We moved to a new office on June 1 2011. It is located in the Mundelein/Vernon Hills area. Our new office allows us to better serve our clients in a very comfortable environment.

Can you say "Thank You" too much?

We had a great year meeting and photographing so many new people. Much of our business is based upon referrals from past clients and we appreciate the kind words that many of you have expressed.

Out with the OLD... in with the NEW

2010-10-23T11:00:00.005-05:00

We made the commitment to purchase all new equipment. We have new cameras, flashes, computer equipment and much more. With technology changing and improving constantly it is important to have the best equipment to be able to deliver the best photography.

Where it all started

2010-08-06T16:01:00.012-05:00

I have some cameras in my office that I have collected over the years. Some are very old and were made in the early 1900's. I also have my first camera that I used when I was first introduced to photography.

I am often asked "when did you know you wanted to be a photographer?" The answer is I remember as young as 12 years old my parents bought me my first camera and it all began from that point in my my life.

One of the cameras I own is a Polaroid Swinger and when I saw the video on YouTube it brought back memories from the past. The price of the camera was only $19.95 but I remember the Polaroid film was so expensive.. It was a fun camera back then and I still smile each time I hold it in my hands.

Check out the video. Do you remember the actress at the beginning of the commercial?

Capturing the emotion behind every image

2010-07-13T14:31:00.009-05:00

When we go out to photograph an event the one thing that we always strive to do is to do more than just take the photograph. Capturing a photograph composed and lit right is NOT good enough. We are there to capture the EMOTION behind every image.

Today we received an e-mail that says it all. It was so nice of Stacy to write us with these kind words.

Hi Warren - please forgive this long overdue note. I've been meaning to write you a personal note but am now resorting to email. We loved the pictures! You captured the fun, excitement and special feeling of the day! Thank you so much!

Take care!
Stacy Laner

2010-03-31T18:35:00.008-05:00

Once again we have been asked to photograph an event for one of our peers. With so many photographers available, it is an honor to be asked to photograph for someone who is in the same or similar business that we are in.

We have photographed for familes of photographers, videographers, graphic artists, entertainment companies and banquet halls.

Thank you to all those that trust us to capture their memories.
