Hey, I'm Schylar your photographer!

I am the owner and photographer of SJ Portraits + Co. formerly Schylar Joelle Photograph.


My background is in photography and graphic design. I have been capturing memories and moments for around 8 years. It all started because I needed to take a photography class for my graphic design degree. From there it took off and I fell in love. Flash forward a few years and I now have my own small business located in NWI / Chicago land area.


I am always down for an adventure, challenge and to make your dreams come true. You have a crazy idea you want to do with your portraits, I got you! You want timeless images that will last a lifetime, no problem!


Send me a message and let's take some beautiful photos together!

Testimonials

Working with Schylar was an AMAZING experience. She had so much patience with our 18-month-old toddler and helped us get fun and joyful pictures. She was able to capture amazingly the essence of our family. We look forward to doing our next family pictures with her again.

To say that I was in love with the photos Schylar took would be an understatement! I reached out to her last year to get my mom a family session for Mother’s Day and she did not disappoint! She was so great to work with, and was very patient with my family who had never really had professional photos taken before.

I've worked with Schylar twice now; once for my little impromptu backyard wedding, and once for my maternity photos. She is so fun and makes the session totally enjoyable! I've always felt extremely comfortable while being photographed by her. She has tons of great ideas for locations to shoot at and for posing. She has always gotten the photos back to me super quickly, and gives tons of options with editing. I've never felt rushed during a session and can tell she takes the time to get best shots.

We have done two different sessions with Schylar Joelle Photography and both were great! She is patient and fun and was a bargain compared to other photographers we have used.
