Business Photographers in Waukegan, IL

My images speak for themselves, but I think I have an artist's eye. I am a Chicago area based Headshot Specialist. DRIVE A LITTTLE SAVE A LOT! I give a pre-shoot portrait tip sheet and I put people at ease with me, my camera and themselves. Some of my on location headshot clients include, Comcast Business, United Airlines, Eco-Labs, SCJohnson, Iron Mountain & CareerBuilder. I want people to act like themselves when I photograph them. It makes it easier for them to smile and for me to catch them at their best. I want folks to have an enjoyable photo session and if it is an event, I want to go with the flow and add to rather than detract from the fun of the event. I enjoy people and it shows in my work! Be sure to see my lifestyle, fashion and advertising site. I am also a Member of the Professional Photographer's of America and the American Photographic Artists professional associations. Plus I give a portrait tip sheet prior to our session so you can be fully prepared! I am prompt and responsive. Call me if you have any questions. I look forward to working with you to exceed your expectations! I love people and I really enjoy bringing out the best in their imagery and helping them to feel good about themselves or their product. I want the process to be as painless as possible.

I have over 35 years experience in both photography and video production to make sure you get the quality of service that you are looking for. My clients range from the private individuals needing family events covered, to corporate clients such as Microsoft and Mitsubishi needing photo or video work done. My film work has been highly successful with my clients, and has been accepted into film festivals worldwide. I also specialize in Video Transfer work, being a full service Video Transfer facility capable of most tape formats, including 8mm reels, and as well as being able to transfer film negatives and old photos. I only use the best professional tape machines, running multiple systems to help provide fast turn-around times. I have been working with video and audio since the 80's, and have many years of experience to help guarantee that you get the best results possible! I am also an FAA part 107 certified pilot, qualified for drone photography and video work with many years of experience with operating drones. All my reviews are 5 star reviews, and go back for many years. Our new, fully equipped studio is conveniently located in Wheeling with easy access to Chicago and the North, North-West suburbs.

I love people and I love taking pictures. When I put the two together, something great happens! I love to capture moments, moments that are real and genuine. I will do everything in my power to capture special moments that you can cherish! I enjoy meeting new people! I am a social butterfly and am a stay at home mom...so photography is a perfect way to fill that void! ;) I enjoy the outcome, making people happy by the portraits I create. ❤
