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.

Tristan and the Pugs

02.06.2012 Posted in Families, Portraits

Tristan is an amazing little guy – just look at his curls and smile! You add three pugs to the mix and you get some really fun family photos. I always look forward to the annual pug portraits with Tristan. This year the pugs really wanted to be in the pictures. Last year they could care less, so I wasn’t expecting them to be so energetic. I love it when the entire family participates in the portrait session – and if you have pets you know that they are a part of the family. I hope you enjoy looking at these photos as much as I did taking them and wrangling 3 pugs and a toddler.

Here are a handful of my favorite photos:

Set-Up

Nikon D700 – shooting in RAW

Nikon 50mm f/1.4

Nikon SB 800 with medium sized umbrella

CyberSync remotes/transmitter

Photo Mechanic – For culling

Adobe Lightroom 3 for editing

By The Way – Try to find out as much about the family’s house you are about to enter beforehand. I took some allergy medicine before leaving for the shoot because I know that being around three pugs would cause my allergies to go nuts.
