Diversey Natural Area in Lincoln Park has quickly become one of my favorite locations to shoot Fall sessions - particularly in the morning light. There’s something magical about this spot—the huge, isolated tree standing proudly on its own, the soft prairie grasses catching the early light, and the winding path that makes for beautiful compositions. It’s a place that feels calm, golden, and effortlessly photogenic, making it the perfect backdrop for capturing those cozy fall moments - see for yourself.

After my busiest Fall season ever, I did not want to miss the chance to share images from my 2023 mini sessions. These 15-minute Fall sessions as my most requested service and they tend to book very fast. Families love the ease of getting in and out, taking traditional family photos, and including a few minutes for candids and play for a good combination of images. I usually host them at two locations during an October weekend, and this year we held them first at Montrose Harbor and then at Diversey Natural Area.
