Naperville Family Mini Session

WHEN & WHERE?

2025 Fall Mini Sessions are spread throughout the season as we have availability.

The next openings are on Sept 20-21 at Cantigny Park! If you’ve been there before then you know how cool it is. We can go to new spots with you this year or favorite old ones too.

Then, after the leaves change we’ve got Saturday October 18th at the tried and true St James Farm for fall foliage, prairie grasses, black barn doors, and white farm fences.

Finally a unique new location is opening up! I’ll be on the Lincoln Park Boardwalk in Chicago on Sunday October 19!  Expect fall colors, prairie grasses, ponds, the “honeycomb” structure and Chicago skylines! I can’t wait!
