Oh how time does fly! My goal as a portrait photographer is to create photos that preserve time and capture your individuality. Since I am building my portrait portfolio, I am offering my portrait sessions at a reduced rate for a limited time. Please don't be fooled by my prices, I push myself to make every photo session special and create high quality photos.

This is my passion and I strive tirelessly to make portraits that capture your unique personality. At the end of the day, my goal is to make choosing your favorite photo from your session pleasantly challenging.

When I have time to do some personal work, I usually find myself enjoying long walks on the beach with my camera in tow. Most of these images are from my trips to Waukegan Municipal Beach. These images help to remind me of the fleeting nature of time. With each season, the natural landscape transforms accordingly.
I am seldom uneasy being alone since I desire the feeling of solitude. The true dilemma can stem from finding a space where I can be alone. I have found my solitude in going on walks in the downtown areas of Peoria, IL, and Waukegan, IL. In the past, I like most people would envision a scene evoking this feeling to be perhaps a peaceful beach or forest.
Photography provides me with a constant reminder of the fleeting nature of time. When doing my photography, I sometimes have to remind myself of this fact. No two moments are exactly alike and as a result replicating an image is nearly impossible. If I had skipped out on taking these shots when they presented themselves, the moment and the scene would have been loss.
I enjoy most doing wedding and family photography, but I am versatile enough in my craft to fit nearly any of your photographic needs. In fact, I have photographed everything from birthday parties to headshots. Yes, it's a welcomed opportunity to get outside of Waukegan from time to time for photography work.

Dylan was a pleasure to work with. We chose him last year to photograph my daughters quinceaƱera, and he did not disappoint. Received our pictures quickly, and loved them.

After our daughter was born, Dylan took our first set of family photographs- this was no easy feat with a nine-month old and cattle dog. Dylan is communicative, professional, flexible and patient.

I've used Dylan for several real estate photo shoots. He has always been prompt and takes great photos. He is able to use photoshop to add blue skies to make the exterior pictures look fantastic! Thanks, Dylan!

Dylan was absolutely phenomenal ! We agreed to a 30 minute mini session that quickly tuned into almost 2 hours . Not due to us but he wanted to assure he had the perfect shot , lightening , etc. for price I paid , I should have been charged 75% more. He did an amazing job on our wedding invite photos ! Not only did I reschedule FOUR times due to my husbands job , but he never turned me down. I never paid an extra dollar for a reschedule or a cancellation. He was great! He made the shoot fun and funny ! Highly recommend him !

Dylan has been taking my family's pictures for 4 years now and we plan on seeing him for many years to come. Our pictures are always phenomenal and Dylan's attention to detail is excellent. He's also great at getting my kids to cooperate and gets great pictures of them every time.
