A TIMELESS HOLIDAY TRADITION IN LINCOLN PARK, CHICAGO
The BELIEVE SessionS
The holidays are filled with little moments of magic — the sound of carols in the background, the sparkle in a child’s eyes, the warmth of being together as a family. At Annie Steele Studio, my goal has always been to preserve those fleeting moments in a way that feels elevated, authentic, and timeless.
That’s why I’m so excited to bring back The BELIEVE Sessions this November.
Forget the mall lines, the rushed photos, and the awkward “cheese” smiles. When you step into our historic corner studio, you’ll find a calm, beautiful space filled with soft holiday music and an atmosphere designed to feel like an editorial storybook.
We’ll begin with portraits of your children (and yes, this year you can add in a family photo too!). Then comes the moment of wonder — Santa enters quietly, and the magic unfolds naturally.
Every child reacts differently: some light up with joy, others are shy or simply in awe. Whatever unfolds, I’ll capture those reactions with care. These sessions are about documenting your child’s genuine experience of holiday wonder, not staging it.
The name comes from what these sessions are truly about:
✨ Believing in the magic of childhood
✨ Believing in the beauty of tradition
✨ Believing that holiday portraits can be both timeless and heartfelt
This isn’t about cheesy props or quick snapshots. It’s about giving your family a meaningful holiday tradition to return to year after year.
📅 Session Date: Sunday, November 16
🎟 VIP Booking Opens: Saturday, October 11 at 9:00am
📍 Location: Annie Steele Studio, Lincoln Park
Spots are very limited, and once they’re gone, they’re gone.
A Holiday Tradition Worth Keeping
The BELIEVE Sessions are more than just photos — they’re an experience your family will remember long after the season ends. When you look back at these images years from now, you’ll remember not just how it looked, but how it felt.
✨ A timeless holiday tradition, preserved beautifully. ✨
