Consider a Gift Certificate! Plus, tips to help creative small businesses.

I’m still here! Things are changing daily here in Chicago but we are now under “Shelter in Place” guidelines so I will not be able to photograph any sessions or events until April at the earliest. As a small business owner, documenting lives and creating family heirlooms is not only my life’s passion but my livelihood as well. As soon as permitted, I’ll be back and photographing! I’m still here for you, just from afar. I’m designing albums, taking & working on print orders and getting all kinds of website and back-end-of-business things done!

If you’d like to, consider purchasing a gift certificate to use in the future. Either for your own family or for someone you know. Know an expecting mama-to-be? What a great shower or baby gift! My gift certificates are available in any amount, never expire and may be used toward session fees or products. To purchase, click the link below and it will send me an email; just let me know the amount you’d like. You can also call to purchase over the phone - 608-438-9832.

10% of all gift certificate proceeds will be going to Alive Rescue.

Other ways to help small businesses:

Follow them on social media. Like, comment and share their posts.

Visit their website - web traffic helps too! If they have an online store, make a purchase.

Spread the word - referrals mean everything to small businesses.

Leave a google review.

Send a small business an encouraging message. Positivity helps!

Buy online from an artisan or store who can no longer attend fairs or operate under business-as-usual.

Spread Joy & Be Kind.

While nobody knows quite what lies ahead of us, I’m here to help support you. I intend to continue to share about sessions, products and services, in addition to tips, inspiration and joy whenever I can. Let me know how I can help YOU.

In the mean time, stay home! I whole-heartedly believe that while this is going to be tough on all of us, we’ll get through it all together. Much stronger than ever. Hunker down and come see me when this is all over. I’ll be welcoming you with open arms and giant bear hugs! Thank you for being such a vital part of my small business.
