A family on the front porch of their home — their sanctuary during stay-at-home orders this spring — has become worthy of a great picture during the era of COVID-19. 

Whether paying a photographer or taking a picture of the kids using an iPhone, families are documenting their lives through quaint or hilarious poses. Be prepared to see some of these on coming holiday cards this winter! 

With the reopening of Illinois in Phase Three, photographers were granted permission to socially distance themselves while taking these #frontporchproject pictures around Chicagoland.
