Photography Services on Chicago's North Shore
Real light, real people, no stiff rows and no "say cheese." I photograph brands, families, newborns, seniors and couples across Glenview, Wilmette, Winnetka and the rest of Chicago's North Shore. Will travel for assignments.
Family Photography
Your people, as they are.
No posed rows. We take a walk, we play, and I catch what's actually there. The piggyback ride. The shy grin. The way your youngest still reaches for your hand.
Starting at $550.
Maternity & Newborn Photography
The very beginning.
Photographed at home, with your coffee going cold on the counter. No props, no overheated studio, no wrapping anyone into shapes they didn't ask for. We work around feeds and naps, not the other way around.
Starting at $550.
Commercial, Branding & Headshots
Your work, seen.
Headshots, team portraits and brand imagery for North Shore and Chicago businesses. Planned by someone who spent fifteen years in marketing, so every image has a job to do.
Headshots from $425
Team headshots from $1,000
Branding sessions from $2,000
Senior Sessions & Graduation
Your year, your call.
You pick the location. One spot, worked from every angle, so the gallery looks like we shot in four. Ninety minutes, up to three outfits, and direction from the first frame so you are never standing there wondering what to do with your hands. I show you the back of the camera as we go. Booking the class of 2027.
Starting at $650.
Engagement & Wedding Photography
Before the crowd arrives.
One golden hour that's just the two of you, before the planning takes over. Lakefront at sunset, the spot where you met, a quiet street in town. You'll forget I'm there by the second location. Rates current through December 2027.
Engagement sessions from $650
Weddings starting at $6,500.
-
Sessions here typically run $500 to $1,000 depending on length and what's included. Mine start at $550 for 60 minutes with 40 or more edited images and a private gallery. Prints and albums are priced separately in your gallery.
-
Fall is the busiest season on the North Shore and September and October dates go first, usually by mid-August. For newborns, reserve in your second trimester and we'll shoot within baby's first three weeks. For weddings, twelve to eighteen months out is normal.
-
Yes. Portrait sessions within 25 miles of Glenview are included, which covers the North Shore and Chicago's north side. Anything further is quoted with your date
-
Almost nobody thinks they are. Before your session I'll ask you to send a couple of photos of yourself you actually like, so I know what you're going for, and I'll ask whether you want these natural or more polished. Then I'll direct you the whole time. You will not be standing there wondering what to do with your hands.
-
You'll get my full style guide when you book. Short version: soft neutrals, one accent color, comfortable, coordinated, not matching, and no big logos.
-
I keep a running list for every season and time of day: Gillson Park at golden hour, Elder Lane Beach when you want it quiet, the Glen or the Grove in Glenview, the Winnetka bluffs, and Kenilworth's tree-lined streets in October. We'll pick together, or we'll shoot in your own backyard, which is more often the right answer than people expect.
-
A sneak peek within 48 hours. Your full gallery within two weeks, because the point is to have these, not to wait for them.
-
We reschedule, free, no drama. Overcast is often better light than sun, so we only move for actual rain.
-
Then we have a normal toddler. Snack break, reset, keep going. Some of my favorite frames come right after the tears.
-
No. On a mini day I edit every session together, so minis skip the 48-hour peek. Your full gallery arrives within two weeks, same as every other session.
-
Yes, a limited number each year, plus travel dates. Collections begin at $5,000 and I'm currently booking 2027. Engagement clients get first look at my calendar.
-
A headshot is one great photo of your face. A branding session is the story of your business: you, your space, your work in motion, shot to match your website and feed.
-
Yes, and I'd love to. I shoot throughout Chicago and Chicagoland, and I travel. If you're getting married somewhere that means something to you, a lake house, a hillside, a city you love, ask me about it. For anything requiring a flight I bill travel and two nights' lodging at cost, and I ask for a little more notice on the calendar
