MNPhotoStudios — Local services in Chicago

We’ve worked with Miguel twice now — first for our engagement photos in 2021, and most recently for family photos with our 1-year-old — and we couldn’t be happier we chose to work with him again. After our first experience, we never even considered looking for another photographer. Miguel is incredibly kind, professional, and talented, and working with him just feels easy.

During our most recent shoot in June '25, it was an extremely hot day and Miguel could tell the conditions weren’t right — especially for our kid. As a true professional (and parent himself) he suggested we reschedule, at no cost, to ensure we’d get the best results....and that's what we got. The second session went perfectly, and Miguel was amazing with our toddler — patient, upbeat, and somehow capturing incredible photos even when she was fussy and on the move - even with better temperatures/conditions. He's no rookie and he is prepared for every situation.

His creativity, flexibility, and eye for beautiful locations and natural moments are unmatched and only come with extensive experience. We consider Miguel part of the family at this point, and we’ll work with him as long as he’s willing to tolerate us! His work speaks for itself, and we’re so grateful to...

The BEST photo shoots, photographer, and prices! This was my 2nd time purchasing a family photoshoot with MNphotostudios. I found Miguel on Groupon in 2022 & purchased a deal for family holiday photos with our new baby (5months at the time of shoot). We are in Woodstock & weren't too thrilled about going downtown but it was more than worth it! He was SO wonderful getting the best behavior shots & reactions of our daughter that we purchased a full hour family holiday shoot this year with our 2 year old daughter & another new baby (10months for shoot). Once again pictures are phenomenal & it's beyond hard to choose which to buy! Prices are very reasonable, but with nearly 115 shots & about 100 of them excellent, it's hard to choose. We aren't made of money so we can't buy ALL the pictures 😁. Regardless, we are buying MANY & giving the access link to friends/family to get more if they want. Having access to all the photos for a year is perfect to give others a chance to look, download, & buy. Miguel is calm, relaxed, personable, & professional. He's a pleasure to work with. I will be doing more photo shoots with him & my extended family in the future. I entirely recommend MNphotostudios for any...

I cannot say enough about Miguel (our photographer). I know this is a very busy time of the year for all photographers and I spoke to a number of them. However, making the client feel like you are doing them a favor because you are very busy at the moment is not good for business. I finally came across this studeio's website and I was impressed by their work. Finally, I came accross this studio's website and I really liked what I saw. So, I sent an email and left a voicemail not really expecting nay contact. To my surprise Miguel called. He was professional, compassionate, and eager to satisfy his clients. I had a number of questions in regard to how I wanted the studio to look, etc. The entire time Miguel listened carefully and respectfully gave me his input. He came very highly (highly, highly), recommended and I can certainly see why. Not only did he take great photos, not only was he excited to do the shoot, but he was also very good with my fussy 17 month old who could not sit still. As if this is not enough reason to hire Miguel, his prices are just as beautiful...
