Not your average team photos {Chicago childrens photographer}

I won't say it was fate, but it was a very unique set of circumstances that introduced me to Premier Poms Experience in Barrington, IL.  It was good timing, a little luck, and some really good people.  And, I'm so thrilled to get to know this awesome organization.  What makes them awesome?  They are a not-for-profit poms team, whose mission is caring and competition.  How cool is that?  The partners started the organization after some not so good experiences with coaching that was, well, not so positive.   Coaching is supposed to make people better right?   And it has to be done well, especially if you're coaching young girls who are trying to develop their identities and self-confidence.  And, after spending two practices with these girls, Val and I were wow'd by how much they do truly care about each girl.  It was so awesome to experience.  And, it was so much fun to get to know these girls during their photo shoots.  Each of them was incredible. 

Here are a few of the images... and I can't even say these are my favorites, because there were truly so many great ones!  And, thank you, to the partners, the coaches, the girls, and their parents!  I'll look forward to seeing you all next year!












Oh, and I just have to add this. We did the photos at the Lake Barrington Field House, which is where the girls practice. Wow. That place is sooo huge and so cool!

Julie I think these are some of the absolute BEST team photos I've ever seen. The group shots are nothing short of spectacular!

Julie, that composite is absolutely the most creative team portrait I have ever seen. That set the bar for all other team photographers.

Julie is the BEST! We are hooked! Not only does she totally deliver with outstanding photography, but she is the BEST person to work with and knows how to truly connect with the kids...(Thank you Julie!!!! xo Jen gray)
