Elle Baker Photography

Inspired by your story

I have learned over the years that being passionate about the subject you are capturing is just as important as being passionate about the craft.  For over a decade I have been photographing families both big and small. There hasn't been a session that has been the same, because every family is unique and special in their own way. Inspired by the individual family I'm working with, I shoot candidly and use a lifestyle approach to shooting. To me, lifestyle photography is the 'art of the everyday'. It forces both me and my clients to slow down a bit, be in the moment, and enjoy the session. Every family has a story to tell and it would be an honor to tell yours.  Read some commonly asked questions and answers below.

 I photograph exclusively using natural light, and you have the option of choosing my Homer Glen studio, outdoors, or in your home.  For outdoor sessions, I photograph using the warmest light which is the hour leading up to sunset and shoot at a couple of field locations in Mokena, Illinois.  For indoor home locations, we will schedule sometime in the morning hours or midday and I'm currently servicing the southwest suburbs of Chicago including but not limited to Frankfort, Naperville, and Hinsdale. Large windows and light/neutral colored walls are recommended. For studio sessions, we will schedule at around 10am for the softest light. With neutral tones and glowing window light it is a beautiful space for a session. Read more about locations here.

Here are my favorites from this lifestyle session and as you can see I had a hard time culling the session...
