Welcome to Barbie Lee Photography

Thank you for checking out my site! I am a Chicago and Southwest Michigan portrait photographer that specializes in capturing the beautiful attributes and moments of newborns, children and families. I strive for capturing the real candid moments of children and families but start out taking some posed photos where everyone is looking at the camera. I do my very best to make the session fun because the best pictures are captured when kids are interacting with their surroundings, siblings, parents, or me and forgetting about the camera.

The Process

Planning Your Session

I want to learn all about the uniqueness of your children and family.  This helps me see the real them/you and know how to capture it in the expressions and moments of a photograph.

Designing for Your Home

Where in your home do you want to display your photographs? Do you want a gallery of various size matted frames walking up your stairs or a fine art canvas greeting you when you open your front door.

Making Memories

My goal is to capture the real happiness, beauty, and innocence of you and your family.  The session location should be a place that not only reflects you and your family but a place where everyone can have fun.

Viewing and Ordering Session

The reveal!  This is what it is all about.  If I have done my job correctly, this is where I hear “that picture is so Lucy” or “you captured our family so authentically”!
