Hello! I'm Somaya, but you can call me Soo an experienced photographer with a passion for capturing enduring moments. Over the past 7 years, I've gained global experience, from bustling New York to scenic Europe, and from the vibrant cultures of Spain to the luxurious landscapes of Dubai and Saudi Arabia. During this time, I've had the privilege of photographing hundreds of sessions. My journey into photography began at the age of 12 when my brother gifted me my first camera, igniting a lifelong dedication to this art form. Specializing in newborn, wedding, product, and food photography, I thrive on capturing genuine emotions and creating images that evoke cherished memories. The most fulfilling part of my work is hearing clients say, 'We truly love and appreciate what you've captured for us.' Let's collaborate and create unforgettable moments together!

How did you get started with photography

I started at at very young age and took a few classes in high school before trying to attend engineering school after high school. I realized I was going to be a terrible engineer so I shifted focus back into photography, I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Photography in 2013.

What do you love about your job?

I love the freedom of being a freelancer and being my own boss. I love creating completely over the top magazine worthy images for clients.

What are some of your favorite places in Chicago to take photographs?

I love shooting at the Palmer House and the Chicago History Museum.
