The studio is a cozy, fully equipped boutique portrait space in Chicago's West Lakeview neighborhood, steps from the Irving Park and Ashland intersection. It is the kind of place that feels less like a studio and more like a great afternoon with someone who has thought of absolutely everything.
Top-of-the-line studio lighting. simple + clean backdrops,. Blankets, wraps, and hats for newborns in a range of styles and colors. A fully stocked client closet for babies and children. A client seating area where parents can relax, watch, and just be present while the magic happens.
And yes, there is a Nespresso machine. Because nobody photographs well when they need coffee...and snacks, because we all need snacks!
It is here that parents also come to view their images and choose beautiful tanglible art products to be enjoyed in their own home.
