Danielle
(22)

I am a Chicago-based photographer who loves traveling, animals, coffee, and taking as many pictures as I possibly can! My style is candid, but I can also set up a great posed shot when needed. I love bright colors, dreamy atmospheres, and a couple who loves to laugh and have fun with each other! I think that always makes for the best photos.

I am obsessed with exploring our globe with my camera in hand. I love the color purple, crazy hats, funk music, and all things outdoors! My photography style is candid, in the moment, and has a strong emphasis on showcasing the landscape and location we are in. I stick to natural colors with a hint of vibrancy and color.

Amanda

I'm Amanda and I am beyond excited you have found me, my work, and are considering me to capture your adventure! I am an avid hiker, jeep beeper, craft beer nerd, and most days you can find me planning a trip around a live concert. My photography style is all about capturing who YOU are, by keeping it relaxed, casual, and authentic. Being outdoors inspires my photography style, and I hope that it inspires you as well. You can find my work featured on "Wandering Weddings", "Wedventure Magazine", and "Photobug Community".

I am a dedicated and enthusiastic photographer that has an eye for aesthetics, details, and editing. Through my photography I try to encapsulate the moment and the person authentically. My style of photography ranges from bright and airy to dark and dramatic, depending on the feeling I chose to capture. I have shot for red carpet events, local businesses and was featured in the Just Water Mother's Day campaign. I have also started a blog where I showcase much of my work as I collaborate with different brands.

I’d describe my photography style as the perfect blend of editorial, photojournalistic, and documentary approaches. My goal as an artist is to tell a story that feels true to you—capturing candid emotions and genuine moments while delivering images that are both timeless and stylish. I strive to create definitive portraits that showcase who you are in that moment, with a touch of artistic flair.

Erica
New to Flytographer!

I'm a passionate wedding and lifestyle photographer with an eye for capturing heartfelt, joyful, and authentic moments. With a flair for storytelling and a love for meeting new people, I make every session feel like a fun adventure! My photography style blends fine art with naturally organic moments. I focus on creating images that are vibrant, emotional, and uniquely tailored to each client’s story, ensuring their memories are captured beautifully and authentically.
