We booked South Lens for our engagement photos and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Roberto made us feel comfortable right away, which was huge since we’re not usually in front of the camera. He kept everything relaxed and fun, and it honestly felt more like hanging out than a photoshoot.
He had a great eye for locations and lighting, and guided us just enough so nothing felt awkward or forced. A lot of our favorite shots ended up being the natural, in-between moments he captured.
The photos came out amazing—clean, authentic, and full of personality. He really captured us as a couple. We’re so happy with how everything turned out and would absolutely recommend South Lens for engagement photos.

Roberto came out to an event of mine that I was hosting for a few Marine buddies of mine. He captured some great candid moments and captured some great memories. Glad I hired him as he was professional and prompt. Will for sure use him again.

Roberto at South Lens was amazing to work with. From the moment we started, he made me feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera. He really knows how to guide you through poses while keeping everything natural. The final photos came out incredible—clean, sharp, and professionally edited without looking overdone. You can tell he takes pride in his work. Highly recommend and will definitely be booking again.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My pricing is straightforward and based on the type of session, time, and deliverables. I offer tiered packages depending on what you’re looking for. Studio rental or add-ons like extended time may be included depending on the shoot. I focus on delivering high-quality work that feels worth the investment.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
It starts with a quick conversation to understand your vision, goals, and vibe. From there, I help plan the shoot location, wardrobe, and overall direction. On shoot day, I guide you through posing and keep things relaxed so you feel confident. After the session, I carefully edit and deliver a polished gallery ready for use.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a background in Advertising & Public Relations from Loyola University Chicago, which helps me approach photography with a strong eye for branding, storytelling, and visual impact. Beyond that, most of my growth has come from hands-on experience, working with real clients, and constantly refining my craft.
