My grandfather was the one who introduced me to photography. I would often find him in the darkroom upon arriving at his home. Soon, my father had a camera, then my sister and me. We were a Canon family collecting memories on film. Later, despite personal debates about brands, I broke away, bought a Nikon and began to travel. I have visited nearly 40 countries and 29 US states, along with multiple cities, innumerable prairies, preserves and wild open nature spaces. Photography is a part of me wherever I go. At Stan's Photo, I capture soulful moments of your dog or pet that you can frame and keep. From portraits in the home, studio, or outdoors, I guarantee photos that make you smile. My home base is Andersonville, serving nearby Chicago neighborhoods.
