EVERY KID BREAKS THE MOLD.

ABOUT CHICAGO SENIOR PHOTOGRAPHER, SHALIMAR B PHOTOGRAPHY

Every mom likes to believe her kid is one-of-a-kind. Turns out?

she's right.

So why do so many senior portraits end up looking exactly the same? 

But how I approached each of them? Identical. I listened. No judgment, no agenda, no cookie-cutter checklist. Just what do you want this to feel like?

That’s the experience every senior gets when they walk through my door.

Because the goal was never just “good photos.” It’s photos that feel so undeniably them — so true to who they actually are — that they can’t stop staring. And neither can you.

My own boys were complete opposites — different personalities, different vibes, completely different visions for their senior sessions.

"My daughter's photo session with Shalimar turned out to be seamless and dare I say....FUN! Shalimar thinks of everything so that you don't have to stress."

After 19 years behind the lens and countless sessions with Chicago-area seniors, I still get butterflies every single time.

My work has been featured in the Chicago Tribune, CBS Chicago, and recognized by the Senior Style Guide Hot 100 — but honestly?

The review that matters most is when your senior says that actually looks like me.

I’m Shalimar — photographer, mom of two, and the person who will absolutely tear up at your senior’s gallery reveal.
