What's the best day to rent a family photo shoot location in Chicago?
Saturdays are the most popular day for booking family photo shoot locations in Chicago. For those seeking a deal, consider booking Saturday and Sunday as these days are 13% cheaper on average.
Shoot family photos outdoors in Chicago Parks
Despite being one of America's largest cities Chicago is a fantastic place to create family photos outdoors. 8.5% of the City of Chicago is dedicated to park space, placing it in 13th place in the USA among other densely populated urban spaces.
The city's location along the shore of Lake Michigan means your family photos can include beaches, forests, train bridges, skyscrapers, and many more elements. All without having to book a single plane flight. So where to do a family photoshoot in Chicago?
Choosing pretty places to take family photos outdoors in Chicago
For such a dense urban city Chicago is truly blessed when it comes to outdoor scenery. Spots like Lincoln Park are as historic as they are beautiful. Conservatories, ponds, and benches create a relaxed family weekend ambience that's perfect for an outdoor photoshoot.
For a shady, secluded feel it's hard to beat the South Garden at the Art Institute of Chicago. Despite the proximity of nearby Michigan Avenue, the South Garden's sculptural fountain, flower planters, and low hanging trees create an idyllic oasis in the center of downtown.
Planning a family photo shoot with the Chicago skyline in the background
Chicago's iconic skyline is world famous for good reason. Your relatives will get a thrill out of seeing Willis Tower, The St. Regis Chicago, and other skyscrapers framing your family photos. Family photos in Chicago parks or along the lakefront aren't the only way to achieve this look, however. Many indoor photo studios and venues have windows aimed in precisely the right directions to tell a Chicago family story. Rooftop family sessions in the heart of downtown make it even easier to include just the right urban vibe.
One of the best places for family photos in Chicago with the skyline is Millennium Park. Located in the heart of the Loop district, the skyline is just one of several attractions in your vicinity. No Millennium Park family photo shoot would be complete without the Cloud Gate sculpture, either. And after your session, you're within easy walking distance of world-class dining, coffee shops, and Chicago's world-class rail network.
Holding a Chicago Family Photoshoot in Winter
Once temperatures start to drop you might want to consider an indoor photo session. Chicago photo studios offer ideal lighting, classic backdrops, and warm conditions. That way your family can shed the jackets and wear something light yet formal for the photo shoot.
The Windy City is infamous for its harsh winters. Even so, falling snow and gray skies add the perfect backdrop for a family photoshoot. Chilly weather also means bundling up in your favorite coats, sweaters, and scarves. Nicely illustrating events for a quiet lifestyle session downtown. Right before the snowball fight to break up the seriousness of it all!
