Edyta came highly recommended through a mom's group. We had the best experience working with her from start to finish! Her warm personality and creativity really shines in capturing the best shots. She also made our selection process super easy and helped us create a beautiful framed gallery wall which no other photographer had done before!

I had the most amazing experience with this photographer. Edyta is as good as it gets. I'm always super nervous before family pictures but she made us feel so relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera. My kids loved her! The pictures turnout out outstanding. I'm going to use her again for our next family pictures.

We have used Edyta for a couple years now for our family photos and she is simply the best!! She is able to capture the best action shots with genuine laughter and energy with our two toddlers - no easy task! She is easy to communicate with and goes out of her way to help personalize and optimize the experience. Thank you Edyta!!

We love working with Edyta! My favorite part about working with her, besides her being an awesome person, is her quality work and the LIGHTING! To me, photography is all about capturing beautiful lightning and I can always spot that miss with more amateur photographers. Edyta is great with kids and is very patient when my three year old refuses to have her picture taken. I have no idea how she gets the shots she does with an unwilling participant but they are always amazing! Edyta is also very responsive in scheduling and sticks to the timeline she gives for the return of photos. Highly recommend

My 13 year old daughter recently had a wonderful photo session with Edyta in Chicago's West Loop neighborhood. Edyta made her feel very comfortable with her cheerful, fun personality! We walked around and Edyta found some very unique back drops with awesome punches of color, like a red door, an overpass over-looking the Chicago skyline, an industrial looking building that was perfect with my daughter's "cool clothes". She captured the mood and also my daughter's personality. Her editing skills are beyond amazing! Skies were gray that day, but the photos are vibrant and yet natural/believable. My

Edyta is amazing! She is not only a talented photographer but is so conscience with my kids. She takes her time and makes sure the kids are all happy and parents are too. Other photographers tried to rush my shoot but she takes her time to get the correct shot with efficiency and grace. We keep coming back because she takes the best photos and works well with our family on time and location. My children adore her and it is so refreshing to work with a professional who is also a parent, which definitely adds to her talent. We cherish our pictures from Edyta.

Fantastic experience with Edyta. very personable and accommodating!
This was our first photoshoot with our 7 month old and I was blown away with the pictures we received- also earlier than expected which was a wonderful surprise.
Our final photos were shared online so we could access them for viewing/send to family members. I appreciated that she cherry picked only the best pictures, otherwise I would have focused on all the 'bad' and 'awkward' pictures of myself.
Highly recommend!!

Edyta is the total package. She shoots absolutely stunning photos; she is truly an artist. I was stunned by the number of perfectly clear, picturesque, and intriguing shots she got of our family with a wiggly 8 month old in the picture. But, on top of that, she is very personable and it's obvious she cares about getting to know her clients and their needs. She cares about her work and does it right. She is the best photographer I've seen when it comes to quality of photos as well as dealing with the business side.

My husband, daughter (14 months) and I asked Edyta to take outdoor family photos. Let me preface with this: she is one of the most talented photographers I know!
Contact and communication was easy and pleasant with Edyta. Before the actual photo shoot she came to our home to discuss our vision and also gave very helpful outfit suggestions. She also found us the perfect locations to meet for our shooting in Chicago.
We met at a park and my daughter was slightly grumpy at the beginning, but Edyta managed to coax her out of her shell and was very patient with her. You can tell that Edyta is a mom

I have been looking for a photographer for quite some time, but never found anyone that put me at ease. My wife and I have two beautiful girls age 1 & 3, and being 21 months apart they are a handful. They are also going through that shy phase. So I needed a photographer that could handle two rambunctious girls, but, one who could also be warm and inviting so my girls were not afraid.
Enter Edyta. She has children of her own, so knows how to handle the wild toddlers! She has such a caring personality that my girls immediately took to her. They loved being photographed by her.
