Hey Guys, Welcome To My Blog!

My name is Otto Rascon and thanks for checking out my blog. So why a blog? So glad you asked - I love photographing weddings and family portraits, but I also love shooting other types of events and writing is very important to me. So this blog allows me to communicate and share more of myself and my images with you.

I am from the awesome city of Chicago. I love photographing people! Seriously, what other profession would allow me to interact with amazing people, provide them with a meaningful product, and allows for some major fun and creativity?

Children grow up so fast and wedding day memories quickly fade only to be remembered by the photos in the album. Capturing fleeting moments is very important to me, that is why I love photographing weddings and families. I love seeing how my photographs enrich and bring color to peoples lives. Stay a while and check out some of my work. Feel free to call me or email me via the Contact link.

Belden Stratford Family Portraits – The Adelman Family

12.15.2009 Posted in Families, Portraits

I photographed a very fun event earlier this year for NIPRA. I was so excited to help out NIPRA and to meet Alpana Sing, who was the hostess for the event. I was eager to meet new people as well, all while sipping on some really yummy wine mind you.

I met the Adelman family through a friend of theirs that attended the NIPRA event. Marc contacted me about photographing his parents 50th Anniversary and the rest is history. The Adelman family decided on taking the family portraits at the beautiful Belden Stratford because that is where the parents were married 50 years ago! That is awesome. I had a fantastic time meeting and photographing The Adelman family. They had so much warmth and laughter that it made my day seeing them all interact. Here are a few photos of that family portrait session:

My many thanks to the Adelman family for inviting me into their lives and allowing me to capture such an important day in their families history. Thank you!

By The Way: The new Alien Bee PLM is really a great modifier. I am looking to pick up the larger 86 inch PLM for studio work. That is A LOT of light :)
