MINI PHOTO SESSIONS are offered on scheduled dates throughout the summer, fall and spring months. The sessions are held at various outdoor locations such as the beach and park in both the city and suburbs. They are a convenient alternative to a regular session. Mini sessions feature weekend shoot dates, scenic locations and a cost effective way to have a family photo session.

We are into our 20th Annual Mini Photo Sessions season. We hope to see you on one of these dates! Remember if these dates do not work, book a regular session in the studio, at your home or on-location. Call 847-729-4466 or email the studio to book your session.
