About
I am a Chicagoland Portrait and Event Photographer specializing in Events, High School Senior Portraits, Headshots and Portraits. I aalso specialize in Events, Parties, Birthday Parties, Corporate Events and Corporate Parties. And most recently I got into Quinceanera Photography, Bar and Bat Mitzvahs and Graduation Photos. Ever since I got my first camera I found an incredible connection with Photography, being behind the camera felt very natural to me, being able to create incredible photos. I love what I do and it shows.

Working with Ian Nelson is always an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Ive been working with him for many years on event photography. He always captures the essence of the event perfectly! His eye for composition, light, and detail is truly exceptional. Ian brings a calm professionalism to every project and a collaborative spirit that makes the entire process smooth and enjoyable. What sets Ian apart is his instinct for storytelling through photography. He doesn’t just document—he elevates. His images have a layered, atmospheric quality that invites you in. He’s also incredibly efficient, responsive, and quick getting us the images. We would highly recommend Ian to any designer, architect, or interiors brand looking to capture their work or event at the highest level. He’s a true visual partner and a standout in his field.
