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!

My family and I have never done a family photo shoot and we were excited to at least get one photo for a canvas. We had no idea how to pose or what to do. Miguel was the perfect photographer, especially for people who are not experienced in getting their photo taken. We love all of the poses that he suggested. He was so funny and personable which helped capture some really organic smiles and happy moments. We also included our puppy in the photo shoot and he did such a great job capturing our dog and getting her attention as well. Needless to say we've gotten much more than one good photo that we set out for. I would definitely recommend MN photography to all of my family and friends and look forward to booking again in the future.

My fiancee and I were visiting a particular wedding venue and saw some gorgeous pictures in the…read moreoffice of a event coordinator and were told they were by Artlynn. I couldn't stop staring at them! We later started our search looking for a wedding photographer. This is no small feat. I learned that just because someone is a photographer doesn't mean they do weddings. I checked into several photographers and did thorough research. When I called Artlynn, I spoke to Jeff. He was professional, helpful and very friendly. I had many questions and he answered them all. He encouraged me to come into the studio to look at their work in person. So, I came in the next day (conveniently located) and was absolutely wowed by the photo work displayed in the studio along with the photo albums I got to look at. The pictures are clear, so much so, I felt like I was actually there in the scene. Now, that's talent. The pictures online don't do them enough justice, definitely go pay them a visit. When my fiancee was available, he came to see the photos for himself. Like me, he was impressed. Jeff once again was friendly and took time with us along with being very accommodating which we appreciated. We were glad our wedding date was available as it is a popular date. We are also relieved because Artlynn has done photography at our wedding venue many many times so they are familiar with the place which we know will be to our advantage. I look forward to providing an updated review when our wedding photos are completed but I will say that our impression so far is really good and their prices we found that, compared to others, are very reasonable. Things got a little confusing in the paperwork process. We would talk to Jeff but when it came to receiving contract documents or messages through email, it came from Anthony. When responding to Anthony's email, I would get a reply to talk to Jeff. A suggestion I would make is that if we are dealing with Jeff, then it should be him throughout the whole process and the same process with Anthony. I shared this information with Jeff. This place has been in business for 61 years! If that doesn't speak volumes, I don't know what will. Thank you Artlynn!

The start-over has consisted of reseting and packaging all of the skills I have learned throughout my education and work experience. Because of the breadth and depth of the skills being groomed, it had to display from a qualitative point of view. As I began to package my newly groomed skills, documenting progress and milestones became more important than ever. Suddenly, I decided that I would use a photograph as my mode of documentation. It would form memories of the build up, and provide a timestamp of the occurrence. This would be the first portrait I've take on my own. What a great way to document! It had been over 12 years since I'd last taken a portrait, and that was the idea of an ex-girlfriend, and not of my own. I was somewhat clueless of what to expect with getting in front of the camera... I remembered a photo studio conveniently located in the center of a local mall. I had a good feeling about the work there because every time I had ever passed by I remember passing the photographer providing friendly professional service. She was often seen passionately making children smile, while they prepared for their photos. I was able to locate the studio through a Google search, to reach out and schedule an appointment. The phone call to schedule the appointment scheduling was simple and straightforward. The photographer answering the phone, Runeen process was fairly simple. Runeen, insured an appointment could be set, and further confirming availability. While on the phone she described the process and while also providing the option to take a photos using the Studio's provided wardrobe. The experience turned out great. Runeen was able to take several shots and allowed me to pick the ones I liked. I will definitely go back. I have already been back for a second take shoot, and have another one planned for my next milestone.

I am terminally ill and I am hanging on as hard as I can for my boys. The only thing I wanted before I die is to have a big Canvas picture of my boys to look up at when I'm laying down so I can see my boys not someone else's painting or picture, I wanted a picture of my boys before I die but it looks like that is not going to happen. The owner was very insensitive, could care less about my situation and would not give me a retake (I have a free sitting fee slip) but she will not. I am an Air Force Veteran, I could not even speak with the employee because she was the owners Mom and she could only speak Arabic. Very offensive to any Veteran. 168.00 plus 20 for a flash drive because she put it on a CD and I do not have a CD player on my computer or anything else. I don't even own a DVD player. So I basically spent 200.00 for 4 pictures, the one 11x14 by far is the worst picture of all. She is the professional, she is the one who knows how to organize the boys in the picture. It looks liKe a kindergartner took the pictures and said now give me 200.00 for this crap that only my Mom and Dad will say is nice because they love me and don't want to hurt my feelings. Well Jannah you are not my child and I will say it like it is, THE PICTURES ARE HORRIBLE! I wouldn't give these pictures free to anyone. They would say: are you kidding? Who wants these? Someone without sight or a family member such as a grandparent that will take any picture and love it. The boys look wonderful, I love them no matter what they were wearing or how fat or skinny. I don't care they are all beautiful in my eyes but my eyes are not the only eyyes lookIng at these pictures. Everyone walking in my house will see those horrific pictures and think what kind of Mom put up pictures of her boys like that. Well I guess I am because I get no retake, I'm on disability so I do not have another 200.00 to take a chance on getting better pictures. You see it is more than pictures for me. I don't know when my last day will be. I took every picture down from my house for hopes of one large Canvas of my boys. At least their faces are painted in my heart. As for Jannah I really hope you change your ways. There is only one judge and he knows all, nothing is hid from him. Boys I love you, you all look great, it was the poor customer service I received and it was very hard for me to get the photos. I love You oxox. It's not any of your faults. She is the professional, she knew the pictures looked bad esp the 11x14.
