Have you chosen to home school this year? Just because you are home schooling doesn’t mean you have to miss out on school picture day! AWP has you covered!

I am setting up 4 days to start but will add more dates and times if needed. There are 2 week days for homeschooled children and 2 weekend dates for kids who are e-learning.

The sessions will be $50 for the first child plus $25 for each additional child. You will receive 1 digital image of your choosing for each child who is photographed. I will also include a sibling picture if you choose to have one taken. Additional poses will be available for purchase as well. I will also offer prints but you are not required to purchase any. Your digital image will come with full print rights. The $50 retainer fee will be due upon booking. This retainer fee will be applied to your balance. **You will only need to book one slot for your entire family. NOT one slot per child.

Please note: Your time slot is NOT reserved until you complete the full booking process which includes paying the retainer fee. Again, this fee is applied to your balance.

The sessions will be COVID safe. They will be 15 minutes long with a 15 minute break between sessions so that I can properly sanitize the studio. The pictures will be very simple and I will not supply any props. I am eliminating as much contamination as possible. You are welcome to bring signs or anything else you would like used. Adults must wear masks when in the studio. If your children are able to tolerate masks, I ask that they wear them when their pictures are not being taken. Please don’t bring extra people to the studio for your session unless absolutely necessary.

If you or any member of your family have run a fever or shown any symptoms of COVID 48 hours before the session, if you or any member of your family has had contact with someone who has tested positive or if any member of your family is awaiting results for COVID, I ask that you cancel your session and reschedule for a later date.

There are 3 dates and 3 options available.  Please READ before booking!  All mini sessions are $175 and all have a $75 retainer due upon booking.  Retainer must be paid within 24 hours or your spot will be re-opened. 

Option 1:  Winter Wonderland Minis – Saturday, November 2nd

This day is for kids ONLY!  Also recommended for young children only.   Kids will have fun in this simple snow setup.  I also have a Santa suit for a parent to wear so that the kids are not scared.   Pictures will just be of santas pants, gloves, etc.   This is a great option for PJs or any holiday clothing.

Option 2:  Classic Christmas – Sunday, November 3rd – SOLD OUT!

This setup can be kids only or you can include the entire family.

Option 3:  Classic Christmas Day #2  – Saturday, November 9th

Since no one was booking the wreath setup (even though it was my favorite) and I had 18 of the classic Christmas sell out in minutes, I decided to open up a 2nd day of the classic setup.

You can request a half or full session.  Half session is 30 minutes, includes 12 images for $300.  The full session is up to an hour, includes 20 images for $395.  You may also upgrade to the all-inclusive session that would include all of your images from a full session for $550.

Available Dates:

June 19 & 21

July 11, 18, 19

August 8 (Wauconda) & 24 (Cary) – 1 session left on each of these dates.

Summer Mini Dates:

Mini sessions will begin about 2-2.5 hours before sunset.  I will book these from sunset working backwards.  Mini sessions are 20 minutes, include 5 images for $200.  Additional images are always available for purchase.
