NEW!
This activity was designed for the sole purpose of getting you into nature to hit pause for 90 minutes.
NOTE: This is not a city tour. The goal of this outing is to escape the skyscrapers, traffic and sounds of the urban environment without having to leave the city. We will be immersed in some type of urban nature the entire 90 minutes.
See this outing as an opportunity to take a break from your routine and stress to immerse and explore one of Chicago’s important nature areas with your camera / smartphone. You’ll be guided through a few steps before beginning to take photos that will provide you the tools to be more purposeful in your photography. It’s relaxing, fun and surprising!
Return clients of this tour will experience a different nature location each time. An excellent motivation to see Chicago’s various natural areas!

Chicago is third largest city in the US and landlocked in the Midwest region with skyscrapers and industry so you might not think “nature” when Chicago comes to mind. You might be surprised to learn it’s located directly on the North American major bird migration path as well as being a major throughway between the Great Lakes and the Mississippi River. We have dozens of beaches and bike/run/walk paths along Lake Michigan’s lakefront, nature preserves, bird sanctuaries, parks with skyline views and more!

TIP: This is a walking photography tour, not a technical workshop. To benefit you the most it is advised you understand the basics of photography such as ISO, aperture, shutter speed and other settings on your camera prior to your tour. This is a perfect opportunity to put those lessons to practice in an urban setting.
