CHICAGO PHOTO TOUR SESSIONS WITH JULIE (June 19-23)

Your Chicago Photo Tour Experience:Chicago Photo Tour

  • You’ll benefit from countless hours of scouting and scouring and hunting for the most photogenic locations to shoot in.
  • You’ll learn about and photograph great secret spots, the best architecture, public art, and the most beautiful park areas.
  • You’ll enjoy different tours which maximize varied areas of the downtown.
  • You’ll get to review, practice, and perfect your previously learned photo techniques.

Why you should visit Chicago:

  • Chicago invented the skyscraper (you will be blown away by how many amazing tall buildings there are).
  • Chicago has 40 miles of gorgeous parkland along the lake (which seems like an ocean since it is so big).
  • Besides the world’s friendliest people, Chicago is a cultural mecca –incredible art, architecture, scrumptious ethnic food. Yum!

To see how awesome Chicago is for photography, check out these example photos you will take along the 4 tour routes.

Logistics of the photo tours:

  • You can participate in 4 different group sessions (one per day) in 4 different downtown areas:
  • Each session will be a maximum of 8 people (a small group = wonderful learning environment).
  • Each session will be 4 hours long; the rest of the day you’ll have free time to explore this great city on your own.**
  • Each session will be approximately 2 miles of walking.
  • Your cost will be $100 per session, with a minimum of 2 sessions booked per person to participate ($200).
  • If you book 3 or 4 sessions, the cost drops to $75 per session (i.e. 3 sessions totals $225 and 4 totals $300).
  • Session choice will be first-come-first-served for whoever signs up first.
  • The tours will be over a Thursday/Friday/Saturday/Sunday or a Friday/Saturday/Sunday/Monday.
  • After each session I will guide the group to a classic Chicago eatery – this is optional, of course, but a fun way to bond with your fellow photographer participants (and extra bonus time for you to ask me about anything photography related!)

Testimonial that you will love these tours:

One of my past San Diego photo tour participants was actually the catalyst for this idea. After our tour in San Diego last year, she asked me if I would give her a photo tour next time I was in Chicago. Here is the result of our tour:

“ We learned so much...and really enjoyed seeing you again. As you know, we’ve been to Chicago countless times, but never really have gotten to ‘see’ it like we did on your tour that you specifically designed for us. I love the incredible photos we took and thanks again for being patient and explaining things in a way that enabled me to easily learn them. Can’t wait to do another session with you next time you come to Chicago!”

Are you in?

If you are interested, please email me ASAP! This fun experience won’t work unless enough people confirm their serious interest by May 5th. I'm offering this tour June 19-23 (June has the best weather and the best time to avoid the crowds).

Thank you so much! After I hear back from you I will keep you posted on further details.

I hope to see you in Chicago this June!

:) Julie
