it's time for another giving partnership! {riverside, il photo sessions}

On July 14, I will be partnering with RJWC for a day of micro photo sessions. This is my 3rd year offering these sessions & I always have such a lovely time!

Here's the lowdown: 15 minute photo session | 5 edited image files | $150

Find your session: Book it!

All sessions will be held in Riverside, at an outdoor location near Swinging Bridge (exact location to be determined as the session date approaches).  

What is a micro session? I'm glad you asked! A micro session is a quick, 15 minute session. It's a great way to get an updated portrait, without the commitment of a full photo session.

Here's the best part...twenty percent of the session profits from this event will go to Riverside Junior Woman's Charity. 

Because these sessions are quick, it's important to keep them as uncomplicated as possible. Babies being photographed should be able to sit up on their own or be in a group photo with someone able to hold them or prop them up. Groups should be no larger than 5 or 6 people. Here are a few fun ideas for these sessions:

For small children, toddlers & young kids: updated portrait (alone or with siblings/cousin/friend), superhero/dress-up portrait, lovey/favorite stuffed animal portrait

For tweens & teens: updated portrait, best friends portrait, all about me portrait (what is your kid passionate about right now? skateboarding? dance? the list is endless...)

For adults/families: updated family portrait, updated couples portrait, best friend portrait

As always...here's the fine print! Sessions must be paid in full to book and hold your spot. Because this is a charitable event, the fee is non-refundable. Should you need to cancel, you can transfer your session fee to a friend or family. Please plan to arrive at least 5-10 minutes prior to your session time and be dressed and ready for your portrait session. No refunds will be given for no-shows or late arrivals. In the event of a late arrival, we will do everything in our power to fit you in, if time allows. In the event of rain or other inclement weather, sessions will be rescheduled on July 15 or July 21.

“You can cut all the flowers but you cannot keep Spring from coming.” 
― Pablo Neruda

Spring is officially here! Everything is turning green again and flowers are beginning to bloom...it's time to shed our layers and get outside for some much needed vitamin D!

I'm excited about all of my upcoming sessions, meeting new clients, and reuniting with returning clients.

In the meantime...enjoy a sneak peek of this lovely family session!

early morning mini sessions {oak park, il}

I normally like to write or muse about recent work or other points of interest, but since I'm still trying to catch up with my client work...I'm afraid I've got no witticisms to lay out for you. It's time to share some sneak peeks from a couple of recent mini sessions. 

I hope everyone is enjoying this amazing weather!

sunset photo sessions {riverside, il}

I'm finalizing my galleries from the weekend of October 22 & 23, including 2 lovely family sessions in beautiful Riverside. I'm excited to get caught up on editing and looking forward to delivering so many wonderful family galleries!

fall photo minis are in full swing...

September started out with a bang...back to school time for the boys & weekends full of wonderful clients for me. It's been a whirlwind and that's just how I like it.

After a few family sessions and a wedding shoot, we took last weekend off! Me, Jeff, the boys, and Stella spent the weekend in Michigan. With 30 sessions on the books for October (and more in the queue), I felt the need to take a few days to rejuvenate. Fall is the most wonderful time of the year & I want to be ready for it!

But first...here are a few snippets from the past couple of weeks. See you back here in October!

have you booked your fall mini session?

“What good is the warmth of summer, without the cold of winter to give it sweetness.” 
― John Steinbeck, Travels with Charley: In Search of America

Most people don't want to think about it today, but Fall is just around the corner. I know...the truth hurts.

I finally made myself sit down and look at the calendar so that I could release Fall mini session dates. Mini sessions are great for anyone who wants an updated photo, but doesn't necessarily need a full 1 or 2 hour session. 

Sessions will be held outdoors, at a location to be determined. Most sessions will be in or near Oak Park. Due to several requests, we are also planning at least 1 day of sessions in locations near Riverside and 1 day in Millennium Park.

Too many choices? I'm happy to chat with you to help you sort out what type of "look" you want and help determine the best location for your shoot.

All mini sessions will include:

30-45 minute session  |  10-15 edited, high res image files  |  print release

Cost per session: $200

Here's the best part: if you book and secure your session by August 15, you will receive your choice of 5 additional image files OR an 8x10 print. Awesome, right?
