"Mark's work is simply beautiful and timeless. He captured expressions of my child that I will cherish forever. Mark and his staff are so gracious, friendly...and patient (my son wasn't exactly in his finest moods!) The most beautiful pictures in my house are from Mark Brown Photography. I highly recommend Mark to all of my friends who are looking for photos that they will appreciate for years to come."   Lisa Souter, Chicago, IL

What if my child is sick the day of the session?

Our session fee is non-refundable but you can change the date if illness or emergencies arise. There will not be an additional charge. We understand the need for flexibility when working with children.

What if my children are not in a good mood or are behaving badly the day of the session?

You can always come back for another session.  There is never a charge for an additional session if things don't go according to plan. 

How long does a session take?

Sessions can take anywhere from 30 minutes to two hours or longer if needed. We also allow ample time for getting to know each other, playing, feeding, diaper changes and more.

How long before I see the images from the session and get framed photos?

You can view the photos usually within two weeks. Framed portraits take about four weeks. Rushes for special occasions are available.

Where do your sessions take place?

We offer sessions in the comfort of our Roscoe Village studio at 2144 W. Roscoe Street in Chicago as well as outside locations throughout the United States. Please call us for travel details.

What is the best clothing to wear for my photo session?

Clothing is best kept simple - solids are best,  and variations of the same color work well when you have more than one person in the photo. Its best not to have bold patterns,  stripes or polka dots.   If you are fair skinned,  white can make you look washed out. Timeless,  classic clothing is best. Please give the studio a call if you have more questions.
