About
We are Chicago area photographers. We do portraits, products, weddings, comp cards, and sporting events. We do everything either in studio or at your site of choice (completely portable).
We also offer custom backdrops to your request (please allow 7 to 10 days of production time).
Photography is a part of the main company, Avent Printing and Graphics. If you're looking to do more with your photos after the shoot, we can do that (retouching, comp cards, business cards, posters, banners, point of purchase, billboards, etc.). Also, ask about our capabilities to print to marble and canvas.
We also do video editing, VHS-to-DVD transfer and picture slide shows.

We felt very lucky to have found Dwight to video our daughter’s play. He went above and beyond with the video he created for us, even adding a title, music, and photos at the end. He could have just left the video camera on the tripod to record and sat behind it, which was what we expected, but he used the time during the play to capture photos as well. We were very satisfied with the quality of his work, timing of completion, communication, value, and professionalism. We highly recommend Dwight and will definitely hire him again in the future! Thank you, Dwight, we really appreciate the work you did for us!!
