A massive thank you to our AMAZING photographer, Andrew, who restored a precious photograph from…read morethe past that could never be recreated. From the time he received the photo in horrible shape (the cracks had been held together with duct tape), Andy was confident that he had everything under control as we held our breath. He was great in communicating with us and taking our ideas about what we wanted done. We were delighted to find out that once he received it he developed a plan on how he was going to do the restoration. We knew he was the right photographer as he did an amazing job on each of our children's weddings. Everyone had remarked about his beautiful work and loved him. We recently received an email of the before and after and couldn't be happier with them. We now are awaiting the actual restored photos with great excitement. I would have him work on any restoration project that has sentimental value to you. When dealing with these photos you realize that if someone doesn't have their heart in their work and messes it up, you only had one shot, and the project would have been permanently destroyed. Andy worked with the love we had for this photo and it definitely shows. Highly recommend his work in restoring photos as well as any photography project, wedding, portraits, "just because" photos. Many thanks, Andy.

We started going to Acorn Portraits in February, when they offered a mini session. We had a newborn…read moreat home and it seemed like the perfect time to get some photos done. We had a grumpy little one and had very little expectation in terms of what the session would yield. What we got back was astounding in quality. We had a hard time narrowing down what we wanted. At that moment, we decided we wanted Amanda (the photographer at Acorn) to be our own and only. About Amanda the photographer: She has a great eye and uses natural light and relaxed poses instead of the stilted poses in front of static backgrounds. She's relaxed and fun and she makes you relaxed. I'm in that super awesome postpartum stage some of us go through, where you no longer look like you had a baby recently, but are still carrying around a lot of extra weight, and Amanda has managed to take pictures of me that I actually like. This is quite a feat. From a price and timing perspective, you pay for her time up front. It's a completely reasonable amount. She turns around the pictures from your shoot pretty darn quickly. And the costs to buy prints are really reasonable as well. We've had two more shoots since the first and have a couple more that we're planning on before the end of the year. I can't wait to work with her again.

I had a good experience with my children at their beautiful studio. Great picture quality as well!read more

Look no further! Great Photographer & Editor!…read more Found Cruz & MCV Image on Yelp looking for a professional photographer to take pictures of our home for our real estate listing to sell our home. Cruz was easy to work with from start to finish... He replied quickly to my initial inquiry & was able to schedule me to come out a couple days later. He offers a variety of "packages" including photos, drone photos, video montage's & 2D layouts of your home and the price was more than fair for the time he invested in getting all the photos & drone shots as well as then editing the photos and getting me awesome shots to use with our listing! If you are looking for a great photographer with an eye for detail and editing, Cruz is your guy. He does other types of work as well. Check out his portfolio on his website!! Highly Recommended!

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. If you're looking for a talented, professional, and thoughtful Chicago maternity photographer, Sri is the one to book!
