Chouinard Photography

Let me tell your story

I'm a visual artist. My father converted our laundry room into a darkroom. Developing black and white photos, rubbing the photographic paper and watching the image appear, I was hooked. I took several years of summer classes at the Art Institute of Chicago from age 12 which helped me discover drawing, painting and sculpture. In college I studied photography and design at Loyola University in Chicago and Art History at the Loyola Rome Center. My passion for photography was reignited after having children. Combining my desire for creating art with the love of my kids, I established Chouinard Photography in 2006. I love the time capsule a photograph represents. My objective is to use photography to tell a story. Using light, perspective, subject and composition I create a mood, evoke an emotion and build a narrative. Let me help tell your story.
