And now all my friends heart Soda Fountain…read more They posted a "sneak peek" of our wedding photos right after we got back from our honeymoon and I still can't stop looking at them (it's been two months). The photos are just what I knew to expect since we had our engagement session witg them - intimate, photo journalistic pictures that capture the emotions of the people in the pictures. These are not posed, traditional photos. These are moments in time captured on film. Since the photos were posted, several of my friends immediately made those photos their Facebook profile pictures and one couple who got engaged after our wedding, called them to see if they could book them for their out of town wedding. Mysi and Craig are truly special and will capture all the love and magic on your wedding day!

I was looking for some quality headshots for my LinkedIn page to give my profile a more…read moreprofessional look as I began my job search. I chose Organic Headshots because the photos on their website looked high quality, the pricing was very reasonable compared with other options I looked at of similar quality, and they included all of the photos from the shoot in high resolution without watermarks. A lot of other places charge extra for that. My photographer was Alexander, and he was fantastic. He took the time to understand the purpose of my shoot and what I was hoping to get out of it. I brought several outfit options, and he helped me decide which clothes and backgrounds would work best. He walked me through different poses and angles so we could get a good variety of photos. I have a hard time smiling naturally for pictures, but Alexander was very patient and did a great job of guiding me through the process to get the best out of the shoot. It was a great experience. I'm really happy with the photos and would absolutely come back the next time I need professional photos.

Rachel was amazing! Her work is nothing short of spectacular!…read more Rachel beautifully captured the beginning of our family as we booked her for a maternity shoot. Rachel met us at North Pond promptly and took into account both me and my husband's likes for our photo shoot. I did both an outdoor photo shoot and an in studio session all in one-day. i couldn't decide between the two and I do not regret it at all - they all turned out so gorgeous! Rachel was professional, friendly, patient and warm - which I believe lead to amazing photos. I 100% recommend Yofi Photography and I will be booking them for more family shoots to come :).

I would give 10 stars if I could! Rachel and Vlad are not only the most talented photographers, but…read morethey are also the sweetest people. They make the entire session feel so natural and comfortable. Vlad did our first daughter's newborn photos and Rachel did our second child's newborn photos and the entire process was seamless. As you can imagine, it is extremely challenging to get any sort of photos with an 18 month old and a newborn, and Rachel was able to work her magic and capture the most beautiful photos of our family! They turned out absolutely perfect and we will cherish these memories forever. We are beyond grateful and can't wait to have them photograph our family for years to come! Thank you Rachel and Vlad!!

Before our second son was born, we debated whether to use the same newborn photographer as our…read morefirst. I'm so glad we decided to try Bethany Hope Photography because the experience exceeded every expectation. Bethany's studio, tucked away in Six Corners, has a cozy, rustic feel that perfectly matches her photography style. It's not a flashy, high-end production studio, and that's exactly what makes it so inviting. It feels warm, comfortable, and intentionally designed to capture the feeling of home. She even stocks snacks, water, toys for older siblings, and welcomed our dog without hesitation, immediately making the whole family feel at ease. Her studio specializes in newborn, baby, maternity, and family photography, and everything from the wraps to the props is thoughtfully prepared. What impressed me most was how naturally Bethany connected with our toddler. We were honestly worried he wouldn't smile for a single photo, but within minutes she had him laughing, playing, and completely engaged. Those genuine smiles ended up becoming some of our favorite family photos. With our newborn, her experience really showed. She handled every pose, wrap, and outfit change with incredible patience and care. As a relatively new mom herself, she understands how to work gently with newborns and put new parents at ease. She was thoughtful about hygiene, attentive throughout the session, and never made us feel rushed. What We Loved * Warm, comfortable studio with a beautiful rustic aesthetic * Wonderful with toddlers, newborns, and even family pets * Thoughtful amenities that make the session comfortable for everyone * Easy scheduling, responsive communication, and straightforward pricing * Beautiful collection of wraps, props, and newborn setups * Efficient session without ever feeling rushed Of course, the photos are what matter most, and they are absolutely stunning. Because everyone felt comfortable, the smiles looked natural, the newborn poses were timeless, and the entire gallery captured exactly what we hoped to remember from this stage of life. Compared with other newborn photographers we considered, Bethany offers tremendous value. You work directly with the photographer, the process is seamless from booking through delivery, and the final product speaks for itself. If you're looking for newborn, family, or milestone photography in Chicago, I couldn't recommend Bethany more highly. She's talented, caring, and creates an experience that's every bit as memorable as the photos themselves. An easy five stars.

She seems to capture us exactly as we are, while still having a quality that feels like we're a family from a magazine, even if for a split second of time. From a booking and business perspective, part of why we chose her was because it was SO EASY. Her website, pricing, contracting, proof process, and image delivery are all ABSOLUTELY seamless and easy. Booking her the first time was the path of least resistance because she was right in the neighborhood and had her pricing and booking easily available online. We keep coming back because it is so simply and joyful. Book her if you can get a session on her calendar, you will be so glad you did. And so will your extended family when they receive all of your gorgeous photos.
