Professional Portrait indoor Studio and outside photos

By admin - Posted on 01 October 2009

On Monday afternoon, Leticia and Jessie came to our photography studio in Chicago for their professional portraits. The couple had requested more of an edgy and contemporary look to their photos, both in posing and editing. We started the session with some indoor photos against a white studio background and then proceeded outside. Luckily we were blessed with a cloudy day and plenty of wind. The outside of our studio provides ample shade, brick walls, and a rusty old fence for a more urban and rural ambiance. It may not look impressive at first, but the inside of our 1000 square foot studio area provides plenty of working room for in studio work and the outside gives us the run of the street for a more city feel to the photos.

Engagement Portrait Session In Libertyville

By admin - Posted on 26 May 2009

This afternoon was a marvelous day for an engagement portrait session through Independence Grove in Libertyville Illinois. The clouds gentle rolled across the sky and a gentle breeze came across the rolling fields. Every different season allows for different types of seasonal poses and use of the foliage.
 
I meet with Jennifer and Mark for their engagement portraits. We walked around the loop in the grove for the standard poses. It amazes me every time I meet with a couple about how different each session is. With the variety in the time of day, the wind, the sun, and the relationship itself, every engagement session is totally different.
 
Mark and Jennifer were both eager and happy to try the different locations and poses. Whether it meant hoping up on the bridge, walking through into the woods (and fighting the prickly pears), or snuggling up next to the cattails, both of these lovely people were quite adaptive to each scene. And Jennifer… I do think GQ and Modern Bride Magazine might actually be calling you for the jpg from today’s portrait session! Just send them my way and I’ll handle the rest! LOL! Click on any photo to view gallery.
 
Congratulations to Jennifer and Mark on your engagement!

Chicago Bridgeport portrait photography session

By admin - Posted on 23 April 2009

Last week, we visited the Chicago Bridgeport (60608) area for a portrait photography session and a tour of our newest photography studio location. We started the day by getting on the Metra Antioch line to Chicago at 7:12am. A few lighting video’s later, we hoped on the Orange line and arrived just after 9 in Chicago Bridgeport.
 
And as fate would dictate to us, on the walk to the studio I spotted “Happiness Delivery”. I don’t want to question the magical intent of the owners, and I cannot vouch for the quality of food or customer service itself, however I did find it interesting and fantastic to see such an inspirational beacon of hope. “This is it”, I thought to myself silently, “this is the moment when ones life takes a turn for the better. This is the point where ones career as an artist catapults into the fast track”. This is the moment where my years of hard work and patience will bring to fruition an outlet far greater than the small lake I had so much grown used to. How did I know? The Happiness Delivery beacon told me!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The area surrounding us on Halsted and 35th was amazing and full of time. All around us were people hustling around, going for walking and generally had a pretty had step of pep in their stride. Our studio was just as imagined. I can’t reveal the details just yet, you are going to have to wait for the studio warming. Given spring is upon us, a photography studio in Bridgeport warming sounds just right!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
After our final viewing, I met up with Yazmin, a local from Lincoln park. We walked about the area, stopping to pose and create a few fine art images along the way. Yazmin was so full of energy and so eager to model. Along our walking tour of the area, I spotted a gorgeous grungy and run down alley next to the church. This spot was fabulous for a modern and elegant portrait of a Quinceanera on her special Cotillion day. She danced in the alleyway, spun in a circle and run through the local park all with a smile and laughter. We ended our session together with some contemporary photos against yet another brick building. With the help of a local small business employee, we moved around a few bins to allow us to have the full alley. With the sun being overhead and a cool wind in the air, we closed the session with many great images!

By admin - Posted on 09 December 2008

This weekend Plum Tree Studio Pet Photography was out with tails a-waggin' in Libertyville, Illinois photographying the annual event called "Photo Op with Santa Paws". Santa Paws was at the "Who's Your Puppy" Salon and Spa on Saturday (December 6th) and Sunday (December 7th). The salon offers pet stylists, relaxation at the spa, accesories, toys, collars, and above all else a knowledgable and friendly staff. I was amazed and pleased to see that every guest was personally greeted and given a tour of the facility. Talk about personalized service! Take a look at their web site and stop over -- and make sure you tell them Agnes from Plum Tree Studio sent you (they'll treat you extra special!).
