“I first saw the Instagram posts of Studio T Hair Salon. I have been wanting to make an appointment for over a year but was a bit nervous about getting a topper. I finally made the appointment and from the moment I made the appointment Tina and her team made me feel welcome, and heard. I am over the moon with the quality of this topper! Tina's amazing cut, color and style of the topper on me just exceeded my expectations beyond words!! So incredibly THANKFUL!!! I am so happy with the results, I even sent my sister to her and she too got a topper and is thrilled as well! Thank you to Tina and her team!!!“

“We had the pleasure of working with Toplight Photography for our wedding. It was overall truly a great experience. From booking the date to discussing what type of photo style we would like, it was a seamless process! We also received our sneak peek photos quickly after the wedding as well as our entire wedding album. We loved working with Toplight. They made my husband and I feel very comfortable throughout our entire wedding day as well as our engagement session beforehand. Highly recommend and we will definitely be using them in the future!“

“We’ve had the pleasure of working with Jennifer on several of our film and video productions, and she’s been an absolute rock star every single time. She’s incredibly professional, reliable, and adaptable, even when things get hectic or plans change on the fly — which they always do on set!

One of the things we appreciate most is how great she is at keeping our talent calm, comfortable, and confident, no matter the situation. That positive, reassuring energy makes a huge difference and helps everything run more smoothly. On top of that, her special effects makeup skills are next level — she’s pulled off some seriously impressive transformations for us.

If you’re looking for someone who’s not just talented but also a true team player, Jennifer is the one you want on your crew. Highly recommended!“

“We couldn’t be happier with our experience with H Photography and Doru! From our very first meeting, Doru impressed us with his professionalism, warmth, and genuine interest in getting to know us as a couple. He took the time to understand our wedding photography vision—what moments mattered most to us, what style we loved, and how we wanted the day to feel in photos. That level of personal attention meant so much and made the entire process—from our engagement session to the big day—feel seamless and enjoyable.
Doru’s expertise in journalistic photography perfectly aligned with our desire for photos that felt real, emotional, and timeless. He has a rare gift for capturing the in-between moments—the laughter, the quiet glances, the joy on our guests' faces. Every image feels alive, and our photos tell the full story of the day in such an authentic and beautiful way.
Our engagement session was a great preview of what was to come. Doru helped us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera, which really shows in the natural, relaxed photos we received. On our wedding day, he was everywhere without ever being intrusive—present, perceptive, and always ready to capture a meaningful moment.
The final product was beyond anything we imagined. The photos themselves are stunning, and the leather-bound photo album he created is a true work of art. Flipping through its pages brings back every emotion from our wedding day—it’s something we’ll treasure forever.
If you’re looking for a photographer who listens, understands your vision, and brings it to life with artistry and heart, we wholeheartedly recommend H Photography and Doru. His experience, creativity, and genuine care shine through in every single photo, and we’re so grateful for the memories he preserved for us.“

“Randy is simply the best!! He was so easy to work with from beginning to end and gave us great ideas when we weren't quite sure how to pose. On the day of our wedding, I actually got stuck in the elevator with Randy and his team on the way to my first look with my husband! They made sure I didn't freak out (too much) and still made sure we got all of our pictures we wanted. It was even chilly during our photos and Randy let me borrow his jacket between shots so l wouldn't get too cold! We are so happy with how our pictures came out and are happy to have them forever“

“Jared has been our go-to photographer for our team since 2018. He makes all of us look amazing to the point that we want to share the photos on our website, social media and other marketing materials. In the past, we would take photos ourselves. But the process in which Jared and his team take us through to enhance our natural traits is second to none. I highly recommend Jared to anyone who wants to look their best.“

“Hands down best photographer out there!!! Ever since I found Agata on Google for a maternity shoot, I knew I was going to be a returning customer! I came back again a few months later for my newborn’s photoshoot. Once again amazing experience! I know for sure I’m going to be a lifetime customer for Agata for as long as she will be in business! I cannot express how beautiful the photos come out every time we do a photoshoot with her! She is beyond talented, down to earth, and super patient especially with pets and newborns! I would highly recommend Agata to all moms-to-be, families, and newborns to have their photoshoot with her and only her! Super grateful that I found my forever photographer!“

“We booked a Fresh 48 session to have pictures of our newborn and family taken at the hospital after delivery. Jake was an absolute pleasure to work with from beginning to end! Booked the date in advance based on my due date but ended up being induced two weeks earlier and he was super accommodating and understanding. During the session, Jake was extremely patient with our rambunctious toddler and captured our family and baby beautifully. He was quick to provide some wonderful sneak peeks and delivered the full gallery a very short time later. Truly cannot say enough good things about him! We look forward to him documenting more family memories and milestones for us in the future!“

“Julia is very professional photographer that delivers the best service and skills that you can wish for. Super happy with the results of pregnancy and newborn photos. Highly recommend ?“

“David did an excellent job with my high-end Chicago headshots. As a photographer, it’s stressful being in front of the camera, but he made it easy and comfortable. I got the shots I needed, and his studio is fantastic. Highly recommend.“

“I am the owner of Moving N Grooving DJs and I worked with Lavita this past weekend and they are fantastic. Highly Recomend“

“Essence was truly phenomenal for our September wedding! Joe was our photographer and Adrien was our videographer, and both did an incredible job. We absolutely love all of our photos and are obsessed with our wedding video. They captured the day so beautifully and gave us moments we’ll cherish forever.

We also used their formalwear company and highly, highly recommend them! I especially cannot say enough great things about Gerry. We had finalized the groomsmen shoes, belts, and tie colors well in advance. When my husband went with his dad and brothers to pick up their tuxes, I was on FaceTime to see everything and I immediately felt overwhelmed because it looked completely different than what we had originally chosen.

Gerry went above and beyond to make it right. He worked so hard to accommodate my wants, switching every pair of shoes from brown to black, changing the tie colors entirely, and even giving us belt options plus suspenders so we could try everything together. He was patient, kind, and genuinely cared about making sure we were happy. After everything he did, I felt 10,000 times better, and the tuxes turned out amazing. I’m so grateful for his dedication and attention to detail!“

“We used Fred Fox Studios for a photo booth at our recent event in Schaumburg, Illinois, and it was a huge hit! Rick was our attendant, and he was fantastic--super friendly and made sure everyone had a blast. The booth had tons of fun props, and the photos turned out great. Really made our night special. Highly recommend!“
