Why Montrose Beach for Chicago Skyline Photos
As a Chicago family photographer, Montrose Beach is one of my favorite locations because it offers three distinct backdrops in one spot:
✨ Chicago skyline views with the city as your backdrop
✨ Beach and Lake Michigan waterfront scenes
✨ Walking trails with natural settings and fall foliage
For families who want iconic Chicago skyline family photos with flexibility, Montrose Beach delivers.
Mini Sessions Done Differently
Unlike most Chicago mini sessions where every family gets the same spot on repeat, I let families choose their backdrop. Even in 20 minutes, your session feels personal - not cookie-cutter.
This family chose the skyline and got the most gorgeous pink twilight skies as the sun set behind the city. The soft light and glowing backdrop created dreamy Chicago skyline family photos you simply can't get earlier in the day.
20 Minutes, 50+ Photos (No Gatekeeping)
My mini sessions promise 15 edited images minimum. This family got over 50 photos because that's how many beautiful moments we captured.
I don't gatekeep your photos. If it's beautiful and captures your family authentically, it's yours - no arbitrary limits, no upselling.
