Why I am passionate families
As a mother of two daughters, I can relate with all of my fellow parents, as we consider how important our families are to us.
Our children and furry family members are our treasures!
What is my investment?
Your Portrait Experience is $490, which covers your entire sitting.​ You also get to enjoy your $200 credit, toward the purchase of your portrait prints. At our reveal session, you can decide which collection you would like to purchase: fine art prints, portfolio boxes, and custom art enlargements for your wall. Our flexible pricing structure allows you to choose exactly what you desire.
What does the $490 include?
-
CONSULTATION - to discuss your vision for how you want to be photographed and coach you on what to wear/wardrobe styling.​
-
ACCESS TO STUDIO WARDROBE - you have unlimited access to our studio closet of couture gowns and other fun accessories if you wish to wear them.
-
PORTRAIT SESSION - your 1-hour magazine-style Portrait experience with Jennifer, in our Evanston studio.
-
REVEAL & ORDERING SESSION - Use your $200 portrait credit during your in-person session (in our studio, your home, or via video) to look at the 20-30 Portraits we have created for you. At this session, we will discuss the Portrait to use for the gallery exhibit, and place your order for more images. A la carte portraits are $200 and collections of eight or more start at $1290. The more photographs you purchase, the more you save.
-
HAIR & MAKEUP - If you care for a professional makeover on your Portrait session date, I can schedule my professional Stylist to join us for an additional fee.
What if I would like to bring home prints?
Absolutely! When you see the 20-30 stunning images we have created for you, you will probably want them all! Our fine art providers create museum quality matted prints for our clients, and these are $200 each. You can also save by purchasing albums and collections. The more you buy, the more you save. Our packages with 8 images start at $1290 + tax and go up from there. We do take credit cards and offer payment plans as well. Each Portrait comes hand-in-hand with the digital negative, for you to cherish forever.

TELL ME ABOUT YOUR PRODUCTS FOR SALE - We offer beautiful products to store and display your new photographs, including matted prints, albums, portfolio boxes, and wall art. My most popular item is a glass-front eco-leather box and handcrafted, which sits on your dresser, mantel, or coffee table to preserve your new fine art prints. It's like a living frame, allowing you to easily change out your Portrait displayed in the front window.
Where will my Portrait take place?
My natural light portrait studio is near downtown Evanston, in the Noyes Cultural Arts Center:
Horizon Photography
927 Noyes St, studio 211
Evanston, IL 60201 USA
What days are available?
We have available sessions during the week, and select Saturdays, all by appointment. Availability is first come first served. On your consultation call with Jennifer, she will share the next available dates and make sure to find an opening that works for you.
I'm not photogenic, is that okay?
Whoa, stop right there, Beauty! I simply don't believe in "photogenic." It's my job as the photographer to make you look and feel amazing! And lucky for you I am a trained master at making women of all ages, shapes and sizes look stunning in photographs.
What will I wear?
Following our consultation conversation, I will create a 'Style Guide' designed specifically for you. From here, you select your wardrobe choices, and we plan your portrait session.
​
In our studio, we have a collection of over 50 dresses and gowns, or you can go with a business look, or be casual in jeans. You can wear a fancy cocktail dress or yoga pants... you can even wear lingerie. There are no rules, this is an experience tailored-made for you.
Can I include my partner, child, pet, or other family?
Certainly! You can definitely include loved ones in your Portrait session. Part of your story is the people (and furry pets) you love. So if you want to include your loved ones, the more the merrier. And you also have total permission to make this photoshoot just about YOU! (Additional hair and make-up styling is $125 per person, if needed).
Do you retouch my photographs?
All images that are created in-camera are retouched just enough to reveal optimal color tones, shadows and highlights, skin quality, and wardrobe styling. Through professional hair & makeup artistry, use of professional cameras and lenses, studio lighting, and post-production editing, your pictures will show you at your VERY best!
