About this Event
A Sunday morning experience for women in Chicago.
Join Asta Malciute and Gabi (Noru Photography) for an intimate Sunday morning designed around meaningful connection, thoughtful conversation, and beautiful portraits in the heart of Chicago.
This is not your typical networking event. We’re creating a small, relaxed space where you can meet new women, connect beyond small talk, and enjoy a couple hours intentionally spent together in one of the most beautiful parts of the city.
What to Expect
11:00 AM | Coffee + ConnectionWe’ll meet at Blue Bottle Coffee (313 W Wolf Point Plaza, Chicago, IL) promptly at 11 AM. We’ll begin by getting settled and ordering your favorite coffee, matcha, or tea before getting to know one another.
We will set an intention to step into our most empowered selves and Asta will guide a few thoughtful conversation prompts to help us create genuine connections.
11:30 AM | Walk + Talk + PortraitsWe’ll head out together through the heart of Chicago and along the Chicago River.
As we walk and connect, Gabi will capture individual portraits against the Chicago backdrop. You’ll have the opportunity to be photographed in a way that feels authentic to you, whether you’re looking for new images for your business, LinkedIn, website, social media, or simply want to capture yourself in this season of life.
Around 1:00 PM | Wrap-Up
The experience is approximately two hours, so please plan to be available until around 1 PM.
What You’ll Leave With
• New, meaningful connections with women in Chicago

• A beautiful Sunday morning spent intentionally
• 3 professionally edited portraits by Gabi with Noru Photography

What to Bring
👗Come dressed as the woman you are becoming.
👗Choose something that makes you feel confident, comfortable, and like your best self. Something you feel really good wearing.
👗We recommend lighter, cohesive colors and minimal patterns to complement the Chicago backdrop. 1 or 2 (3 at the most) color outfits work the best.
👗If you want to be photographed in heels, bring comfortable shoes to walk in and change into along the way.
👗Most importantly, bring yourself, your smile, and an openness to connect.
