If you are still unable to get your photo with the Easter Bunny, you can have the Easter Bunny hold a framed photo of your child(ren) and even put a special greeting to them on the bottom in pretty colored framing. It isn’t the same as having them sit on his lap or stand next to him but would still preserve the memory for this lost quarantine/social distancing year. These are all digital and can be printed.
If you would like your Easter Bunny Greeting, please email me your favorite photo (taken by me or not) and fill out the ORDER FORM so I can send the invoice to you. The Easter Bunny Greeting is only $5 by itself and $8 for a personalized framed greeting. Choose text and frame color of your choice. Contact me if you would like a print sent to your home.
All orders guaranteed within a few hours of payment received up to 8pm. Orders received after 8pm will be sent the next day.
Contact me with any questions at all! Erika@justpeachyphotog.com or 224-801-1680. Thank you!
Christmas is so different this year because we won’t be able to do some traditions we are used to or see people we normally celebrate with. We have to connect through Facetime and Video Chats which is such a wonderful privelege that we have but still takes away from a special time. I’m sure like myself, many of you are doing everything you can to make the holiday as normal as possible. I know some neighborhoods had Santa drive by neighborhoods.
Since we are in Covid Tier 3 in the Chicagoland area, I’m offering some digital holiday treats for my clients. I had some beautiful backdrops ready for holiday photos and it just didn’t work out. I am available for outdoor sessions though and some clients are doing that this year. If you would like to purchase your own Digital Holiday Greeting below, please email me your favorite photo (taken by me or not) and fill out the ORDER FORM so I can send the invoice to you. Prices available on order form and start at $6. Client must provide photo for digital artwork.
Invoices will be sent as soon as possible when order is received. Orders will be sent with a digital gallery within about 24 hours of payment received.

Our 6th Annual FREE Halloween Mini Sessions for Charity 2020 event is coming soon! We will be donating nonperishable food and household items to the Palatine Food Pantry like we did the last few years but will be doing things a little differently because of the crazy pandemic going on! I’m so excited to offer another FREE Mini Session after a year with less mini sessions and excited about all of the wonderful things we were able to donate last year! Thank you again to all that participated in our fun event!
Don’t miss out on this fun event and get a beautiful memory of your child in costume. It has been a crazy year but we don’t want to leave all of our special memories and experiences behind.
Saturday, October 24th (October 25th will be the raindate for this event) from 10:00am to 12:30pm (bold times below are available and times in parenthesis are pending)
Location: Forest Preserve/Outdoor Area in Palatine — TBD (due to Covid-19 sessions will be held outdoors)
CHOOSE ONE SPACE PER CHILD PARTICIPATING PLEASE. FILL OUT A SEPARATE FORM FOR EACH CHILD PARTICIPATING TOO.
The 5 minute mini session space is FREE with a 3 item donation or cash donation. The Palatine Food Pantry is getting the donation and there is a list of items they need on their website here. There are 3 ways to donate this year as I will not be collecting directly to keep safe at this time.
Ways to Donate:
1.) Bring your own 3 items to the food pantry and take a photo while there giving it to them. Email me the photo or tag Just Peachy Photography in the photo on Facebook or Instagram. They are only open at certain days and times and contact them to ask about their Covid-19 policies.
2.) Send items to food pantry on Amazon (they have a gift registry but not many items so just use that address and send there directly). Non food items would probably need to be chosen for this option. Min. of 3 items.
3.) Send a monetary donation (min. of $10) to the food pantry. This would have to be a photo of check emailed to me directly. I know you can choose not to send it but I will trust that you will so please do the right thing.
*** If you have another idea on how to help the community, present it to me and I’m happy to consider other options.
The free session is for any children between the ages of 2 months and 12 years old. Each family can reserve one space PER CHILD participating in the event and will get 2-3 proofs for each child in an online gallery. Children will be photographed individually but there is no limit to how many children you can sign up for the event. No sibling images will be taken for this event due to time restraints and nature of the event. All children participating in our FREE event must be in their Halloween costumes. The backdrop will be natural in nature with a few fall props (lay bales, pumpkins, etc.).
All prints, digital files and custom products are sold separately at discounted pricing for the special promotional event. Pricing starts at $25. There is no obligation to make a purchase. Any purchased digital images will be available by digital download from our website in color and black and white with a full print release. Please note that this is last year’s set up for our mini sessions and our backdrop/set up for this year will be different!
Contact the studio at Erika@justpeachyphotog.com or 224-801-1680 for details! Sign up for the event by clicking on the graphic button below. Please fill out one form for each child participating!
And here are some sweet images from last year’s event.
Fall Family Mini Sessions 2020 are $275 and are meant for families that just want a few updated portraits for their holiday cards or for their home. They are very quick and are not as customized to each family as our private petite and full sessions offered to our clients. Clients will fill out a short questionnaire to help me get to know your family a bit before the session and let me know if you prefer more “posed” or more “lifestyle” images or a mix of both but we will not be able to get the same mix of images we would get in a private petite or full session.
The location will be in the Northwest Suburbs of Chicago near our studio in Palatine. Usually the mini sessions are scheduled in Arlington Heights, Palatine, Schaumburg, or Barrington. Locations will be determined closer to the event but will always have some fall colors if available and fallen leaves.
Details: Price includes 15 minute mini session, 6 digital files in color and black and white with full print release (can print unlimited copies in any size for personal use only), up to 5 subjects (each additional subject of immediate family only is $15–sorry, no extended family for this event).
In addition to the great savings this event offers, participants will receive 20% all of our printed custom products such as wall art, albums and holiday cards! Digital images will be available by digital download from our website in color and black and white.

If you cannot make it to your session, you may get someone else to take your place. Deposits are nonrefundable due to the nature of the event and limited spaces. Once you have contacted us with your preferred time, I’ll email you a link for the contract and Covid-19 disclosure. The payment can be made online after the contract has been submitted.
Due to Covid-19 all clients must sign a Covid-19 disclosure in the contract. Just like other sessions this year we will be doing things a bit differently. Please note the differences below.
1.) Photographer will be using a long lens and will not be closer than 6 feet from clients (usually further away). 2.) Clients have choice if photographer will wear mask during session. 3.) Clients MUST bring their own blankets if they would like one used during their session. 4.) Minimal props for kids to sit on will be used in the sessions. They are wood and will be sprayed with Lysol in between sessions/families. Client can choose to not use in session. 5.) Clients must wait at least 20 feet away before their session and wait until family before them has completely left. A mask is optional but recommended.
I may be adding other rules if I see fit but this is it for now.
BONUS for 2020 — Share this event on social media (Facebook or Instagram) AND book by September 21st and get 2 FREE digital files with your session! That is 8 total! You must prove you shared the event publically. You will not receive a referral credit as well if someone books from your shared post.
***No Just Peachy Photography “credits” can be used for this event until after the $275 payment has been received since this is a special event and already is discounted. Please contact Erika at Erika@justpeachyphotog.com OR 224-801-1680 for more details!

I hope everyone is being safe and making the most of this extra time together. I know my family has had good moments and bad but we’ve enjoyed long walks together, baking, art projects, cooking new meals, movie nights, game nights, video chats with family and so many other things. Even though there are some hard moments and I feel even busier than before helping my 3 older children with e-learning and keeping the little ones entertained without going anywhere, it is a blessing in so many other ways to get this break from our normal busy lives where we are always on the go. It is a new normal for now and we are adapting and making adjustments as we go. I hope the same for you and your families!
Just Peachy Photography is finally able to operate again for outdoor sessions as of May 1st, 2020. The studio will be closed until further notice per the shelter at home order in IL. I’m so excited to be booking sessions again and even though these are limited and have social distancing measures in place, I know we will have fun!
One trend that was started amongst our time in quarantine has been porch sessions. These are family and children sessions right on your front porch. They don’t have to be fancy but I know a lot of people mentioned that they really enjoyed dressing up and having something to put on their calendars. So you can commemorate this time in your lives. It is one that won’t be forgotten and it will be a time of stories for future generations. Wouldn’t it be great to have portraits taken at home where this is all happening to us?
Porch Session Details:
Session will take place near sunset on your front porch. Sessions will last about 10 minutes and will include 7-10 edited digital files in color and black and white. Sessions are $300 for a private porch session. Available for families within 10 miles of Palatine, IL or Hawthorn Woods, IL.
Find a few people in your neighborhood (within 5 minutes of each other) to join in and save!
2 Families in same neighborhood: $250 each family
3 Families in same neighborhood: $200 each family
5 Families in same neigborhood $150 each family
More than 5 families in same neighborhood $100 each family
Sessions will be photographed with a long lens and at least 10 feet away from clients. Families must sign a portrait contract and make nonrefundable payment before session is officially booked. Photographer is happy to help with styling both clothing for family and porch background if needed.
Here are a few more beautiful examples of portraits taken from a porch session:
Contact the studio at Erika@justpeachyphotog.com or 224-801-1680 to book your porch session or to coordinate your neighborhood session. Limited session times available for May and early June right now.
