Karen Page has delivered consistent, high quality, personally tailored and artistic photography to…read moreour family for years. I have an 8 year old and a 5 year old, both with very different personalities. Karen has an immediate sense for how to photograph each child, based on their personalities. She really captured my kids attention with her subtle methods and gentle spirit. We have received numerous compliments on the photography of our family in our home. Karen also did some special framing at my request which included some personal sayings about family. I would definitely recommend Karen to anyone looking for photography of their family, wedding or special event. ~Sarah from Western Springs

Bozena is a miracle photographer. By that, I mean that she can produce photo miracles with even the…read moremost awkward, difficult subjects. I'm so happy that we chose her for a 2-hour couples session at the botanic garden. It resulted in some pictures that are a thing of dreams. Bozena's sense for light, composition, expert prompting make it clear that you're in the hands of an experienced pro. On top of that, she is very down to earth, reliable and nice. I would definitely work with Bozena again and highly recommend her to others.

Cannot express how much I love my photos from Bozena! We have had 3 sessions with Bozena and have…read moreloved each experience! Bozena took our wedding photos back in 2022, our newborn photos after our son was born and an extended family photo session. What I love most about Bozena is her attention to detail. She notices the small things: a phone in a pocket, a ruffled collar, a strand of hair that's misplaced and so much more! This attention to detail helps make her photos beautiful and a lasting memory! Looking forward to our next session with Bozena!

Missy is the BEST!!! She took our engagement photos last fall and just spent the entire day with…read moreus capturing every moment of our wedding. I had a hard time selecting just one photo to use for our Save the Dates... they were all so good! She is very familiar with lots of lovely locations in the area and gave us a great variety of fun, sweet, romantic and serious pictures. We have seen a few teasers of our wedding photos so far and they are AMAZING! Missy is very creative and set up the most beautiful shots. She has an eye for just the right background. She is also open to fun ideas and making sure we captured certain photos as well. We had a few special photos we wanted to take (Thank You & Christmas Card ideas) and she scouted out the best spots for each. She kept us on schedule and feeling stress-free all day. Words cannot describe how happy I am with our entire experience. If you are looking for a photographer for your wedding, family photos or graduation pictures... Don't look any further than Missy and Elite Photo.

From the laughter of my wife and i to the guests as well. Just looking at the pictures gives you the captured in time vibe compared to old westerns where everyone just poses and looks miserable as if they're there as a favor. Missy knew the dealiolio when it came down to taking the pictures after the "i do" she was like a teacher who gets control over her wild class " family of the groom you go nowhere, family of the bride you have 5 minutes then i want you all here. put your beer down, put your beer up, you out! you in, the faster we get through this the faster you all can drink!" (never knew my family can be organized and follow instructions so well) All the pictures we requested were taken great and in a short amount of time due to her organized style. She was very friendly when we first had our meeting rather than " this is the price range this is what you get blah blah blah" she got to know my wife and i and knew the kind of pictures we wanted other than the ones requested. The biggest advice we recieved was do not settle for just any photographer because the pictures will last you a life time and you don't want regrets" - brides brother Pat. We just got our wedding book and her talent made us feel like it was yesterday, from the small details to the happiest moments. We didn't settle for just any photographer we settled for Thee Photographer. Good luck selecting your favorites.

So impressed with Tricia, Melissa (her office manager), and the entire experience with this Studio…read more Everything is handled with professionalism, warmth, and authenticity. We were scrambling to find a photographer for our infant son. Tricia was always someone on my radar, but her location out in Geneva (we live in Chicago) always seemed prohibitive for us. As it turned out, other things fell through and I immediately messaged Tricia's studio for a session. And it was fantastic. My husband even agrees whole-heartedly - we will be heading out to Geneva for our photos from now on. Tricia's style is beautiful, she is great with babies and children, the entire process is seamless, and I love that she encourages you to print and display your photos. In fact, we are currently going through *all* of our photos trying to figure out what else we would like printed so we can create a display wall. This is exactly the inspiration we needed. Hire her. She's worth every penny and more.

I'm a 32 year-old male professional wedding photographer. Let me tell all you dudes out there how…read moreincredible newborn photography is to your new addition! Our little newborn Ella was 9 days old when I realized how important it was to photograph her in all the newborn goodness. I was always pretty judgemental about those "baby in a basket" sessions. You don't really get how unique that time in life is until you hold your own little child in your hands. I discovered you've got to photograph newborns within 14 days of their birth, otherwise it gets difficult for them to stay sleepy and stationary for a photo session. I had a minor meltdown trying to reach an incredible, well-known newborn photographer from Wisconsin. They did get a hold of me, but said I needed to come to Wisconsin with the baby for the session because of their busy schedule. They also recommended Patricia Anderson here in Chicago. I was elated to hear back from Patricia that evening. Patricia had a full schedule, but after **slightly** begging her, she fit me into her weekend schedule and we got Ella scheduled for a session at 11 days young. **AH** thank you thank you! Patricia is so easy to work with. She handles everything once you get to the studio. She took baby Ella and all we had to do was watch in amazement as the 1 hour mini session unfolded. Turn around was quick - we were able to see the photographs the same week. Man, did she deliver! And her print products are so fitting to her brand - you've got to get these photographs up on your wall! Seriously - it's the only way to go with artistic photographs that Patricia creates for you. We'll be back for every child from here on out. Thank you so much Patricia!!!

Based on other reviews, they do a great job, but I have not verified that. While I was waiting response back from LBS, I have hired another photographer already. Ashleigh, I understand that you can't make yourself available all the time, but when you go on vacation, I suggest you to change your voice mail to let your current and potential customers know. I call your phone and the voice mail didn't have any indication you might be in delay to get back, so I can only assume you are busy and don't have the capacity for the job. However, I still hope we can use your service in the future.

We discovered Tricia's work when we became the winning bidder of a senior portraits package at a…read morecharity event, and when I saw her portfolios online, I was so excited to get my stepson's senior pictures taken there. Tricia captured his smile and personality so well. We were so pleased with not only the outcome, but her customer service and attention to detail too. So, of course, when we decided to get married, I called Tricia again. We had a small wedding in the city, and Tricia traveled with us in the limousine and took amazing photos of the ceremony and from the planetarium with the cityscape in the background, as well as urban shots on the Franklin Street bridge. The pictures from the 95th floor of the Hancock Tower where we had dinner were spectacular. My favorites, however, were the candid shots of our guests having a great time. Tricia has an art of capturing people's emotion through photography. Call her if you have an important life event that you want to have photographed!

From start to finish, they were organized, professional, and incredibly easy to work with. Communication leading up to the big day was smooth and reassuring -- every question was answered quickly, every detail was thought through, and they made the entire experience feel effortless. On the wedding day, the team showed up ready to go and immediately put us at ease. They were warm, friendly, and knew exactly how to guide us without ever making anything feel posed or forced. They captured everything -- the big emotional moments, the tiny in-between ones, and all the energy in the room -- without ever feeling intrusive. Their balance of directing when needed and letting moments naturally unfold was spot-on. The photos and videos themselves are stunning. They somehow managed to bottle up the joy, energy, and emotion of the day in a way we'll treasure forever. The edits are clean, timeless, and beautifully done, and the video footage feels like a true story rather than a montage. They also provided multiple formats and options, which we really appreciated.  Our families and friends haven't stopped talking about how talented the team was -- and we couldn't agree more. If you're looking for a photographer and videographer who are professional, creative, and genuinely invested in making your wedding memories perfect, we couldn't recommend This is Feeling more highly.

Or maybe you don't even believe in love so you're like "who knows how long this marriage will last so let's just get any photographer that shows up in our google search". Maybe you're just boring people so you don't really care so the same standard boring wedding pics are fine for you. So sad. But if you really want something good, like REALLY good, I'm sayin stand out good, creative but not nebulous/pretentious like some hipster crap, but unique still refined, quality expressive of who YOU are as a couple.... you go with This Is Feeling. No question. Unparalleled. In all seriousness we planned and hired well (as much as is possible for businesses you have to hope that deliver on what they say for a hopefully one time event) and out of the dozen whatever venders, This is Feeling was like one of two that actually cared and got everything right. Most of these vendors are just tryin to make easy money with all this wedding markup market stuff. They don't care about your one wedding of hundreds they do. This is Feeling does care though. They're proud of their work and excellent at it. You can hire them, rest easy, and focus on worrying about the other stuff.
