The MORTON ARBORETUM

Capture your family's memories against the beautiful, natural backdrop of The Morton Arboretum during these exclusive mini sessions. Surrounded by gorgeous trees and golden light, this beautiful setting offers a picture-perfect environment for vibrant outdoor portraits. Please note that while the photography session is booked directly through me, clients are responsible for paying the Arboretum's standard entrance fee upon arrival. It is the perfect opportunity to turn your photo shoot into a memorable day out exploring the scenic grounds!

DANADA equestrian center

Capture the magic of autumn with my mini sessions at the scenic Danada Equestrian Center. Whether we shoot along the elegant, white gravel paths, against a rustic barn or out in the open fields, this location offers a stunning backdrop that perfectly showcases the vibrant colors of the season. It is a fantastic, picturesque setting for capturing warm, candid family moments wrapped in classic Midwest fall beauty.

DOWNTOWN wheaton

Embrace a modern look with my downtown mini sessions, happening during the gorgeous morning hours. The stylish urban setting provides a unique, architectural backdrop for your photos, offering a beautiful change of pace from traditional nature portraits. By shooting in the morning, you will enjoy the best light of the day and completely skip the hassle of pesky outdoor bugs or crowded streets. It is the perfect, quick way to capture fresh, energetic images of your family before heading off to enjoy the rest of your weekend!

studio mini sessions

New this year! Bring your loved ones to my garage studio for timeless family portraits on a clean white backdrop. By moving indoors, you can completely skip the stress of unpredictable weather and need for bug spray while enjoying a comfortable, controlled setting. It is also a fantastic session option if you are just looking to get some updated solo and sibling photos of the kids. All you need to do is show up in clean, simple outfits, and I will handle the rest, capturing classic, high-end images that are perfect for framing.

Please note that exact session locations and times are subject to change based on weather conditions, venue availability, or unexpected environmental changes. Because I always prioritize the safety, lighting, and visual quality of your photos, I may adjust the specific spot on-site to ensure you get the absolute best results for your portraits. You will be notified immediately of any adjustments prior to your session time.
