In our latest project, we captured the essence of Custom Crafters through our lens in Forest Park, IL, a hidden gem of craftsmanship. Known for creating unique furniture for giants like McDonald’s, Northwestern University, and the Chicago Blackhawks they had everything but one thing: the right pictures to show who they are. Right away, I noticed how friendly and down-to-earth everyone was. It’s a tight knit group of talented employees that feel like family!

The Journey Begins: More Than Just Furniture

When Custom Crafters reached out, they needed more than headshots; they needed a way to show the soul of their work. What started as a simple photo session evolved into a journey to capture their team and their craft.
