Chicago Wedding Photography Family Portrait Photographer | Otto Rascon » Otto Rascon is a Chicago photographer specializing in wedding photography and family portraits.

Hello there and welcome to my blog!

My name is Otto Rascon and thanks for checking out my blog. So why a blog? So glad you asked. My blog allows me to communicate and share more of myself and my images with you. Some may only look at the cool photographs, others may read the story behind the photos.

I am from the awesome city of Chicago and currently live in Joliet. 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 at 773.234.6886 or email me at info[at] ottorascon[dot]com or via the Contact link.

Congrats to the 2010 Grads // Graduation Portraits

06.15.2010 Posted in Families, Portraits

Graduation season is upon us. It’s easy to take this season for granted if you don’t know anyone that is graduating. But if you have a family member or friend that is graduating, then it is a big deal. It’s such an honor to be graduating, to be done with school, to have completed your studies. And what a perfect time to not only document this time, but to do so with a beautiful portrait!

I am so privileged/honored to have spent time with these outstanding graduates and to have taken their portraits. What is even cooler is that they will forever have these photos of themselves on the day they graduated from college. They will be able to show these to their children, and for now can share them on Facebook and show their family and friends, with pride, that they have graduated.

My many thanks to the graduates: Mickey, Edwardo, Maureen, and Dana! Here are a few of my favorite graduation photos:

By The Way: Shooting in different environments is so much fun. Mickey’s portraits were on location at Northeastern University. Edwardo’s portraits were in my home-studio. Maureen and Dana’s graduation portraits were taken in Forest Park. Different locations bring with them challenging lighting situations and we must be quick on our feet.
