Shalimar B Photography

If you're looking for newborn photos, Shalimar is the best! She was very easy to work with and flexible with our baby's schedule. The photos were great--candid shots that looked real and captured the essence of our family, no canned poses of babies as flowers or fruit.

She took my senior photos and I could not be happier with the results! As someone who is nervous being photographed Shalimar made sure I felt comfortable and confident and was able to show that in the photos. We took photos in studio as well as places I wanted. She helped me feel really beautiful for my special year!

Out-of-state parent here (Oregon). My daughter had a 'belated' Senior photo shoot as she was H.S. Junior when the pandemic began (and life was complicated for a while). Found Shalimar via Googling, and besides her bright, bold, brilliant and engaging style photography that I was looking for my daughter, Shalimar offered makeup and hair!! My daughter's Senior photos were scheduled within one month -- I appreciate her willingness to do an outdoor shoot mid-December (as mom had to have a Chicago skyline shot!), and take care of my daughter as if her own. Prior to my daughter's photo shoot day Shalimar sent a questionnaire to her to learn more about my daughter's personality, likes, etc. which in turn Shalimar was able to offer suggestions for clothing, etc. and catch my daughter's character and personality best in her photos. Enjoyed the sneak peek. Shalimar met with me and my daughter (who lives 45 min SW of Chicago) via Zoom a few weeks later so she wouldn't have to drive back and we enjoyed perusing the photos together -- I even teared up a little (and I'm not one to do that!). Received the photos back today by email and couldn't be happier with my experience. Thank you, Shalimar! I will definitely keep you in mind for the future and anyone who needs a Chicago photographer!

Shalimar was very friendly and professional. She made it such a fun experience for my daughter, (she had a blast) and the senior pictures turned out amazing. I would highly recommend her.
