About
I'm a photojournalist and community storyteller who brings a documentary eye to every shoot. I love capturing people as they actually are, in moments that mean the most to them. My work is deeply rooted in Chicago's communities, organizations, and individuals. I know how to make people feel comfortable in front of a camera, how to find the light in unexpected places, and how to tell a story in a single frame. Whether you're an individual looking for portraits that actually look like you or a nonprofit that needs event coverage with heart, I show up prepared, I listen, and I deliver.

Hired on Thumbtack

We hired NaBeela to photograph an 8U travel baseball game and she did an outstanding job. She was professional, easy to work with, and did a fantastic job capturing the action, energy, and excitement of the game. The quality of the photos exceeded our expectations, and she managed to get great shots of all the players throughout the game. I was especially impressed with her quick turnaround time - the photos were delivered much faster than expected without sacrificing quality. Communication was excellent from start to finish and she made the entire process simple and stress-free. I would not hesitate to recommend her to friends and family, and I expect to use her services again in the future. If you're looking for a talented, reliable photographer, NaBeela is a great choice! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

NaBeela Washington captures confidence and style with precision. The bold colors of the jersey pop against the clean FC Legion Chicago backdrop, creating a sharp, eye-catching contrast. Her lighting and composition highlights personality and pride, turning a simple portrait into a powerful statement.

I came to my portrait session stressed and nervous, headshots can feel high stakes when you're trying to put your best self forward. But by the end of the shoot, I felt completely at home. NaBeela has a way of making you stop performing for the camera and just be yourself.

NaBeela has always been very professional when it came to taking photos of me. She makes sure angles are right and I’m positioned right before just snapping the photo. Her responsiveness was excellent as well. If i had questions or concerns she answered in a timely manner. I will definitely use NaBeela again!

    My background includes visual storytelling, journalism, and photography. I’ve studied composition, natural‑light techniques, and portrait work through both formal education and hands‑on experience. I also bring a journalist’s eye, which helps me create images that feel honest and expressive.

  • How did you get started doing this type of work?

    I started photographing people and community events through my work in journalism and storytelling. Families and organizations began asking me to capture portraits, milestones, and gatherings, and over time, it grew into a dedicated part of my creative practice. I’ve always loved documenting real moments and genuine expression, and portrait photography became a natural extension of that.
