Wehmeier Portraits Testimonials & Reviews

Three high school-aged siblings posing together against a dark studio background.

Jody - Orland Park

They did such an amazing job with my twins photos, I decided to ask them if they would be willing to try to take a sibling photo with all 3 of my children. My youngest child has autism and to say he is very difficult to photograph is an understatement. I really didn't think they would be able to get a good photo of the 3 of them - but oh my did they prove me wrong. I absolutely screamed when I saw the photo of my 3 children. For the first time ever, my youngest child was not hidden in the corner of a group picture looking somewhere other than the camera but he was front center, hands on hips, beautiful smile, and front facing eyes that absolutely knocked me out. I knew Rob and Elise were good, but it was at this moment I realized how lucky I was to be working with this incredibly talented pair.

During each session over those years, Rob’s talent captured our family’s love, tenderness, joy, and playful spirit. With Elise’s guidance, we transformed those precious images into special photo albums for the boys—keepsakes they can cherish as deeply as I do as the years pass. I will always be grateful to Rob and Elise for their compassionate professionalism and friendship. Now that my husband has passed away, these portraits and albums hold even greater meaning to me.

Capturing the special moment of our daughter's First Communion was so important to us because it was a unique, unrepeatable time in her life. We love how Rob & Elise listened to why we wanted a portrait of this moment. Rob captured the innocence, hope and peacefulness of our daughter as she made her First Communion. I am so glad we did this. Walking by her portrait on our wall always makes me pause and smile.

Rob puts our children at ease when photographing them and they are able to have fun with it. Since the kids can be themselves, I believe that you always capture the children's true personalities. Your portraits are more than just pictures on the wall, they are our "art."

Mary - Orland Park

Rob and Elise made my son’s graduation photo shoot a blast. These photos blew my mind! Ryan wore a few different outfits that captured who he is and what his interests are. More than 50 photos were taken and all made me so emotional. They were so beautiful. I bought the senior album and I’m so grateful to have this book. It was so worth the price. I also bought the wall mosaic and captured so many of my son’s personalities.

Elise provides amazing service long before we even took our first photo. They get to know YOU first so that can capture what makes you and for family special. I chose your studio in the hopes that I could get a nice family photo but instead we have definitely found our family photographer.

Nichole - Orland Park

We decided to invest in senior pictures because, while school photos can be nice, the assembly-line approach often makes it hard to truly capture a child’s personality. We were hoping to find a photographer who could provide an environment where our son's individuality could really shine. Wehmeier Portraits was an absolute pleasure to work with. The experience offered a relaxed, comfortable setting, where it felt more like he was hanging out with friends than posing for a photo shoot.
