Imaginative Studios

Gina and her team are AMAZING! My fiancée and I knew right away we wanted her as our wedding photographer as soon as I saw a friends photos that she had taken earlier before. So of course, she was one of our FIRST vendors we booked! (We looked into over a dozen photogs and met with a hand full).
We recently took our engagement photos and both the fiancée and I were pretty nervous. Both of us were worried since we both think that we’re not very photogenic nor very natural in front of a camera.
We were honest to Gina and told her how nervous we were and she just smiled and said «don’t worry. just enjoy it and i’ll take care of making you guys look awesome» which she totally did! She got started right away and snapped a few photos and had me take a look and even i was amazed «wow Gina you brought the skinny camera today. dang, i look good!». The hour went by so fast and I really enjoyed the session. We got our photos within 2 weeks and Gina and her editor did an AWESOME, AMAZING job.
I can’t wait for her to do her thing on my wedding day! It’s an amazing feeling to have a photographer that you know will not only meet but exceed your expectations.
There are tons of photographers in Chicago but Gina has won over this picky girl’s heart :)

After seeing Gina’s work through a friend’s engagement and wedding pics, I simply could not hire anyone else for my own wedding. My husband hates having his picture taken but Gina was able to get some phenomenal engagement shots of us. Our wedding pics were great as well… when it came time to choose photos for the album it was so hard to pick, I loved them all! Gina is so sweet and kind, and really talented. Looking back the only thing I would change is the formal (posed) shots — I did not come up with a good list of formal shots I wanted in advance, and the transition between ceremony and reception at our venue happened differently than I expected. In all the confusion of that transition, there are pictures that were not taken, that looking back I wish I had. As far as action shots and portraits of the bride and groom, I am extremely satisfied!

Gina is absolutely amazing, not only is she super talented but she’s as sweet as they come. My business partner and I had some head-​shots taken with Gina and we couldn’t be happier with our photos! Her pictures are extremely artistic not your ordinary boring traditional photographs. I’ve already booked a few more sessions for my family and business!

We had Gina take a few baby & family portraits for us after our little guy was born. She did a fantastic job. She was very patient but also very quick – like Marie said, when she’s in action, you don’t realize she’s there. I was 100% thrilled with every photo that was taken.

Gina is sooo great to work with; shes is so sweet and attentive. We were absolutely impressed with her work the minute we saw it. She has such a great eye to take creative and photo journalistic shots. Plus, shes so quick !!
When she’s in action, you dont even notice her. Shes respectful of whats going on and is totally unobtrusive. Yet when you do spot her, you’ll notice that shes often in so many different positions to capture various angles and to give the pics more context and dimension. She really knows how to capture the subject or emotion and bring the pictures to life.
We are in love with all of the pro pictures we have !!
