Details:
Saturday, August 22nd, 2026
Indoor, natural light Wheaton studio
5-10 minute session assigned between 10am-11am

In thanksgiving for your time:
Every child will receive 2 complimentary black-and-white digital image files from their session. These will be delivered via an online gallery link within 6 weeks of your session date.
required for participation:
01
Arrive 5 minutes early
Please plan ahead, arrive a few minutes early, and be ready to enter the studio at your assigned time — sessions are short, back-to-back, and our studio rental time is limited, so I will not be able to accept late arrivals.
02
Dress from the Style Guide
To participate in this event, your child will be asked to wear clothing that is neutral, simple, and timeless. A visual Style Guide will be provided and we'll check in together to land on the right outfit before the day arrives. Communication via text or email will be important as we plan.
03
Grant permission for marketing use
As a participant in this event, you must be willing to grant Christi Lynn Photography permission to use any edited images of your child in marketing content — website, social media, and/or in print.
