Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: From a young age Mahrou has found a natural connection to the camera. Having never been taught how to use her first film camera, this was a blessing in disguise. Learning by making mistakes, and then correcting, led to the formation of her unique photographic eye. She remembers the dark room being a place of discovery and magic. Even the unintentional aspects of film creation were beautiful. While also studying graphic design at the same time, she was led into the digital world. Digital photography/editing started to carve a new path for her. Combining the skills she learned in school, paired with real world experience, Mahrou found a true passion for black and white photography. Black and white allows an expression of more emotion. When we only see black and shades of gray this keeps us from finding distraction with color.
After graduating with a B.F.A in graphic design in 2012, life instead gave more opportunities with photography. This includes in-studio commercial photography, corporate events, concerts, sports, family portraits, and more.

Mahrou was absolutely wonderful to work with for our "surprise" proposal photoshoot! She was incredibly responsive and easy to work with and helped immensely with logistics and planning. Was really impressed when she went out to the location the day prior to ensure she would have the perfect spot ready.
We had some inclement weather on the engagement day and she was so flexible in pushing back a few hours (on the fly!) to ensure we had perfect weather! She spent far more time with us than I expected to ensure we had every shot that we wanted.
And the photos were fantastic! Truly so many amazing compliments from friends and family already asking for a referral. She has an exceptional photographer's eye and knows what will make a great photo.
I would absolutely recommend Mahrou to anyone looking for a fantastic photographer for any occasion!

I reached out to Mahrou at the very last minute to be our photographer from my husband’s 50th birthday party. She was super responsive and we were very fortunate that she was available! She was absolutely lovely to work with and provided such high-quality work. I am very thankful that she was able to capture so many wonderful moments… And she provided a huge range of photos for us to select at the end. I highly recommend Mahrou and would look forward to working with her again.

The experience with Mahrou was great! When we first started discussing on the app about what me and my wife were looking for for our photos, Mahrou thought it would be good if we just spoke on the phone and that weekend, we hashed out the plan of what we were going to do. When we met her, she was kind, respectful to our family with us for the photos, and was kindhearted as well that made the experience great. Would highly recommend her!

I visited downtown Chicago for the first time this month. It was a short trip and I had a limited time to do a photo shoot! I reached out to Mahrou and she was so kind and she was able to accommodate my last-minute request and fit me into her busy schedule for a photo shoot for the following day. Her professionalism and thoughtfulness during the shoot show that she values her clients and is committed to providing a high-quality experience.
I appreciated how patient she was during the shoot, and how she listened to every request I made. Her willingness to go above and beyond to ensure my satisfaction is a testament to her dedication to her craft.
Additionally, Mahrou made me feel comfortable and I especially appreciated her help in directing my poses which shows that she has a great eye for detail and knows how to bring out the best in her clients. My experience with her was exceptional and she delivered stunning photos that I love very much!! Mahrou is definitely a photographer worth considering for anyone in need of a skilled and dedicated professional in downtown Chicago. She is truly a ball of talent and I look forward to working with her soon!
Details: Acting / modeling headshot • Traditional / classic (looking directly at the camera) • Candid (captured in the moment) • Outdoors • Digital or online download • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc.

I reached out around the ends of January to see if I would be able to make an appointment for a birthday photoshoot. I was turning 30 and I wanted to give myself something I can have to look back in a few years. When I reached out to Mahrou I instantly knew she would be able to make my dreams come true and she did. Truly loved the photos she took. She was very professional and didn't mind that I brought 2 friends with me.
