Back to school and headshot happy hour events!
Hey, friends!
Well…after a fairly uneventful summer break, we’re slowly slipping back into routines over here.
Our summers have always been pretty laid back and routine: pool passes and several days a week at the pool, quick road trip to Texas to visit family, trips to various ice cream shops, and we typically finish summer with a long weekend in Michigan and Warren Dunes.
This summer was different. Three of us got pool passes but we didn’t even make it to the pool enough times to pay for those passes. We did make a very quick trip to Texas and got to see a few family members but not everyone. Sadly, we didn’t make it Michigan at all…we usually make it there at least 2 times. We did hit some ice cream shops though…we aren’t complete monsters!
It feels like this is just a natural transition from having “little” kids to having tweens/teens and I’m not sure how I’m feeling about it.
Time is strange…
Anyway…back to your regularly scheduled programming.
If you’ve been thinking about scheduling that headshot…now is the time! I’ll be hosting happy hours in September and November (potentially December).
Pricing starts at $150. Details and links 👇
And…my gal Sara Jean Stevens will be back to enhance your gorgeous face*! (only 2 spots with the option to add professional makeup/hair remaining for both dates!)

*Limited spots available for hair and makeup, additional fees apply

Hope to see you soon!
happy belated new year...
“We spend January 1st walking through our lives, room by room, drawing up a list of work to be done, cracks to be patched. Maybe this year, to balance the list, we ought to walk through the rooms of our lives...not looking for flaws, but for potential.”
― Ellen Goodman
Just a quick note to say thank you so much for another great year! I'm so grateful for all of my amazing clients, past and present.
I know that the new year usually brings talk of “new year, new me!” or any number of proclamations focusing on improving ourselves somehow. If that’s your thing, I will enthusiastically cheer you on! If you’re like me & have decided that resolutions aren’t your thing, I will applaud you with the same enthusiasm…and maybe we can grab a slice of pie? The point is…y’all are all great❤️

…and now that we’ve established how amazing you all are, let’s talk shop (I mean…this is my business blog so I’m gonna talk about business, ya know?)!
Have you been thinking about updating your headshot? What’s holding you back from doing so? Is it nerves, lack of time/inconvenient session times, or cost? I’d love to hear your feedback!
If you’re ready to get a session on the books, I’ve got several options for the new year.
Since January's weekend headshot date seemed to be a hit, I'm opening up another weekend date for Social Media Headshots. If you missed out on the January date, you can grab a weekend session in February! I’ve also added headshot dates for March and April, including some evening hours for those who can’t make it during the day…
The Social Media sessions are short & sweet (15 minutes)! If you are uncomfortable or need time to get comfortable in front of the camera, our regular session might be a better fit.
Up to 15 minutes in the studio | One look/One location | Includes 1 low-resolution, edited digital file* | $100/150
Question: What's the difference between Social Media 1 and Social Media Plus?
I'm glad you asked!
Social Media 1 includes one file, delivered in color and Social Media Plus includes 1 file, delivered in color AND b/w. Each session will include a gallery of images in which you will choose your favorite shot!

If you’re not quite ready to book but are looking for ways to support me right now, I’d love for you to leave me a google review…these go a long way in helping clients find me! (link below)
I look forward to the year ahead and seeing you in front of my camera soon!
spring is coming...are you ready?

Hi friends.
How are you?
Today is the day.
On this day last year, our lives were about to change in a way that I don't think many of us could have possibly imagined.
On this day last year, I spent the morning photographing a preschool full of beautiful children.
On this day last year, I walked into Costco for my normal supply run & was taken aback by the crowds of people who were filling up their carts with toilet paper and bottled water (still haven't figured out why folks were hoarding water but you do you...).
On this day last year, I picked my boys up from their afterschool program and was told that they had been advised to take home ALL of their belongings and anything they might need for the foreseeable future.
It's hard to imagine that a year has passed since this all began and yet...here we are.
Like many of you, I’ve spent the past 12 months navigating strange and unfamiliar waters. I've learned to be flexible with my time and energy even when I desperately want to give up from the exhaustion of trying to manage ALL THE THINGS.
But I'm still here, y'all. There are days when it feels like I'm hanging on by a thread but I am still hanging on!
My amazing clients (that's y'all!) have helped me get through this and I'm so thankful and grateful.
And because you all are the absolute best...you get first dibs on prime Fall 2021 session dates! These sessions fall during what is typically peak Autumn colors in Chicagoland.*
*I obviously cannot promise or predict the future...I have no personal intel on the comings and goings of Mother Nature but based on many years of shooting, these are the dates when colors tend to be the most beautiful.
Not ready to commit? No worries...my normal fall dates will roll out sometime in July/August & you'll be the first to know!
In addition to sharing these prime Autumn sessions, I have a few Spring sessions available including more Tiny Session School Portrait and Social Media Headshot sessions. Oh...don't forget about Motherhood sessions! I have a few openings for those as well
Don't see what you're looking for? Give me a shout (email, yo!) & we'll set something up!
I hope that everyone is doing well and staying safe and remaining hopeful…❤️

Last month, I partnered with Amy's Winehouse, in Forest Park, for a headshot happy hour event. It was such a fun event that I'm already scheming & planning to have another one! (Hint Hint, Amy...).
Amy was such an amazing hostess, the wine and food was delicious, and all the clients who joined us were lovely. I hope we can do another one soon!

This time around, I'm partnering with Amy's Winehouse in Forest Park, for a happy hour event. If you've never been to Amy's, you are missing out! Not only are the wine offerings delicious, but her small plates are amazing. The bacon wrapped dates are my favorite...give them a try when you stop in.
