Leanne wanted a quick session at the Chicago Christkindlmarket to capture a baby reveal for the family holiday card.

The market did half the work for us. String lights, wooden booths, the smell of mulled wine in the air, that kind of soft chaos that makes any photo feel like it was pulled from a holiday movie.

We caught the baby's first "pics" with the ultrasound prints, a few warm portraits in between, and the kind of frames that turn a card into something people actually keep.

Some announcements deserve more than a flat lay. This one got Christmas in Chicago.
