Roeckell Photography bio picture
  • Welcome!

    Thank you for visiting my new blog site. Web site...Blog site, what's the difference? Well, think of the website as a portfolio and the blog as a living, breathing, visual conversation about the latest works from Roeckell Photography.

    I am a photographer, located in Barrington, Illinois, specializing in contemporary lifestyle and portrait photography of children, babies, newborns, maternity and families. I am also available for commercial work and travel. Much of my work is done on location utilizing the beautiful hues of natural light, however I do have a large studio in my home.

    I believe the secret to amazing photos that speak to your heart is allowing the children to be at ease. I let them be themselves in a fun environment were they are free to run, play, snuggle and once in a while stop to pose. My goal is that the images you receive will reveal the true spirit that makes your loved ones unique.

    Sit back, relax and enjoy scrolling through the images. Leave a comment! I enjoy seeing what you have to say. Feel free to send me an email or visit me on facebook if you have any questions.

    It's great to see you here. Thanks for supporting Roeckell Photography.

Beautiful Wedding Beautiful Family Barrington Family Photography

Wedding Photography has never been on my list of things to do. However, when a good friend ask me to help capture this special day I couldn’t refuse. With the help of my friend and fellow photographer Cynthia Kristufek (check her out on flickr, she rocks)  and my son Paul we spent the afternoon and evening capturing and sharing in this beautiful day for Anita and Joe.  What a beautiful family they have formed. We hope it’s the start of a long happy road.  Congratulations!


Sweet Well Behaved and Gorgeous! Barrington, Lake Zurich Family Photography

This is what I need to do for myself.  Photograph my own boys looking sweet and kind toward one another.  That way when they are bickering like an old married couple (like right now) I can look at my wall and know that for just a moment they were all happy (or at least pretended to be).  These boys however, were the real deal.  Sweet brothers, well behaved and so handsome.  Thanks for making my afternoon boys!

 


Props, Chairs and Red Riding Hoods ~ Barrington and North Shore Family Photographer

I have been asked to be a contributing blogger for a fun Blog site called Prop Insanity.  It is what the name implies. All about the props that photographers go nuts over.  As much as I like to think of myself as a photographer with a pure and clean editorial style I just can’t help but add in the occasional prop.  Sometimes its a blanket or chair or the perfect bucket to put a baby into and in some cases it is what Mother Nature provides.  These are the images from my most recent Prop Insanity post featuring may red chair and cape.  You can check out the actual posts at…Prop Shopping and Props, chairs and red riding hood.
