Autumn Anxiety is a thing. Really, I'm not sure if it is, but I would like to think that it is. And if it's not, well that's a new Lyla Lane Photography trademarked diagnosis!!

Really, I have always LOVED the fall, the early fall - the changing colors, apples and pumpkins, Halloween costumes, cute new "Hans Solo" boots, etc. But I always have this longing for summer to never end too. I know that after those last few leaves decide to float gently to the ground - or get ripped off by a blustery wind - that I'm in for it - that is being IN-side for the next several months. There is a reason that I like to think of Chicago as Summer's Favorite City. You survive those winters so you can LIVE all summer. I guess I just don't want it to end.

But THIS fall is going to be different. I am not inviting Autumn Anxiety into my life. Why?!?! Because I plan to be so busy taking absolutely stunning photographs of my friends, family and clients that I won't have a moment to dwell on how chilly that breeze is turning!

So without further adieu, Lyla Lane Photography is pleased to announce the arrival of Fall Sessions and Fall Mini Sessions for 2018!

What are Minis, you ask? Minis are a great way to try out Lyla Lane Photography and get a few gorgeous, key portraits of the ones you love. They are 25-30 minutes and will deliver 10 gorgeous images from which you can choose. They are really perfect for knocking that Holiday Card photo off your to-do list and capturing a few extra snuggly moments with your favorite people. I do have to mention that Minis are NOT a full session at a discounted price. Your session will be amazing and will provide a great variety of people, poses and candids, but they move very quickly and are more focused on a few key images that we are trying to capture.

I also stress that there are a LIMITED NUMBER of MINIS. So get them fast because, like the colorful fall leaves, once they're gone, they're gone!

Don't worry though! Basic 1-hour Sessions with the option to purchase your Complete Gallery are also available for fall. A full session allows much more freedom in terms of us getting warmed up and you feeling your most comfortable in front of the camera. I love to focus on candid moments and the unique dynamics of what makes your family YOURS. Feel free to contact me for inquiries and availability.

I wish you an epic conclusion to your summer and the grace to embrace the winds of change come September.

May your hands always be busy
May your feet always be swift
May you have a strong foundation
When the winds of changes shift

May your heart always be joyful
May your song always be sung
And may you stay
Forever young

-Bob Dylan, "Forever Young"
