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.

Merry Christmas

Happy Holidays to all my wonderful clients. Thank you for another great year.

By now I think its safe to assume that Christmas cards have been mailed so showing off a few favorites won’t spoil any surprises. I love Christmas cards of all kinds.  My favorite part is opening them.  I love collecting the mail and sorting out the fun mail from the piles of bills and junk. It’s really the only time of the year that I’m eager to get the mail. With the fast paced world we have created for ourselves the Christmas card remains a connection between families that confirms that we are community.  A community of believers in all things Christmas.

Happy New Year 2011,

Sally Roeckell




Winter is here!

This is for all my readers in those beautiful sunny locations where winter  may not be knocking on your door. We scheduled this session a few weeks ago and it had to be postponed because of illness. Luckily our newly scheduled date coincide with our first snowfall. The blanket of white was beautiful and the kids couldn’t have been more excited. Throughout November I have been absent from my blog because it is such a busy season that blogging takes back seat. I have many sessions to post to bring myself up to date.  I just couldn’t resist sharing this sneak peak of  this snowy day.


Smart, Creative AND Beautiful

Waking a teenager up early can be risky. No problem for  this beautiful senior.  We met at 7:30am to head to a nearby seminary campus that has beautiful vistas. It was a gorgeous morning. The photos show what a beautiful young lady she has grown to be. Our session ended with a pumpkin latte. Perfect for a cool fall morning.
