Leroy Oakes is a great destination for portrait photography. There is two barns and lots of great forest preserves with trails providing a wonderful backdrop for your photography session.
Shutterfest
I returned Wednesday from ShutterFest. It was an amazing two day conference that was all things photography! It was actually more like 500 + people who shared a common passion for photography and business. We networked, we photographed, we learned, and we laughed! I met so many amazing new people, and I have a whole new vision for what is to come with my business. The lectures and hands on portions were very informative. I loved learning all about posing from Roberto Valenzuela. Lori Nordstrum did a lecture on bettering your business which was so informative. Thank you to Sal and Taylor Cincotta for hosting such a wonderful event. I can't wait till next year!!
