2025 Fall Family Photography Sessions — Western Suburbs of Chicago
Fall is a beautiful season in the western suburbs, and it’s the perfect backdrop for timeless, high-quality family portraits. I'm thrilled to welcome back many of you (and meet new families) during this year’s Fall Family Sessions. Sessions book up quickly, so check your calendar and reserve your spot soon!
Mini Sessions and Full Sessions are both available and popular, so they sell out quickly. Families from Hinsdale, Oak Brook, Elmhurst, La Grange, Western Springs, and surrounding suburbs return year after year to capture these fleeting moments in a natural, beautiful way.
Whether you’re looking for updated portraits for holiday cards, heirloom wall art for your home, or a photography experience that your family will truly enjoy, these sessions are designed to deliver beautiful, lasting images.

FAQS
How will I see my images after my session?
I will be sending you a gallery link to view your images. When you receive your gallery link, you will be able to watch a slideshow with all of your images. At that point, you will be able to decide if you would like to purchase more images. All images are delivered via digital download.
Do I have to pre-purchase the full gallery upgrade at the time of booking?
Nope! To book, all that is required is $500 (mini session bookings) or a 50% retainer (1 hour sessions). Mini sessions include 3 digital images and $25 print credit. Deluxe sessions include 5 digitals and a $100 print credit. After reviewing your online gallery, you will have the opportunity to upgrade your package/purchase more images. If you choose to pre-purchase the mini session upgrade, you will save $50 and receive a $100 print credit to use in my new online store.
What happens if the weather doesn’t cooperate on my session day? I will be in touch! In the event of inclement weather, Sessions are usually called 3-4 hours prior to your scheduled session time. Regarding rescheduling, I am always very flexible. I also ask my families to remain reasonably flexible. For the many years I have been doing this, I’ve never had a problem finding an alternative date that works for both parties. Please note that sessions will only be rescheduled due to extreme wind, rain, or overly cold conditions (below 35 degrees) - all of which make beautiful imagery difficult to achieve. My goal is to deliver beautiful images to your family. All that being said, this is Chicago, so please dress accordingly for the weather! :-)
What type of products are included in the new MKP online store?
All products are hand-picked by me and feature items in many price points. I’ve only included my favorite labs which I know and trust. You can find albums, prints, hand-torn prints, mounted prints ready for framing, cards, canvas, and more.
