Jen's Modeling Session

Jen recently moved to Chicago and wanted to enter a career in modeling. She came to Audrey kelleR phoTography to have us shoot images for and create a comp card.

We chose to photograph her both in the studio and outside to show versatility and a range of positions.

Check out some of the shots that made her card and contact us today if you would like to schedule a portrait session!

Newborn Granger Portrait Session

A couple of months ago we featured Kiya and David's maternity photos and we're happy to show off their newborn baby boy Granger who was born in January. He is so beautiful and we look forward to seeing him grow.

We're so excited they are participating in the Sweet Pea Portrait Program so we'll get to see 4 sessions of Granger throughout his first year of life. Newborn is the first session, followed by 3-4 months, 6-7 months and they will come back on his first birthday to round out the program. Then they will receive a custom book featuring Granger's first year!

Check back in a few months to see how Granger is growing up.

Contact us for more information about the Sweet Pea program, it makes a great baby shower gift for mothers-to-be!

Pet Portraits

A few of our clients hired the studio to do these great pet portraits for Christmas gifts back in Dec. My oh my, did we have a great time with these amazing animals! Luckily our commercial building is a pet friendly space so we had no problems with these models walking the halls (actually, we hear the neighbors dogs barking right now!)

Above you'll see the adorable yellow lab, Jasmine and below are two beautiful persian cats, Somona and Logan. We just wanted to snuggle up with them because they are so cute and fuzzy! We love their lions cuts!

Pet portraits make a great gift for the pet lover in your life so contact us if you'd like to schedule a session.

Hilary's Boudoir Session

Here are a couple of our favorite photos from Hilary's boudoir shoot. We loved the way her eyes looked behind the birdcage of this vintage hat she was wearing from our costume collection here at the studio.

We always want to tailor the boudoir sessions to show the unique woman in the photo. We do this by sending a quiz to each gal so we can get to know her better and also recommend bringing any props that have to do with their personality.

She's an amazing bass player so we had her bring her bass to the shoot to get this real sassy image!

Check out the Me.Boudoir website for more samples of our boudoir work! Or email us to book your own session!

WPPI

Every year for the last four years, Audrey has attended the WPPI (Wedding & Portrait Photographers International) convention in Las Vegas. This year she brought along Jeanette Bond, the marketing director for Audrey kelleR phoTography. The two attended the 30th anniversary of the convention last week along with 14,000 other photographers from 35 different countries worldwide.

The team is pictured above with Mark Fensome, a European Product Specialist for Canon.

With a week full of business classes, photography and marketing seminars, and the tradeshow, they brought back a lot of knowledge and new found inspiration. This new information can help create better photos, business practices and improved experiences for our clients. We're excited to put their new ideas into motion!

To any other photographers out there, we highly recommend becoming a part of this amazing organization and attending the convention next year in February 2011!

Tracy's Boudoir Photos

We're so excited to show you Tracy's fabulous pin-up images! She was one of the first Me.Boudoir Premiere Party attendees who took advantage of the "one-night-stand" Valentine promotion.

Tracy is a hula dancer and loves the 1940s pin-up era. She brought in some of her favorite vintage images of Varga girls as inspiration and we selected a few to recreate in sailor and Hawaiian costumes. Our favorite image is above with a statuesque pose showing off her beautiful long legs.

Check out the Me.Boudoir website for other new images we posted and additional information on how to book your own session!

Kristin and Eric's Wedding

We photographed Kristin and Eric's wedding last April but we have been busy around here and we're just now getting the photos up! They live in Florida so a lot of their planning was via email, but we were always excited to see them when they came to town.

They chose some romantic venues that made for beautiful images despite the rain! We started out at Hotel Allegro where they got ready. The picture above was taken just after they saw each other for the first time on their wedding day.

Then to keep dry, we headed to Union Station for the bride and groom walk where we were able to get grand photos with the magnificent backdrop.

The ceremony and reception were at Fulton's on the River, where we captured Eric's mother wiping her tears while her son stands in the background.

We hope you enjoy some of our favorite photos. Check out our facebook album for more!
