ABOUT
JOYFUL GRACE
"At Joyful Grace Photography & Events, our mission is to use our gifts and talents to lift others up, while helping them find the joy and grace in all of life's moments- from the mundane to the most thrilling... and everything in between."
Founding Party Like A Princess, LLC in 2012, sister-duo Angelica and Olivia have spent the last twelve years carefully crafting and leading Chicago's Original Elite Character Performance Team. During this time, their strengths as a team became even more evident, and they realized that there was a whole new area of skillsets to explore together.
We're so glad you're here, and we can't wait to meet you! Who are we? Great question...
