A NOTE ABOUT HEADSHOTS:
Have camera and studio lights, will travel! We can create a series of images for your promotions! I love to work wtih with studio lighting and also will use natural light on location if the weather and existing lighting cooperates. Please inquire if you’d like me to travel to your office or higher education facility to update your team member’s headshots.
A NOTE ABOUT WEDDINGS;
We are open for photographing events around Chicago area, SW Michigan, NW Indiana and WI.
Tricia leads a team of photographers- primary and second photographers- that she has worked with for the past 15 years.
Tricia first started photographing weddings about 20 years ago, and she remembers being so enamored and influenced by Henri Cartier-Bresson, and his ability to capture the "decisive moment". Her approach has developed from this. The weddings she has documented have taken her around the world, from Barbados to San Francisco, from Florida to Milwaukee, but mostly in the Chicago area.
We want the photographs to convey the joy, capture the love, document the meticulous details, and savor the family and friends connection.
Our packages range $2500-5500, including a set of final jpgs. Packages may include engagement photos, custom premium album, and artistic unique wall collections. Please inquire about your date. Other a-la-carte options for hourly coverage are available.
A NOTE ABOUT MITZVAHS:
We first began photographing bar and bat mitzvahs for past wedding clients whose children were coming of age. Since then, we’ve photographed these wonderful moments in a young person's life. We love the traditions of the portraits in the temple and with the torah. We love this unique glimpse into young teenager's lives, if even for a day. Packages include 5-6 hours including jpgs and a custom album. Shorter packages including 3 or 4 hours of photography coverage is available. We also offer a separate portrait session for the bar/bat mitzvah, and sometimes with the whole family to be used as decor for the event. Share your plans with us and we'll send a custom quote.
Don’t need a lot of coverage? We now offer a portrait session for the family prior to the service as a stand alone shoot - contact us for more info!

Or Email or call for an appointment that works with your schedule. Photographer does wear mask while photographing you-outside and inside.
A NOTE ABOUT SENIOR PORTRAITS:
As the young people in our lives reached the end of high school, we began photographing these senior portraits. We see the senior portrait session as very much a collaborative effort. We want to hear about you or your teenager and what makes them unique, what their joys and hobbies are. We can incorporate some of those ideas into our photos. Our studio is available for portraits with a variety of backdrops, studio and natural light. We can also suggest a neighborhood, park, beach, or urban setting that would work well for a unique, abstract or meaningful backdrop.
A NOTE ABOUT ENGAGEMENTS: An engagement photo session is included with wedding packages for 8+ hours. We see this session as a "get to know you" photographically speaking. We love photographing in any season! and love to try urban, city, nature, backgrounds. We encourage feedback as this will aid us in the wedding day to capture flattering angles, and to listen more to your ideas and wishes for great wedding photography.
