The Studio Series is a collection of limited-time mini sessions created in our Streamwood studio. Instead of one standard portrait setup, each Studio Series option is built around a specific look, theme, or creative set.
Some sessions are simple and clean. Others are more dramatic and artistic. The goal is to make it easy to update portraits, photograph costumes or activities, create wall-worthy images, or try something different without committing to a full custom creative session.
WHAT IS THE STUDIO SERIES?
The Studio Series is a collection of limited-time mini sessions created in our Streamwood studio. Instead of one standard portrait setup, each Studio Series option is built around a specific look, theme, or creative set.
Some sessions are simple and clean. Others are more dramatic and artistic. The goal is to make it easy to update portraits, photograph costumes or activities, create wall-worthy images, or try something different without committing to a full custom creative session.
These sessions are a more affordable alternative to a longer custom session and a simple way to get the specific images you want.
A different set each month

White Set
Offered multiple times a year this set is clean, simple, and timeless. The White Set is perfect for dancers, athletes, kids, headshots, and updated portraits. This option works especially well for multiple costumes because you can book multiple short sessions.

Red Set
Bold, dramatic, and high-impact. The Red Set is ideal for dancers, performers, seniors, and anyone who wants images with energy and attitude.

Black Set
Classic, dramatic, and polished. The Black Set creates strong portraits with a more refined studio look.

Rain Set
A dramatic creative session using controlled indoor rain and professional lighting. Perfect for dancers, athletes, cheerleaders, gymnasts, seniors, and performers who want powerful images with movement and intensity.

Family Set
Throughout the year, new Studio Series sets may be added for families, seasonal portraits, dancers, athletes, and other creative ideas.

Theme Set
I take the creative liberty to to build a set that is something fun and different. It can be anything from a snowy set to a one off design that is only used once.
How the white set works
The White Set is designed to be simple, flexible, and easy to book. Sessions are booked in 10-minute time slots, with one outfit or costume per session.
Book multiple back-to-back sessions for multiple looks or costumes.
- 10-minute session
- One costume or outfit
- Book multiple sessions
- Great for dancers, athletes, kids & simple portraits
Premium Creative Sets
Some Studio Series sets are more involved and are priced differently than the White Set. Premium sets may include more elaborate lighting, specialty effects, creative styling, longer session times, or a more dramatic finished look.
These sessions are ideal when you want images that feel less like a quick portrait update and more like a finished creative piece.
Premium sets include the rain, snow, family and some creative sets depending on the complexity of the set.
