We are perfectionists in every way — especially in how we serve our clients. Email responses and image turnaround will always be speedy! If you have a special deadline, We will try to honor it at no extra charge. That’s how we roll — you are important to us!

Kids do things on their own terms. As child photographers, we expect this! We're not upset when your three-year-old has a meltdown or when your son asks to take a picture with our cameras. We absolutely adore kids!

All of the images you see in our portfolio feature REAL people, not trained models. So many of our clients don't feel photogenic at all. Most people we photograph don't know what to do in front of the camera, so it’s our job to be the coach! We’ll help you set up each pose and give you little tips to make you look your best.

With years of experience as professionally-trained photographers and hundreds of sessions under our belts, we are great at anticipating tricky situations and resolving them in advance. For example, we know that sessions go most smoothly if we win the trust of your kids first, so the first thing we do when arriving for your session is get down to their level and play.

If you don’t have perfectly Pinterest-styled outfits, that’s TOTALLY OK! We can create gorgeous images no matter what you’re wearing. BUT, if you’re like us and love to plan, we are happy to connect you to our favorite stylists! They’ll send you clothing tips and sample combos for inspiration, or you can even have them choose your outfits for you.

When you work with Bubble+Spark, you become my extended family. We’ll cheer with you when your baby graduates from kindergarten, and we’ll tear up if you move away from Chicago. We’ve been photographing some of our clients since way back in 2012, and it’s been a joy and a privilege to watch their children grow and change.
