tree (my sister's), I just about lost it. That house holds 30+ years of my memories, all the Christmas mornings, all the homework assignments, the dinners, the bad news, the good news, the episodes of Frasier during the pandemic. I'm so grateful for all of it. To know that there are young sisters back there again ... I hope they love it as much as I did.

Priscilla + Veronica made this photoshoot so wonderful. I've run into @twnmom at Lemont events and have stopped them numerous times for photos because their family is so darn cute! Add in Grandma and Grandpa and my heart is full 💕

🍂 I had such a fun time with the @adupesjohnson family - they were too cute!

I always say I'll deliver 20 photos for fall minis, but really, all of my sessions end up with at least 50 final photos because if you get good shots, why not share them?

So, instead of my “under promise, over deliver” strategy, I’ll be transparent: you’ll get a full, joy-filled gallery that's a lot more than 20. 😉

If you haven’t booked your fall family photos yet, there are still plenty of spots left! Link in bio. 🔗

Fall minis are officially kicking into high gear 🍂🍁I had such a wonderful time with this gorgeous family who helped me celebrate the first official Downtown Lemont "mini" session of the season.

We took advantage of the beautiful, expansive and quiet area near the Canal Center (a spot I remembered as Safety Village growing up #old) & now
I'm going to try and incorporate this beautiful part of town into all my minis.

I still have a few spots left! If you're interested in capturing your own family, check out the link in my bio for details. 🔗

Introducing, Valentina! 💕🎀🤩In-home newborn photoshoots add years to my life. Thank you @alessandra.panko for this session & congrats on your beyond beautiful little girl. Xo

Fall mini dates ADDED! 🍂🍁🍃Between work, school and sports, I totally get that life can get hectic, so I try to make these 20-minute sessions feel as fast and easy as possible (that's the goal, anyway).

Here's how it works: I meet you downtown Lemont, we walk around for a little bit while I capture you just as you are - no stiff poses - and you'll receive a minimum of 20 digital images within one week of the photoshoot. "How easy is that?" - Ina Garten

Reserve your spot at link in bio! 🔗

The sweetest little souls. Max & Ava (and teddy 🧸)brought the brightest light to a quiet, overcast afternoon in downtown Lemont.

So trippy to stand in your old classroom and see your teacher's name still written on the desks (slide 2). 😵‍💫Time is wild. Great to be back at St. Al's / St. Pat's ☘️
