Here are some additional images from my Spring Minis Event.

I love these type of events with back-to-back 20-minute sessions because it gives families that have never taken professional photos before a taste of what the experience looks like, AND I think mini sessions are great for young children that have a short attention span.

The next event will be in the fall - dates to be announced. My mini events typically sell out quickly, so if you are interested in learning about them first, please register to my newsletter here.

After my busiest Fall season ever, I did not want to miss the chance to share images from my 2023 mini sessions. These 15-minute Fall sessions as my most requested service and they tend to book very fast. Families love the ease of getting in and out, taking traditional family photos, and including a few minutes for candids and play for a good combination of images. I usually host them at two locations during an October weekend, and this year we held them first at Montrose Harbor and then at Diversey Natural Area.

Whenever I promote my special 15-minute petite sessions (Mother’s Day, Fall, and Holiday season) people who have not worked with me before often ask me if it is actually possible to get some good pictures in that period of time. Well… here is the answer! 15 minutes, one location, multiple backdrops, multiple posses, lots of laughter and play and multiple images to choose from.

The theme for my 2021 Holiday Mini Sessions was “Being Present” and the set was decorated with many gifts wrapped in white and decorated with beautiful ribbons. I wanted to keep the set minimal, with simple and neutral colors that allow families to either make their sessions formal or causal, depending on what they wanted to wear.

Fall season is just around the corner, and so is my Fall Mini Photoshoot event. This is by far my most popular time of year for family photos. That is why this year I have increased the number of spots available and including a second location in the North Shore to accommodate more families. Per usual, I am scheduling them around peak foliage to make sure we get lots of beautiful colors in our images.

It was a balmy morning that started covered in clouds but ended up with plenty of sunlight - forcing me to get creative to avoid harsh light. But, oh! Chicago Spring delivered. Thanks so much to all the families that came and made this Spring Mini Photoshoot event a success.

The sessions will be held ONE DAY only: April 25th.

This is a wonderful gift in time for mother’s day.

This year I partnered with my favorite pediatric dentist office, Grins on Green Bay at Kenilworth, to offer a mini holiday photoshoot in a safe environment.
