Joe and Stephanie Whitney


Photographing Joe and Stephanie's wedding at the University Club overlooking Millenium Park was the awesome!! The dress! The Bagpiper! And yes, The KILTS! We had a great time photographing on the 12th floor terrace and restaurant where we were towered above the gleaming "Bean" and Frank Gehry's bandshell. Event planner, Georgina Tegart and her assistant made the day run smoother than smooth (thank you!!), from preparations to the portraits through the stylish party.

The images are now viewable for your enjoyment at Collages!

Pardon Our Dust



In case you haven't noticed or heard, we've been under construction. Subsequently, the studio has been closed sporadically to let the dust settle and the fumes escape! We apologize for any inconvenience it has caused any of our customers, but we believe you'll agree it was worth the wait when you get a glimpse of the changes.

After several months of planning, the outdoor studio is near completion. Riverside landscaping company, Pottering Around, has created several stunning new locations for outdoor portraits. They planted over 3000 perennials, a few small truckloads of shrubs or trees, and laid hundreds of stones for paths leading to tranquil portrait settings. The results are breathtaking, and we can't wait to start the summer season with a myriad of new outdoor backgrounds.

Another major renovation is the updating of our interior. We ripped out the carpet and refinished the wood floors. The new furniture is on order, and should be arriving by the middle of June. We have a few more surprises coming, but in the meantime, see the most recent transformation in our Construction Slideshow.

Visit us this summer to see all of the updates!
