I spent all day today putting together this year’s holiday setup, and I’m so happy with how it turned out! I’m especially loving the new couch. I think it’s going to be such a beautiful addition to my studio decor.
Holiday Mini Sessions will take place on November 7 at my Long Grove studio — one day only!
I’ll have a limited number of spots left, so if you’re hoping to update your family photos for the holidays, don’t wait too long to book. Once the spots are filled, that’s it for this year!
