This past weekend we had our first experience with Barbie doing a family photoshoot. I can't…read moreexpress how happy we were throughout the whole experience. From communication from the very start, her reassurance regarding my father's mobility accomodations needed, and her overall friendlessness and ability to get true expressions from my family. We all had a wonderful time, it was so much fun and just some of the photos I saw (pre- edited) are truly magical. We have already booked another session for the fall! I can't recommend Barbie enough- she truly is an amazing person with such talent. If you're on the fence or unsure for whatever reason, here's your sign to move forward and book Barbie!

After the horrible experience we went through with our maternity pics photographer I was nervous about the same thing happening again, but I worried for nothing. Barbie did such a great job with our little girl and had a teaser pic posted within an hour! Then we had our disc of all the pictures in a week. She does fabulous work and we will definitely be using her again and again in the future!

I remember starting the search for wedding photographers and coming across Caitlin and Luke…read morePhotography. I read their story, and immediately knew that they were the perfect fit for us. Not only were their photos absolutely gorgeous, but you could tell they were genuine people. My husband and I met them at our engagement session and knew we had made the best decision! Our journey with Caitlin and Luke has been nothing short of amazing. My emails, texts, and phone calls were answered almost immediately. They made sure that Carl and I were super comfortable and had everything that we needed. We communicated with them the entire time leading up to the wedding and this just helped calm any stress or fears I had about the wedding day, especially during a pandemic. On the day of the wedding, they absolutely exceeded our expectations. Luke took portraits of the guys getting ready and at our portrait location. He made them feel at ease, which was amazing! The guys really loved working with Luke. The girls adored Caitlin and how well she works with others. They made our wedding day go so smoothly and helped us with EVERYTHING that we needed. If you are looking for photographers who feel like close friends, make you feel comfortable, and will help you have an amazing wedding experience for you and your significant other, than trust me Caitlin and Luke are the photographers for you!!

We had the pleasure of working with Cailtin & Luke's associate photographers Hayley and Hank and we…read moreare so pleased with the results. We've worked with them beginning with our engagement photos in December when it was freezing cold outside. They drove to the downtown Chicago during the holiday season (which is no easy feat) and helped us achieve the look we wanted for our Save the Dates.  I was so impressed with how organized Caitlin was in the planning process months up until our wedding day. They helped us create a day of timeline, create a shoot list for important portraits and got to know what kind of moments were most important for us to capture.  On our wedding day, Hayley and Hank captured all of our emotions wonderfully. However, most importantly, they were such a calm chill couple. They were so down to earth and did not add to our stress level even though it was drizzling during some of our shoots. They really did an astonishing job and could not be happier with the results. They had a very quick turn around time and the communication with Caitlin was beyond exceptional.

We have several family portraits she did of my husband's family and they not only show each person's personality, but the composition is beautiful. She seems to always capture that illusive inner beauty, even in my bald brother-in-law :) Her best work is with kids that are so hard to capture just right on film. How does she manage to get babies to sleep in those adorable poses? She's a master!
