Holiday Family Sessions
This page is for appointments for the months of Sept-Dec 2024 only.
LIMITED MINIS
Due to our high demand for holiday sessions, we are offering limited mini sessions this year.
For these appointments, we will have 1 photographer and 1 assistant to help wrangle children and ensure your photos come out amazing!
Mini’s are great for families who are looking for a quick beautiful family photo update with our professional photographer team and can show up ready to shoot.

Outdoor sessions take place at our chosen Libertyville area park. We purposefully choose locations that have an easy parking and pretty landscape that compliment our photography style.
If you are requesting an alternative location, we are only able to accommodate these requests Monday - Thursday until the end of the year.
Studio sessions take place in our Libertyville home studio (location sent upon paid reservation deposit).
Mini sessions will take place only on Dec 1st and we have limited availability. The theme this year will be a white studio holiday theme with movable white flocked trees and white drapery (example photos to be posted by mid-November).
