EVENTS BIG & SMALL

The Artful Photographer covers Chicago area events big and small. We can capture those critical podium shots and photographs of awards ceremonies, as well as receptions, workshops, demonstrations, product shots, and candids/group shots of participants. Recent conventions and conferences include the American Institute of Archaeologists' (AIA) Annual Meeting (Hyatt Regency, 2008)), the American Philological Association's (APA) Annual Meeting (Hyatt Regency, 2008) and the world's largest educational conference and exhibition, the National Teaching Institute and Critical Care Exposition (NTI) at McCormick Place and the Chicago Hilton (2008). We are listed as vendors with the Merchandise Mart as well as with the prestigious Chicago Club, and have covered city-wide events ranging from grand openings to concerts, from graduations to retirement parties, from birthday parties to fundraisers. Let us know what you need and we will provide a competitive quote.

The Artful Photographer has been around children long enough to know how to catch them at their best – or most interesting! In addition to taking studio portraits, Elizabeth-Anne Stewart is available to come to your location (if in the Chicago area) for Birthday Parties, Christenings, Bar Mitzvahs, Bat Mitzvahs, Holy Communions, Confirmations, Halloween Parties, Christmas Parties and other memorable occasions. She will capture your “precious moments” in print form or on CD, as you prefer.

WEDDINGS

Let The Artful Photographer chronicle your wedding! Elizabeth-Anne Stewart will capture the key moments before the wedding itself as well as the ceremony and reception. She will provide you with an unforgettable record of your special day, including candids, posed shots of individuals and groupings, as well as “creative shots” of bride and groom. As a photo-journalist, The Artful Photographer can create your very own “Wedding Story Book”; if you prefer, you can simply order individual prints or else pay a flat fee for the wedding CD (without re-touching). It is your wedding – you get to choose!

PROFESSIONAL SHOOTS

Whether you are looking for head shots or a professional shoot on location, The Artful Photographer will capture you at your best. Look under Publicity to see Phoenix in action, in multiple poses and in a variety of settings. Or look under Portraits to see the many faces and moods of actress Julie Brock. Whether you are an established actor, musician or model or an aspiring celebrity, The Artful Photographer will create memorable shots for your portfolio and PR needs.

NATURE

The Artful Photographer is a nature lover who has traveled extensively, capturing the world as she sees it! She has a wide range of beautiful images which can be used as "wall art" or as posters, cards, calendars, book illustrations etc. Let her know what you are looking for and she will search her archives for an image to fit!

PETS

Capture your pet's most "purr-fect" image. Freeze the moment as your pup sits still, a model of canine obedience. Laugh at the antics of your furry friend on Candid Camera. The Artful Photographer will capture your pet at its best, providing you with happy memories that last a lifetime. You can bring your pet to the studio, or, for an extra fee, The Artful Photographer will join you at the park or at your home. You supply your pet's favorite toys and treats; the photographer will do the rest.
