Deciding where to take holiday photos in Chicago is as important as choosing the right photographer. You and your loved ones are the subjects but the background gives context to viewers. Are you looking for an outdoor outing style
family photoshoot? If so, then local parks, botanical gardens, and beaches are the place to begin. A mixture of posed portraits and candid snapshots of the kids playing is traditional. Ask your photographer if the dog can come along, too. Four legged family members should always be included when possible.
Winter photography can complicate matters since
outdoor photography gets difficult. Unless you're dressed for the weather it's time to bring the shoot indoors. Fortunately, there are thousands of photo studios in the Windy City where you can sit with studio lighting for a successful shoot. Factory lofts, with their large windows and exposed brick walls, are ideal as they are customizable. A few backdrops, accessory lights, and props and you can create any scene for family holiday photos.
