About me!

 I'm Aida Graff, I specialize in creating stunning, timeless portraits that celebrate the unique connections within your family whether you have pets or not. Serving families throughout the Northwest Suburbs of Chicago, including Lake Zurich, Barrington, Buffalo Grove, Mundelein, Grayslake, Wauconda, and surrounding communities, my goal is to create images that you’ll treasure for a lifetime.

With a lifetime of experience growing up around animals and a passion for family photography, I understand the love, joy, and personality that make every family special. From playful pups and graceful cats to special needs pets, reptiles, birds, and more, I capture the essence of your furry, feathered, or scaly family members. I also work patiently with reactive pets, ensuring a calm, stress-free environment so everyone can feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera.

Even if you don’t have pets, I create relaxed, natural portraits that highlight your family’s unique personality and connections. I offer the flexibility of a fully mobile studio, allowing me to bring professional backdrops and lighting to your home, so your session is convenient, safe, and tailored to your family’s needs.

 I am also happy to travel beyond the local area for sessions additional travel fees may apply, and I’m happy to provide a personalized quote based on distance and session needs. 

I welcome families of all abilities and backgrounds and am proud to be an LGBTQ+ friendly photographer, committed to providing an inclusive, comfortable experience for everyone.

Let’s work together to create beautiful, professional family and pet portraits that tell your story, celebrate your loved ones, and bring joy for years to come.
