Introduction
Hi, my name is Al Bracken! Please >>ONLY<< contact me if you would like to book me for your shoot and do not contact other photographers because it is not free for photographers to receive messages from clients. And guess where you can also find me! I do not offer videography as well. Also, please check out my automatic quote and determine if it is in your price range before reaching out. Thanks! I'm primarily a fashion photographer that does "everything else !" I shoot for 6 Midwest-based model/talent agencies and the top ones I've shot for include Ford Chicago, Wilhelmina New York, Wilhelmina LA, and Red New York. I've photographed Michael Belhing, co-star on 'All American', Makenzie Roony, winner of 'Making a Model with Yolanda Hadid,' Top Model Achenrin Madit, and have been published in Vogue and L'Officiel. I think that is what helps me stand out locally, my background in fashion and entertainment. I also shoot events, weddings, themed shoots, you name it! Thanks for reading this and talk soon! Al

Al was amazing! This was my first time taking professional photos with my mom and I was nervous. I wanted candid photos versus staged and Al helped talk me through the process. He helped me select a location and he was even flexible last minute to change the day of the shoot due the weather. He was personable, professional, punctual. My mom loved him. He delivered exactly what I asked for and I would not hesitate to use him for future photos. Thanks Al for making this a memorable shoot with my mom!

From the minute I reached out to Al, he was extremely responsive and a great help! My fiancé and I were looking to take engagement photos but weren’t sure where to start. After reaching out to Al, he gave me and call and really got the detail down of what we were looking for, options to think about and the value he was going to provide. Leading up to the photo shoot, he provided great guidance and insights as to when, where and how to prepare for our session. The day of the session with Al was nothing but a great success. He had great vision and ideas for how to best execute the shoot. He was extremely kind, respectful and personable! After getting our photos, we were nothing but pleased with the results and the great experience we had. We would definitely recommend Al and his services!

I hired Al for senior photos for my daughter. He was very professional. He has a wonderful personality and was able to pull my shy daughter’s personality out through her photos. He even asked if I needed hair and makeup, which I did need and hire a make up artist based on his recommendations. That also went well! The entire experience was great and I would definitely recommend him.

Details: Solo portrait • Traditional / classic (looking directly at the camera) • Natural / environmental (photographed in an outdoor setting) • Artistic (focus on composition, lighting) • Candid (captured in the moment) • Outdoors • Digital or online download • At the pro’s location

Al Bracken shot our backyard micro-wedding /elopement celebration on very short notice. After waffling over wedding plans for months we had decided spur of the moment to get married privately and have immediate family over for dinner that weekend. The stars aligned when Al had a window of availability that fit with ours, as we really just wanted some high quality photos with our parents to look back on. Al Bracken was timely, friendly, and frankly more than fairly priced! We got way more than we expected in terms of quality, content, and number of photographs. He showed a passion for meeting the vision of his client while creating beautiful photographs. He also has very simple and straightforward business practices. He was easy to book online, sent a straightforward contract via email, texted deets, returned the photos in a timely manner, and they were available for high-resolution download from any device. Thank you for capturing memories we will be able to look back on for years Al! You were a pleasure to work with.

Details: Bridal portrait • Natural / environmental (photographed in an outdoor setting) • I'm flexible • Digital or online download • Flash drive • My home, venue, etc.
