About
I love capturing the little glance, the sweet smile, the warm embrace, the twinkle in the eye...all the moments that make for a great image. I'm known for making you feel amazing in front of the camera. Really, it's kind-of my superpower. You'll find I have a positive attitude, relaxed energy, a creative approach to just about everything, and a natural style of editing!
With over 25 years of photography and marketing experiences combined -- I make a great partner in not only photographing people, but working with corporate clients and business owners to help them showcase their products and build their brand.
I feel energized when getting to meet new clients; especially getting to learn about YOU before a shoot - as well as during. My goal is to make you look forward to coming to the studio, (or me coming to you) and really bringing out your personality, or bringing their business to life.
Getting to create layouts, magazine pieces and more for clients marketing content are added benefits when you work with me. Let's make your dream photos a reality. I can't wait to work with you.
Cheers,
Linda

I am close to 60 years old and plus size. I wanted to surprise, (more like shock), my husband for our 37th anniversary with boudoirphotos. I have never been photogenic, but I was hoping I could find someone that could make me look good, just this once.
I searched for weeks on line, and finally found Linda. She responded promptly to my emails. We spoke on the phone. She was so pleasant, reassuring, and professional. And her prove for the shoot was so affordable.
When I went to my photo shoot, the art studio and surroundings were beautiful, and comfortable. It was fun relaxing while the cosmetologist did my hair and makeup. Linda was sweet and professional during the shoot. She had so many poses and tricks to make me look great! Being older, and on disability, I was slow in changing positions and outfits. But she was so patient with me.
When I saw the proofs, I was so pleasantly surprised how pretty I looked! She is a miracle worker!
I can't wait for my anniversary to present this gift to my husband.
I can recommend Linda very highly. You won't be disappointed. My daughter will be getting married soon. I already recommended Linda to be her photographer.

Linda made me feel so comfortable even though I was so nervous about my boudoirphoto shoot...I am definitely not a model and she was patient with me and so helpful in order to get some amazing shots! Cannot wait to see the finished product!

Linda was fantastic! She scouted out three beautiful locations, all very close to our home. She was incredibly calming and patient with our 12 month old daughter - getting into crazy positions to capture the perfect picture. She made our eight year old totally comforable and got some incredible pictures of her as well. She took many shots and made sure that we had some really good ones before we ended our session. It was a pleasure to work with Linda!

Linda did an amazing job capturing my boyfriend and I's ideas and offered great ideas and poses herself. She did a wonderful job and helped us pick an excellent location that captured the beautiful fall scenery Illinois has to offer. She really did a great job with capturing candid shots of my boyfriend and I and would definitely recommend her to friends and family. I will definitely be using her in the future! Thanks, Linda!
