If you are concerned about Covid 19, so not come to Studio 46. The owner is not enforcing social…read moredistancing, nor is she enforcing wearing masks. While I was these, a client had her mask completely off for the whole time, and the stylist was not wearing her mask properly. Since, I am caring for a very health compromised 86 year old, I asked her to wear it correctly and she refused, claiming its uncomfortable (like it's comfortable for ANYONE!). This is also a very noisy salon because the owner and this same stylist do no know how to modulate their voices. I am sick of the screaming! My stylist did everything correctly and I feel sorry for her, having to work in this environment.

Nicole is FABULOUS!!!!…read more A friend of a friend recommended her to me after I lamented about how poorly my newborn pictures had turned out (done by a different photographer.) I immediately contacted Nicole to schedule a 6 month photo shoot at her in-home studio. First - she's AMAZING working with the babies and was really able to capture my son's personality. Second - her in-home studio is beautiful and packed with props, costumes, etc. You literally just need to show up with your child - she will provide all the rest! Third - Nicole is super friendly and easy to work with. We loved her so much that we booked our family session (outside, in the fall) with her and she captured some amazing shots of the fall colors. And, we'll be using her for all of our future photography needs. LOVE Nicole!!

My boyfriend, myself and our three dogs did a family portrait session with Sonya yesterday. She…read morewas fantastic. We were a bit worried going into the session that our dogs would be completely impossible to work with. One is a puppy, who isn't quite potty trained, and we were worried that she would destroy Sonya's studio and bring us shame (and a huge bill) in the process. Fortunately none of our worst nightmare occurred. Sonya and her assistant worked superbly with the dogs. They let the dogs wander around the studio until they felt right at home. When the dogs jumped up, ruining the perfectly situated shot, Sonya didn't get frustrated. She simply helped us rearrange the whole gang and get the shot that we wanted. We haven't seen the proofs yet, but our session was such a great experience that I will be happy no matter what they look like (even though Im sure they will look great). I would recommend Sonya who has children or pets and wants great pictures AND a great experience.

I recently had the most amazing experience with this boudoir company, and I cannot recommend them…read moreenough! From start to finish, everything was absolutely perfect. I was a little nervous going in, but they made me feel completely comfortable and confident the entire time. The woman who did my hair and makeup was incredible--she truly worked magic and made me feel beautiful before I even stepped in front of the camera. The photographer was phenomenal. I had absolutely no idea what I was doing, but she guided me through every pose with patience and expertise. Her direction and encouragement made a huge difference, and it shows in the final photos--which turned out stunningly! This was such an empowering and fun experience. I walked away feeling amazing, and I'm so happy I decided to do it. Five out of five stars, hands down!

Lesson Learned: Nothing in life is free…read more I recently won a giveaway through Sylk Marti Studios, which advertised a free photoshoot valued at $1,500 on Instagram ad. I thought it was an amazing deal and a unique experience, so I signed up and "won" their Luxury Boudoir Giveaway. The prize included professional hair and makeup, a 2-hour creative portrait session, expert posing direction, a prep guide, magazine-quality retouching, and $750 worth of artwork or credit toward additional artwork. Before booking, they called to get to know me and asked me to create a Pinterest mood board. At the end of the call, they required a $250 "fully refundable" booking deposit. I asked how many pictures the $750 credit would cover--only two, at $375 each. That was shocking. My photoshoot was on April 20th. I brought my outfits to the studio and was shown an album of their high-quality photos. Individual portraits were $375 each, including a digital copy and printout. When I asked if the $750 credit included printouts, I was taken aback to learn it only covered 2 DIGITAL copies. Allie did my hair and makeup, and while I enjoyed her company, I usually do my own makeup and wouldn't have minded doing it myself. The photographer, Mercedes, reviewed my outfits but seemed unimpressed since they didn't include much lingerie, despite the prep guide saying lingerie wasn't required. The session took place in a room with a few sets and backgrounds, but the energy was lacking, and the experience felt awkward. Mercedes was sweet, but I didn't vibe with her, making the session less enjoyable. The viewing appointment on Zoom on April 26th was also awkward. They showed a slideshow of favorite shots with dramatic music, then asked me to rate each photo as "Love it, like it, or leave it." Knowing the $750 credit only covered two pictures, I liked a few and left the rest. After another round of choosing, I selected my top two pictures. When it came time to refund the $250 deposit, they deducted $76.88 for tax, which was not what I had in mind. So, I essentially paid $38.44 for each DIGITAL picture, making them the most expensive pictures I own. The claim that the deposit was fully refundable felt like a blatant lie. After the viewing appointment, I waited for an email from the production manager, April, with the link to my photos and my refund. Communication was poor, and I had to follow up multiple times. It took almost two weeks to get any response. When April finally sent the link on May 13th, it didn't work. She promised to fix it and text me when it was ready, but, of course, she never did. The next day, I had to email again for a working link and reset password. Regarding the refund, it was initially sent to the wrong account due to a mix-up with another person's profile. They had no idea until I pointed it out. After correcting this, April finally refunded the correct amount of $173.12 the next day. I knew it shouldn't have taken 5-7 business days because Chase Bank processes these things quickly. Overall, this experience was long, frustrating, and not worth the advertised value of $1,500. I'm still upset that they taxed the 2 digital photos supposedly valued at $750 (which they aren't because I'm only getting the digital copies, not printouts). If I had known I wouldn't get my full $250 refund, I never would have bothered with this so-called "experience."

Smart Ink is on the second floor of a strip mall, and it could be hard to find if you are not looking for it. It is also a bit confusing since it's on the second floor, but the stairs are connected to the cemented wall underneath the second-floor dentist sign. The first thing I noticed when walking into the tattoo studio was how clean and bright it was. Everything is sanitary, and no matter which tattoo artist you see, everyone is nice and will greet you when they see you. There is also a nice artsy vibe to the studio; the walls are filled with handmade art, and every artist's tattoo area has its own personality and aesthetic shining through. I love that everyone can create their own creative area because it makes the studio feel much more inviting. Sometimes, tattoo studios feel very cookie-cutter and edgy, but this place is different in a good way. My husband and I both got tattoos from Jackie, and she did an amazing job. She met with us on the front couches to make sure her final sketches worked with us. I wanted to change a part of mine, and she made the changes on her iPad in front of me before printing it out. Then, she wanted to make sure the placement and size worked with me before we started. Yes, these are basic tattoo artist jobs, but you'd be surprised how many tattoo artists skip steps. I got my tattoos before my husband did, but she took her time on both of us. She was extremely professional and made the experience enjoyable by being personable and talkative. The tattoos look AMAZING and are exactly what we wanted. We gave her some artistic freedom with colors and/or designs, and she did not make us regret it. We will 100% be back at this tattoo studio, and we will be sticking with Jackie for all of our tattoo needs and wants =)

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!
