Welcome to Mark Romine Portrait Photography

Chicago portrait photographer Mark Romine has been a professional photographer for over 20 years serving Chicago, Cook County, Bloomington, McLean County, Champaign County, Peoria County, Springfield, Sangamon County, Decatur and Macon county.

With a background in corporate photography doing assignments for ad agencies, design firms, universities and architects, I also do wedding photography and family portrait photography each year and here is a link to my wedding web site if you care to take a look: romineweddings.com My wife, Susan, and I are thoroughly enjoying working with the portrait end of the business in our new studio location.

My goal in photography is to capture real life; candid, natural expressions and genuine emotions. I rarely use props or elaborate studio sets because I want the portrait session to be about the subject, as natural and relaxed as possible.

Your session may take place in our studio, at your home or some location nearby. Susan works with me during the portrait session and is able to assist with any questions you may have regarding clothing choices, etc. Sessions may last up to two hours. Especially for children, this allows plenty of time for them to get used to us, for snacks or for play time. This also helps to alleviate a rushed feeling.

I view it as a privilege and welcome the opportunity to be your photographer. I look forward to capturing your real life moments. Let me know if you have any questions or suggestions for your session.

The Portrait Photography Process

Each photo "shoot" at Mark Romine's Studio actually entails three appointments!

At our first meeting which lasts approximately 30 minutes, we discuss your photography needs, locations, clothing and prop options. You'll have an opportunity to preview some of the wall portraits and other products that you may wish to purchase - there is of course no obligation!

Our second meeting is for your actual session. Most sessions are 1.5 but not exceeding two hours.

Our third meeting is your order viewing appointment. We start with a little slideshow preview of images and then you'll be able to view each image one by one (or side by side for comparison!) on a beautiful large screen. No detail will go unnoticed! You'll be able to pick your favorites and order the wall portraits and products!

Please contact us for more information or to book your session!
