I moved to Chicago at the end of last year, and this is my first pregnancy. At first, I wasn't sure…read moreif I wanted to do a maternity photoshoot. It felt out of my comfort zone, something I had never done before. But after hearing from friends that I might regret not capturing this moment, I decided to start searching for a photographer. I came across many different artists online, but Sri's portfolio immediately stood out. His photography style is artistic, natural, and unique--nothing felt overly posed or awkward. I was already approaching my third trimester, so time was limited. Thankfully, Sri responded quickly and guided me through the entire process. He explained what to bring, what to expect, and assured me that most of the wardrobe and accessories would be available at the studio. We scheduled the shoot two weeks later with Sri and his talented makeup artist, Laura. When I arrived, I was nervous and unsure, but those feelings quickly disappeared. Both Sri and Laura made me feel completely at ease. Laura styled my hair into soft waves and gave my skin a beautiful, radiant glow, while Sri patiently walked me through the session step-by-step. Sri has an incredible eye for detail and a clear passion for his craft. He was attentive, energetic, and never rushed the process. Even when I needed time to find the right pose, he remained patient and encouraging, always focused on capturing the perfect shot. The final photos exceeded all my expectations--they are stunning and filled with emotion. I'm so grateful I stepped out of my comfort zone and trusted Sri with this experience. He even made sure I had a beautifully edited photo ready in time for my baby shower just one week later. This photoshoot has become one of the most meaningful memories of my pregnancy, and I wholeheartedly recommend Sri to anyone looking for a photographer. He not only incredibly talented but also kind, professional, and deeply passionate about what he does.

She hadn't planned on doing a shoot for herself and I wanted to make sure she had something beautiful to look back on to remember the moment. It was important to find someone who would make her feel comfortable while also delivering truly stunning maternity pictures-- and Sri exceeded all expectations. From my first call with him, Sri was warm, professional, and incredibly straightforward about pricing, deliverables, and the entire process. He made everything seamless, even arranging hair and makeup. When I introduced Sri to my sister, he was just as kind and reassuring, which instantly put her at ease. The maternity photo shoot itself was an amazing experience. Sri's studio is in a great location and offers the privacy that was important for my sister to feel relaxed. Throughout the session, Sri brought great energy and took the time to understand how my sister wanted to see herself in the photos. His expertise in artistic photography really came through-- his use of light is masterful, creating simple yet powerful images that perfectly capture this special moment. I found Sri by searching online for photographers in Chicago, and I'm so grateful I did.

We had a great time working with Albert. From the beginning, he was extremely helpful and friendly,…read moreand we immediately knew he was a good fit for us and our budget. He's very knowledgeable about the industry and was able to answer any questions we had. What my husband and I valued the most was Albert's ability to get along with everyone. We had used a different photographer for our engagement shoot, and although he shot beautiful photos, he was just very antisocial, serious, and hard to connect with. After we met Albert, we realized how important it was to us to have someone who was compatible with our personalities and was able to communicate effectively with our friends and family. During our wedding, Albert was professional, but at the same time, felt like a friend who was there to help us through the day. An added bonus was that he knew Cantonese so he was able to communicate with the elder family members who did not know English. Albert was (and is) extremely responsive before and after the wedding. After our honeymoon, we requested a few photos for our thank you cards, and he was able to send some within a few days. We were able to receive all of our wedding photos about 3 months after our wedding, and we love them!

We really had a lot of fun with Jason. - Albert spoke Chinese which was a big help with our Chinese family. Our family was very comfortable with him and Albert's Chinese really helped in directing them. - Overall, Albert was very professional and managed the process well. He gave clear directions but was nice and professional about it. - And of course the pictures! They turned out well and our family and friends have really enjoyed them! We would recommend Second Print for a wedding or any special occasion. They are easy to work with and are fun guys in general.

As we were doing our research on who we wanted to document our big day, the wife found I Luv Photo…read moreand fell in love with their style. I admittedly had no strong feelings at first, but after our first in-person meeting with Luis and Clarissa I felt a lot better about bringing them on board. They were very easy going, but definitely paid attention to all of our requests and details we gave them. We first did an engagement shoot on a cold wintery day. We had several locations in the South Loop we wanted to go to, and they drove us around as we shot in front of various murals. Even with the difficult parking and chilly weather they got us to most of our spots, and even the two of them worked well together to make sure we got the shots we wanted, and any improvised shots they saw that looked good. I was very impressed with how Luis handled our group of groomsmen on the day of. I guess it helped that we were a little older but we still goofed around a good amount, but Luis was prepared to still corral us in and get the shots he needed. Luis and Clarissa made sure we kept on schedule, and even though we had to abandon one of the places we wanted to shoot the pictures at our alternate spot still looked great. We got the photos about a month and a half after our wedding, posted on their site for ordering prints and we got a Dropbox link with all the full quality images. Throughout the whole process they were responsive and were easy to work with. They may not be a big studio but definitely worth a look!

As member of the LGBTQ community, it was very important to my wife and I to find photographer(s) who were comfortable working with an out of the "norm" couple. Luis and Clarissa were very understanding of our concerns and made the whole process smooth. They worked well with people of all ages from our grandparents to our nieces/nephews. After receiving our BEAUTIFUL photos we realized that one was missing from the bunch that was important to us - after working with Luis and Clarissa, we were able to resolve the issue together and there was no trouble getting access to photos that weren't necessarily a part of their initial pick. I would highly recommend this duo to anyone looking for a wedding photographer. They managed to capture the authenticity of our day in a way that feels warm and inviting. Their professionalism and eagerness made for some truly stunning photographs that we will cherish for years to come.

I researched other photographers and spoke to a handful, but from the start Emily was professional but also fun and extremely easy to work with. I shared my ideas with her and as the day drew closer she realized that due to the season or time of the day, some of the shots would probably not work out. She had a ton of great suggestions that were even better than what I had planned. Emily got some great candid shots of me proposing to my girlfriend, and then we went on a photo shoot around Chicago. After the proposal Emily was great at making sure that we stuck to our schedule, checking and giving us suggestions to make sure the photos looked well, and capturing great light and backgrounds across the city. Emily got us our photos really quickly, and we were blown away by how great they ALL were. We've been very happy and proud to show off our proposal photos, and everyone has loved them. I can honestly say that my proposal would not have turned out as great as it did without Emily! Thanks Emily!!
