Hold your birthday photoshoot in Chicago

Chicago is one of the most diverse cities in the country when it comes to scenery. So when planning a birthday photoshoot, why not take advantage of this? Are you more of an outdoorsy individual and enjoy green spaces with trees and the lake at your side? Chicago parks offer endless opportunities for charming outdoor birthday photography.
What if you want something urbane, set in your favorite restaurant or loft venue? That's very easy to do, complete with a background that tells a strong lifestyle narrative to viewers about your exciting life in the big city. Let's talk about Chicago birthday photo shoots and how to hold a successful one!

The best places to do a birthday photoshoot in Chicago

First you need to find yourself a photographer to take photos for your birthday photo shoot. Cell phone selfies aren't going to cut it; a good professional photographer provides high megapixel cameras with fast aperture lenses for creative blur and rich colors. They will also have plenty of experience to share on the best places and times for photo shoots. Knowing that the Golden Hour light is strongest at a particular time in your favorite park will go a long way towards coming back with images you're happy with.
Look into places that are meaningful for you, like your favorite restaurants. Or maybe you simply want a photographer present at your birthday party. Images of you and your favorite people celebrating and taking on fun poses will be treasured for a lifetime.
Birthday photographs are also a celebration of oneself. The turning of a new year, a new life milestone. You'll be able to look back at yourself with a smile as the years progress. Seeing how much you've changed and eager for the next birthday to arrive. Birthday photo shoots make a birthday something special since as the years progress they may feel less special to us. Certainly nowhere near as magical as one felt when we were children. But holding a birthday photo shoot brings a bit of that charm and magic back on our personalized yearly holiday!

Rooftop birthday photo shoot venues in Chicago

Rooftop venues are a great place to hold a birthday photo shoot. Restaurants, bars, and lounges are all over the rooftops of Chicago skyscrapers. They are available for reservation for private events like birthdays, photo shoots, and other private events. Not only are rooftop locations beautiful but they help place the location in the minds of viewers. One look at that world-famous skyline from the top of a roof and people will know you had your birthday in Chicago!
