I had the honor of recently shooting the photographs for Susana Mendoza’s Chicago City Clerk campaign. We did two different shoots (studio and location) and the photos will be used on her website, billboards, and print media. Some of the studio shots are already live on the website (below) http://www.susanamendoza.com


We worked with Nika Vaughan who did a fantastic job with Susana’s makeup and really accentuated all of Susana’s feautures. Nika is fantastic to work with!



The second shoot took place just a few days ago where we braved the cold weather and toured around Chicago to get some city shots….



Susana has an energy level unmatched by most! It was hard to get her to stand still long enough to get the skyline in the background! I think she much prefers meeting and talking to new people than standing solo against the skyline!…

We met some people fishing near Navy Pier and we stopped to chat…It was cold but everyone was friendly. It could be that Susana’s energy warmed them up…

Susana got a few fishing tips while we were out…



From Navy Pier we went into the loop and got on the L platform for some quintessiential track shots…


People everywhere really opened to Susana and were overwhemlingly friendly….













Susana is an energized, magnetic and powerful woman… I would not want to be running against her for the City Clerk position! Good luck to her competitors!
