WELCOME TO MY SUMMER MINI & SURPRISE PROPOSAL SESSIONS!
Here, you’ll find everything you need to know — from pricing and what’s included, to what makes these sessions so special.
Whether you’re booking a sweet summer family session or planning a once-in-a-lifetime surprise proposal, this is the place to start. I’ll walk you through the process, help you feel fully prepared, and make sure the experience is as joyful as the photos themselves.
Let’s capture something real and timeless — the kind of moments you’ll want to hold onto forever.
SUMMER MINI SESSIONS
Short & sweet — filled with love and golden light
A 20-minute photography experience designed to capture genuine connection, soft light, and real emotions — without the time commitment of a full session. Perfect for busy families, couples, or anyone who wants beautiful photos with ease. These sessions are short, but full of meaning. You’ll walk away with timeless memories that feel like you — relaxed, natural, and real.
All sessions take place outdoors in the Downtown Chicago area, during the golden hour — that soft, dreamy light just before sunset.The exact location will be shared upon booking. Think gentle evening sun, natural backdrops, and space for kids (and grown-ups) to be themselves.
WHAT TO EXPECT:
I guide my mini sessions with a gentle flow that makes room for both the classic and the candid:
-First 5–7 minutes — Softly guided portraits: looking at the camera, gently posed, capturing everyone beautifully.
-Next 7–10 minutes — Natural connection: little moments between you, laughter, snuggles, eye contact, tiny details.
-Final few minutes — Movement & joy: walking together, twirling, running, hugging — whatever feels natural and fun.
No stiff posing. No pressure. Just you and your people, as you are — and a photographer who’s quietly capturing it all with love.
THESE MINI SESSIONS ARE A BEAUTIFUL FIT FOR:
-Families with young children
-Couples and engagements
-Maternity portraits
-Mama & me moments
-Just-because-you-deserve-it sessions
Whether it’s your first time in front of the camera or you do this every year — you’re welcome here.
You don’t need a full hour to create something meaningful. Mini sessions are focused, fun, and stress-free. You’ll be amazed at how much we can capture in just 20 minutes.
It’s not about perfection — it’s about presence. And that’s exactly what these sessions give you: real moments, real connection, real memories.

SURPRISE PROPOSAL SESSION
This is the moment your partner will never forget — and you’ll only live it once.
A surprise proposal is one of the most intimate, emotional, and life-changing chapters in your love story. Whether it’s on a quiet walk in your favorite park or during a “casual” couple shoot that turns into so much more, it deserves to be captured with care, heart, and a bit of magic.
They may suspect something… or not at all. But one thing is certain — when they say yes, the world shifts. And having those real, raw, joyful moments beautifully documented will be a gift you’ll both treasure forever.
WHY BOOK A PROPOSAL SESSION?
Because this isn’t just a photo. It’s their face when they realize what’s happening. It’s the tears, the laughter, the shaking hands, the hug that lasts longer than usual. These are once-in-a-lifetime emotions — and they deserve to be remembered.
And trust me — anyone who’s proposed to will tell you:“I’m so glad we have these photos.”
WHAT’S INCLUDED:
– 1 hour of photography coverage
– 50+ edited images (color correction + retouching)
– A surprise video gift capturing the highlights of your moment– One complimentary reschedule in case of bad weather
Want help planning the setup, timing, or location? I’ll be your behind-the-scenes partner to make it effortless and unforgettable.
Let’s create a moment your partner will relive forever — and a story you’ll both proudly share for years to come.
This is all about you
