Choosing Your Location

Besides my set mini sessions, the location for your session is entirely up to you! If you have a specific location in mind, I can’t wait to hear about it! Otherwise, I have several favorite spots all over the Chicagoland area that I’m always happy to recommend based on the look you are going for.

Depending on the time of the year, most of my clients prefer to do their family sessions outside (insert fall as being the MOST popular). Whether you want greenery, flowers, urban-look, or even the beach, the great outdoors gives us SO many options.

It is important to note that for outdoor sessions, we may not determine our exact location until the week of our session as we watch weather and I check the current conditions.

However, your home can also provide a perfect and memorable backdrop for you too!

I’m able to photograph you in your home as is or can even set up a mini studio. This works really well for milestone sessions like birthdays and those classic photos that show your family’s personalities.

Or if you have a fun idea, outing, or party that means something special to your family, I’m always open to shooting on location pretty much anywhere!

Though it may seem like a minor detail, the location of your photos can set the whole scene to your session. What kind of photos do you want hanging on your walls? And sometimes, it’s nice to switch it up a bit too. Consider your home if all of your family shoots have been outside or document a fun family outing!

We will chat about the look you are going for and decide the best location for your family together!
