I have not started working with him yet but out of all the photographers I spoken to he’s the nicest one he responds to messages and I really appreciate that the other ones I spoke to act like they were doing me a favor, ignoring my messages and so so forth, so I hope that he can fit me in the third week of November and we can go there

Reviews
Miguel was awesome to work with. He is very down to earth and solid guy. He took headshots for almost 200 people in 2 days for us.
Miguel is a consummate professional — he had a great eye for finding good locations around Ukrainian Village in Chicago to photograph my family — and even got our 11-month old to do big belly laughs despite hungry/bored/cold/tired/etc. Miguel was easy to work with, and made the session relaxed and fun. He had the photos back to us right quick and they turned out beautifully. 10/10 would — and plan to — book again for future family photography shoots.
We had a wonderful experience working with Miguel! We needed a photographer for a work event, and he truly exceeded our expectations. He was professional, friendly, and made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. The photos speak for themselves — he captured every moment beautifully, from candid interactions to key highlights of the event. We couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. Highly recommend Miguel for any professional event!
Miguel is a true professional. He was able to to cope with a number of challenges to pull off beautiful photos with so many of us and in the midst of a hotel lobby.
Miguel was awesome from start to finish. We had a quick wedding downtown Chicago at marriage court and he made everyone relaxed and comfortable, was an amazing pro, got great shots of everything and everyone. Super flexible with our budget and needs. My wife does not like taking many photos and she loved Miguel and he got so many great photos of her! I think that’s the best compliment I could give! Highly recommended!
I contacted MNPhotoStudios to book a maternity family photo shoot. My communication was with Miguel, and the booking process was quick and easy. However, when I arrived at the studio, I was surprised to find that the photographer was not Miguel but Camilla. Despite this, Camilla was very professional and accommodating. I give 4 stars because I was expecting Miguel to be the photographer, and I felt that the direction and guidance during the shoot could have been better. Additionally, the promised turnaround time for the photos was delayed. However, I did have some good shots that I really liked!
The photos are amazing and he is so easy to work with. I am extremely grateful.
Miguel was wonderful to work with! He was very attentive to my concerns about the weather and was able to come up with solutions quickly. From the start, I could tell he was very experienced which made me feel like I was in good hands. We had him take our engagement photos and they turned out to be amazing! We had the photos up on a slideshow for our wedding shower and everyone was gushing with compliments! His packages also came with many perks that really made his service a great value! I would definitely work with Miguel again in the future and highly recommend him!
Miguel did an incredible job capturing the essence of my and my twin brothers’ birthday in our photos. Chicago provided a stunning backdrop. I quickly decided to hire him after finding him on Thumbtack. Miguel was highly professional and enjoyable to work with. His expertise was evident, and he made the shoot both fun and elaborate. I highly recommend booking him; you won’t be disappointed!
Really enjoyed working with MNPhotoStudios from start to finish! He was so responsive and really captured the details of our networking event perfectly. 10/10 recommend and would happily work with him again.
This review is overdue, but our Xmas card couldn’t be more perfect with Miguel. We were going for an unconventional take that requires some serious photoshop skills! He absolutely nailed it, he listened to our vision and suggested a couple ideas that we absolutely loved. Would absolutely book him again next year, thank you Miguel!
Couldn't be more pleased with Miguel and his work. He was easy to work with, explained what would occur and the timelines prior and did exactly what he said he would do. If needed in the future, he'll be the first person I go to and recommend.
A great experience. Very professional and a pleasure to work with.
Last year Miguel took my college graduation photos and I was so impressed!!! My photos came out beautiful and Miguel was so professional! He was on time, flexible and really helped me choose great poses. We shot in a few locations by the Chicago river and Miguel used the backgrounds to our advantage creating gorgeous photos. Book Miguel and you will not be disappointed!
Miguel was friendly, professional and responsive from the start. Being from out of town, I had many questions regarding weather, location and attire and he answered them all. He arrived on time and was very receptive and accommodating to my strong personality family of 5. We wanted not only family portraits but also graduation photos and linkedin profile pictures. He made us all comfortable and as a result our photos were amazing. I strongly recommend him!
Excellent professional. Went above and beyond to make me comfortable in getting headshots done. Great studio! Very creative! Amazing resource for professional photos.
I felt very comfortable and at ease with my photographer which definitely helped the modeling shoot go smoothly. I was also able to see some of the photos, engage in open and clear communication, as well receive helpful advice for my portfolio.
Miguel did great work, nice studio space and did not rush us at all. Extremely professional and would hire him again!
Miquel was absolutely fantastic to work with! I needed some updated headshots and he was accommodating, professional and made me feel very relaxed during the photoshoot. The pictures turned out great and I was so pleased with the value of the service. After the session I quickly received nearly over a hundred photos to choose which ones I’d like professionally touched up. Highly recommend MNPhotoStudios! Thank you again!
