DGainor Photography Wheaton area natural-light photographer specializing in candid photos of Seniors, Couples, Families, Sports Photography, and more. http://www.dgainor.com

Serving the western suburbs of Chicago. My approach to photography is simple. I am a relational person and enjoy getting to know my clients as friends. My desire is to make you feel comfortable and happy. I do not enjoy overly posed, stiff photos, nor do I enjoy overly edited images. Instead, I welcome candid, relaxed shots and lightly edited images to capture genuine moments, laughter, and smiles

. At times, I may give you silly prompts that don't make sense, but trust me, there is a reason! My goal is to capture natural photos that highlight whatever it is that makes you unique.

There is a unique kind of joy in being invited back to capture a family’s milestones as the years go by. I recently had the honor of photographing my third senior from this wonderful family, and it was a moment I truly appreciated.

The trust a family places in me to document each of their children is a privilege I value deeply. It has been a pleasure to watch them grow and to help preserve these memories for them.

Being a small part of a family’s history is the most rewarding part of my work. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your journey once again. I wish you the very best in this next chapter.

Congratulations, Kal and Katie! I held off on posting these until after the wedding and after Kal and Katie had shared their own — but this was one of those shoots that was hard to keep to myself. I already knew they’d be fun to photograph, but the session turned out even better than expected. So much ease, so much genuine laughter. It honestly just felt like a great afternoon with friends, with a camera in hand. A favorite day with two lovely people. We are so happy for the two of you!

Meet this sweet family’s newest little member. It was such a pleasure capturing these precious moments with a child who clearly stole the show during our session. From the sweetest snuggles to those little baby giggles, this shoot was full of so much love and joy. 💕

Congratulations again, Geoff and Kirsten, on this beautiful new chapter in your lives. Can’t wait to see all the amazing memories you'll create as a family of three! Stay tuned for more!

If you've ever had teenage sons and their best friends over, you know how much they love being photographed... (said no mom ever, right?) After knowing this incredible guy since 6th grade, I finally had the honor of capturing him as he steps into the professional world.

Sam isn't just talented and skilled; he's kind and thoughtful, and he's an extraordinarily gifted athlete, excelling in both high school and college. Getting to photograph him was not only a privilege but also a blast! Thank you, Sam. Here's to many more achievements ahead!

Happy New Year! Our Fall/Winter was so busy, I didn't take time to post too much. Before we get too far into the new year, I wanted to share one more post of one of my favorite seniors to date! This young man had a beautiful infectious smile and was so much fun to photograph. Congratulations to you, Jack. We can't wait to see what next year brings for you.
