About 45 minutes north of the studio.
Boutique portrait photography for Champaign
Champaign-Urbana is the largest market we serve, and the work there is distinctly professional. University of Illinois faculty, research staff, physicians at the local health systems, attorneys, founders in the Research Park, and the region's growing consulting and tech community all need current, credible portraits — and they want something better than a phone snapshot cropped into a circle. We bring studio-grade lighting to Champaign offices and produce headshots that hold up in print, on stage, and across an entire company website.
Beyond headshots, Champaign and Urbana families book us for portrait and maternity commissions precisely because we are not a volume studio. Sessions are limited, consultations are unhurried, and the end product is framed artwork rather than a download link. Downtown Champaign gives brick, glass, and murals for editorial work; the older neighborhoods west of downtown offer mature trees and quiet streets; and the campus arboretum area is hard to beat for warm, open evening light.
The drive north is forty-five minutes and we make it often. Champaign commissions can be handled entirely on your schedule: we photograph in the city, present the design consultation online or at our Mattoon studio, and deliver the finished, framed artwork back to you when it's ready to hang.
