Shay James Photography LLC
📸 Lifestyle Photographer in Chicago’s North Shore
Less look at us, more this is us
Hi! I’m Tracy…
I’m a lifestyle photographer serving families in Chicago’s North Shore. My approach is simple:
I want your session to feel relaxed, natural, and fun — like a real moment in your life, not a posed production.
It’s not just about the final images; it’s about the experience of creating them — the laughs, the chaos, the connection, the time together.
✨ To me, that’s just as important as gorgeous photos.
I’m here to capture what’s real — the in-between moments, the messy, the magic.
The things that remind you what it felt like, not just what it looked like.

Mindy Garfinkle Photography
About Mindy
Let’s make memories together!
I’ve been a professional photographer since the days of film — and after all these years, I still love capturing people of all ages and all kinds of events.
My passion lies in photographing real emotions and genuine connections. In every portrait session, I blend posed and candid moments to create a wide, meaningful variety. You’ll never hear me say “smile” — I prefer to let the true personality, especially in kids, shine through naturally.
Whether it’s laughter, deep thought, or quiet curiosity — I love capturing all of life’s expressions.
As a mom of two grown boys (now 27 and 24), I’ve had plenty of practice photographing real life in motion!
I shoot everything from intimate weddings and bar/bat mitzvahs to corporate gatherings, birthdays, and anniversary celebrations — for all generations. Just ask!
I grew up in Highland Park and now live in Riverwoods with my sons.
Can’t wait to capture your story next.
