How we work
Eryn Kingsley, Owner & Founder, Legendary Spa
The Studio has been a wonderful partner throughout my journey as an entrepreneur, business owner, and mother. The entire Studio team and their amazing photographers (Hannah and Andres, especially) have been there from day one—literally showing up to shoot photos for our first site during construction. They’ve been wonderful partners for off-site activations with some of our influencer friends and brands, shot family photos during their mini sessions, and provided professional photos for our team and products. If you’re looking to work with a truly kind, welcoming, inclusive, and professional team that can scale with your business and life needs, I highly recommend this wonderful team.
Ali Tamashiro, Marketing Director, Images Med Spa
I can't recommend The Studio Chicago enough—it's truly a game-changer for anyone seeking a top-notch photography studio and talented photographers. Since 2022, I've had the privilege of working with Ali Stone and the team at The Studio Chicago on our editorial, timeless beauty campaigns at Images Med Spa.
The Studio offers not only the perfect creative environment but also a sense of community that’s invaluable. Through The Studio Chicago, I've connected with amazing local creatives, collaborated on exciting projects, and found a place that consistently elevates our brand.
Teddy Heidt, Founder and Principle, The Gauge Collective
We absolutely love our partnership with The Studio Chicago team! As a growing business focused on digital and social media marketing, our content shoots at The Studio give us the opportunity to capture elevated and impactful assets for our current client base.
Every aspect of working with The Studio team—from booking to shoot execution and post-production—is seamless and an all-around pleasure. If you haven't worked with this team yet, you are missing out!
Dana Gordon, Founder, Dana Rebecca Designs
We've been working with The Studio Chicago for several years, and we can't speak highly enough about the space, the team, and the exceptional support we've received.
Ali is always incredibly responsive and supportive, helping us meet our business needs. Hannah, a truly talented photographer, brings incredible creativity to every photoshoot, and her vision has been invaluable. Ty is consistently helpful, and we've also had a fantastic experience working with Andres.
The entire team is amazing, and we've always felt welcomed and supported in their space.
Joyce Eid: Senior Manager, Social Media at Arhaus
Working with The Studio Chicago has been a breath of fresh air. Ali and her team are so responsive, agile, accommodating, and personable.
They consistently over deliver on projects for us and genuinely work to always exceed our expectations. We are grateful for their partnership as a natural extension of our own team!
Paloma Lopes, Client
We can’t thank The Studio Chicago enough for capturing our family’s wild and wonderful moments over the years!
From birth announcements to Christmas cards and birthday parties, they’ve been with us through it all, and we’ve loved every minute. The team is not just talented—they’re patient magicians! They know how to bring out the personality in our little ones (and even our dogs) and they somehow managed to make this postpartum mom, who would rather hide behind the camera, look good! A huge shoutout to Andres, who has a special way of making our now 4-year-old feel like a star. His ability to connect with kids is truly magic, and we’re he’s earned a spot in our family as a dear friend!
The studio is gorgeous, and the creativity of Andres and Hannah is off the charts. We can’t wait to create more memories with them in the years to come!
Tamara Edwards, Founder and CEO, TE&Co.
As a PR & Communications professional, I've worked with countless studio rentals and creative talent over the years, but The Studio Chicago is in a league of its own. Their dedication to client relationships is unparalleled.
From the welcoming atmosphere to their insightful real-time support, ideas, and suggestions, their team truly cares about delivering an enhanced client experience and quality work product. And their signature bright photography style? In the 100+ shoots we've done with them, it has consistently elevated both ours and our clients' brands and external visibility — and exceeded our expectations every time.
Gia Tummillo, Marketing & Events Director, CS Magazine
I’ve had the pleasure of working with The Studio Chicago on several projects for brands like Porsche, Canada Goose, Sidney Garber, and many others. They consistently deliver best-in-class photo and video content that our clients are thrilled with.
Beyond exceptional talent, Ali and her team can always be relied on for professionalism, great energy, and seamless execution in a variety of luxury, client-facing environments. Highly recommend!
Cesci West, Founder, Balance by CW
The Studio Chicago is truly the most aesthetic studio in Chicago. I’ve had the pleasure of hosting events and branding photoshoots there, and every experience has been incredible.
The space is stunning, thoughtfully designed, and versatile, making it perfect for any occasion. On top of that, the entire team is amazing, professional, welcoming, and always going above and beyond to ensure everything runs smoothly.
Dana Gordon, Founder, Dana Rebecca Designs
As for the space itself—WOW. It's absolutely beautiful. We've shot in all sorts of Chicago weather, and every session has been flawless.
Unlike other studios where lighting can be unpredictable, we always know The Studio Chicago has perfect lighting, even when the weather is unpredictable.
We're so thankful to Ali and the entire team, and we're excited for many more shoots together!
Ali Reff, Owner, Alice & Wonder
The Studio Chicago has become a second home to our small business. Not only is the space versatile enough for us to use shoot after shoot, the team at the Studio has taken our content and website photography to another level.
Hiring a team member from The Studio Chicago isn’t just hiring a photographer or videographer, it’s hiring a creative partner. They’re truly invested in making each of our projects a success. We’ve been grateful to have them as an extension of our A&W family!
