Photographers near Aurora

“Larry did an exceptional job taking pictures of the outside of our building for an architectural portrait! He responded within hours of our initial inquiry, researched our location to find the best time of day for the best lighting, and he was at our site to complete the job within two days. We had stringent corporate standards that Larry bent over backward to accommodate, and we couldn't be happier with his professionalism. 5 star: I would recommend for your local business!“

“We had an amazing engagement photo session and couldn’t be happier with the experience! From start to finish, it was fun, relaxed, and so well organized. Jola made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera and captured our personalities beautifully. The photos turned out absolutely stunning! Better than we could have imagined. I’m originally from Chicago and she was able to come to Las Vegas to capture our photos! Highly recommend to anyone looking for engagement photos“

“Lindsay is great to work with. She made us laugh and the pictures came out great! She is great with kids.“

“Kristen is such a fantastic photographer! She was so fun and easy to work with and somehow managed to get the most precious photos of all four of my young children looking happy and engaged in our family photos. We got so many wonderful photos in the perfect mini session. And she even had delicious hichews all the way from Japan for my kids at the end. It was the best experience! I can only hope that she returns to Naperville to take our photos again!“

“I had an exceptional experience working with Mila for my professional headshots, and I truly can’t recommend her enough. From the very first interaction, Mila was incredibly professional, responsive, and organized. Everything was clearly communicated in advance, the session ran exactly on time, and my schedule was fully respected—which I greatly appreciated.

What sets Mila apart is how personal and thoughtful the experience feels. She took the time to understand what I needed the headshots for and the professional image I wanted to convey. During the session, she made me feel completely comfortable and confident, providing clear guidance on posing and expressions without ever making it feel forced or awkward. Her calm, friendly approach makes the entire process enjoyable.

Mila is extremely efficient with time while still delivering outstanding quality. The session was well-paced, productive, and focused, and the results exceeded my expectations. She has an incredible eye for lighting, angles, and detail, and it truly shows in the final images. The headshots are polished, modern, and authentic—exactly what I was hoping for.

If you’re looking for a photographer who is professional, personable, and respectful of your time while delivering exceptional results, Mila is the one. I’m beyond happy with my headshots and would absolutely work with her again. Highly recommend!“

“I can’t recommend Charleen and her team enough! I was selling my home and knew I needed great pictures if I wanted to sell fast. When I thought my home was ready to sell and picture worthy, I reached out to Charleen. We did a quick FaceTime walkthrough where she made tons of suggested changes on top of what I had already done. After completing them she came out for the shoot and continued to make more modifications. When she was done my home was completely transformed and looked better than it had the entire time I lived there. Her pictures turned out incredible and caused my home to blow up with people desperate to see it, many willing to write offers based on just the pictures. My home was under contract in 3 days, which could have been sooner except we had so many showings we couldn’t fit them all in. I’m thinking of hiring her to do pictures at my new home just so she can come stage it. Seriously, she is amazing. Hire her if you want your home to stand out from others on the market. Pay the extra for a zoom consult in advance“

“Jess did such a beautiful job on our pregnancy announcement/maternity pictures, I’ll cherish them forever! She even got our dog to pose perfectly for the photos. Can’t wait to use her again in the future!“

“Melissa was easy to work with! She works to engage each person and get the best pictures possible. I have worker with her for both professional and personal photos! I highly recommend her!“

“Rachel provided exceptional service and communication through the entire process. The photography quality is top tier. She was extremely patient and informative with my family. She took time to make small talk. I could really tell she enjoys her craft.“

“Glenn Angeles Photography did an amazing job on my daughter's senior pictures. We are so happy on how they turned out? They were also very reasonably priced. I would definitely recommend them for your next special event!“

“As a special needs parent, experiences like this often feel out of reach. So many “once-in-a-lifetime” childhood moments can be overwhelming, overstimulating, or simply not built with our kids in mind. You learn to quietly grieve the memories you worry your child may miss out on. That’s why the Magical Santa Experience at Mettler Portraits means more to our family than words can fully express.

From the moment we arrived, it was clear that every detail had been thoughtfully and lovingly designed. The atmosphere was truly magical, yet calm and sensory friendly, soft lighting, gentle pacing, and a warm, welcoming environment that allowed my child to feel safe and at ease. Nothing felt rushed or forced. Instead, the experience unfolded in a way that honored my child exactly as they are, which made all the difference.

Julie is the heart of this experience. Her kindness, patience, and genuine understanding shine through in everything she does. She met my child where they were, followed their cues, and created space for real connection rather than expectations. As a parent who is used to explaining, apologizing, or bracing for things not to work out, it was incredibly emotional to feel so seen and supported. Julie’s talent goes far beyond photography. She has an extraordinary gift for working with children and creating moments of true magic.

The photos themselves are breathtaking. They aren’t just pictures; they are magical keepsakes that capture joy, wonder, and authenticity. Each image makes my heart happy in a way that’s hard to describe. These are the memories every parent dreams of having proof that our children deserve and can have beautiful, meaningful experiences too.

I am endlessly grateful for Julie and for Mettler Portraits. She has created something truly special for families who so often feel overlooked. This experience gave us not only stunning photographs, but also a memory filled with warmth, acceptance, and joy…one we will treasure forever. ?“

“I needed some professional photos for my website (I’m an art teacher), and Travis did an exceptional job (my friends and family were blown away!). He was fun and creative during the shoot, and got me the final edited versions within days. He’s also photographed my band and other bands in the area, and his skills with a camera absolutely capture the energy, subtlety, and passion of each moment. I absolutely recommend his work for whatever capacity you require beautiful professional photographs!“
