Client Feedback

Here's what my client's had to say about their experience and their final product!

D. Bremer, IL
Session: Family Portraits

We were lucky enough to get Petra to
take  our family photo. She was kind enough to drive all the way to Lake Geneva where  all 15 of us gathered for what surely is our last family vacation as a whole  entity.   My beloved husband, our patriarch father and grandfather is  nearing the end of his long fought battle with cancer.  Petra gave us the  very best gift possible - a memory to cleave onto forever more. Her work  is beautiful,  thus she captured a splendid  moment which we will all treasure.   Thank you will never be enough for the gift she has given us.

Sarah and Mark N., Round Lake, IL

"Our family pictures turned out amazing, Petra is so easy to work with and delivers nothing but exceptional photos."

Ronnie and Cathy, Lake Villa IL
Session: Family Portraits

"Thank you for coming out on such short notice! The pictures are the best pictures we have so far."

Fawn B., Schaumburg IL
Session: Family Portraits

"Petra is an amazing talent and woman! We wanted to present our parents with a special 50th wedding anniversary present and the photos Petra took of our combined families were perfect. She came up with a beautiful local place to have the photo shoot, and her unique approach and friendly attitude put us at ease and created amazing photographs. If you want something other than the boring backdrop shots seen everywhere else, you should look her up! Thanks again Petra ..... we love you!"

Jennie I., Newburgh IN
Session: Child Portraits

"Our photo session started off a little rocky due to my crabby son. But just working with Petra my son was soon at ease. As if my son wasn't working against us enough the back drop that HE wanted was no were to be found. What kind of back drop does a 13-yr old want? Graffiti, and would you believe it was nowhere to be found. Most photographers would have given up and or tried to talk us into another back-drop, but Petra made arrangements to meet us the next morning in Chicago for some amazing spots. Petra went above and beyond so that my son could get exactly what HE wanted, his graffiti. She was a pleasure in high school and she is even more so now. I will definitely use Petra's unique eye again to capture my family moments."

Sage H., McHenry IL
Session: Child Portraits / Family Portraits

"Petra Sith is an excellent photographer. We wanted our pictures done at the beach and she suggested the most spot. The kids had fun and looked great in every single picture. She let everyone be themselves and captured the beautiful scenery around them. We really appreciate her artistic style and attitude during our pictures. Thank you Petra. Not only will we be back but we shall also suggest your work to others!!

Jami M., Phoenix AZ.

would I buy from Petra again, I can't wait to expand my collection!"

Rebecca H., Des Plaines IL

"We could not be more excited about how well Eddie's six month pictures turned out. Petra is an amazing photographer! She was very easy to work with and Eddie took to her quickly. Her natural style really brought out the best photos of our little guy."

Candice P. and Dustin M., Johnsburg IL
Session: Child Portraits / Event

"We hired Petra to take photos for our daughters 3rd B-Day party and they turned out awesome! They arent just boring still shots...she captured her in her element, the way we know and love. Petra was very professional and polite...and ninja-like, creepin up on perfect opportunities and taking them out stealth mode...and nobody seen or heard her do it! I would refer her to anybody interested in pro-photos. We will definately have Petra do our wedding, as well as pics for my band. Thanks Pete!!!!"

Tim and Becky A, Woodstock IL
Session: Child Portraits

"Our photo experience with Petra was the best we’ve ever had.  Not only did Petra make the experience pleasant and comfortable, she was able to authentically capture our son’s personality.  Petra’s easy-going attitude instantly put our son at ease.  He was able to let his guard down and just be himself.  The photos we received are emotive and beautiful. Petra is a true artist and a real professional.  These photos will be an honest and poignant way to remember these times.  We will certainly do this again!"

Tara C., Lakemoor IL
Session: Child Portraits

"Petra is so accommodating and personable!  My 1 year old, who can be a bit shy with strangers sometimes, warmed up to her right away.  We got to decide the time that worked for us, and the pictures turned out absolutely amazing!  The
final products consisted of black and white, candid, artistic, and natural photos that really captured my daughter.  We'd definitely use Petra again."

Jaime R., Lake in the Hills IL
Session: Child Portraits

"Our photo session with Petra was very fun and relaxing. My son could just be himself and she was able to get some great portraits as a result! She let us decide where to hold the session so it is totally up to you to choose the environment. I definitely would go to Petra again for more photos."

Theresa N., Fox Lake IL
Session: Child Portraits

"Petra's unique eye for capturing beauty in the moment is rare.....it's so refreshing to know there are artists out there who can 'freeze' the perfect
image in time through film.  Anyone who works with Petra gains and instant appreciation for her unique talents....and also gains a friend as well."

Mickey W., Woodstock, IL
Session: Band Promotional Photography

"Thank you Petra Sith for taking our band pics last night... this woman is an OUTSTANDING photographer and if you need any pictures done you better look her up!"

Jamie B., McHenry IL.
Session: Band Promotional Photography

"Petra, in addition to being a great person, is a consummate professional. Her ability to collaborate and apply proven techniques in order to achieve professional quality media is what makes her a true photographer.Most anyone can point the camera and click, but many photographers forget that the most important "click" is the one that happens between the personalities of them and their client."

Matt Ryan, Antioch IL.
Session: Collection Photography

"Petra was able capture and share something that means alot to me.  Not only did she get the images I wanted, she got some great shots that I did not expect!!!  A true professional. Showed up with all the equipment and on time to boot!"

Katie T, Franklin Park, IL
Session: Baby Portraits

"Petra is a fantastic, patient,  accommodating, and professional artist. She took the time to get to
know our  one-month old son, Jack, and she used the same approach to capture many  wonderful photos. Petra came to the shoot with many ideas that validate her  artistic talent and creativity. We liked how she used Jack's room as a backdrop  and the lighting and her photo style created beautiful photographs. We will  definitely use Petra in the future, for she is truly a wonderful photographer,  artist, and friend."

Nick and Chantelle M., Genoa City, WI
Session: Event / Wedding

"We would like to thank Petra for her exceptional job on both our engagement photos and wedding photos. For us to be her first in that area,we were anxious to see what she could do. We had her do her thing and let us say she did an amazing job, and we highly recommend her to anyone in need of any sort of photography. She is a dear friend,and a talented photographer. Thank you soo
much Petra, we will be in contact for baby photos."

Jen B., Crystal Lake, IL
Session: Creative / Themed Photography

"My photo session with Petra was incredible!  She has a great eye when it comes to light/shadows and angles, and knows how to capture the perfect shot even while dealing with the outdoor elements.  She works super efficiently and gives
great input and ideas while shooting.  I could not be more happy with the beautiful works of art that my photos from Petra turned out to be.  I would
highly recommend her to photograph any occasion!"

Jackie K, Twin Lakes, WI
Session: Unique Portraits

"I loved my first experience with Petra so much I can't wait to do it again. Working as a team we fed off each other with diverse ideas.  I was nervous at
first but that quickly broke into comfort.  After all was said and done the end product was more than I anticipated  and exceeded my expectations. Her exquisite eye made things pop in photos. Upon viewing I understood a little more. She provided me with confidence and direction. The experience was definately one I'd recommend just  because she's that Damn good! Thanks again !"

Kris T. and Paula W., Bolingrbook, IL
Session: Pet Portraits

"Our session with Petra was awesome!  Trying to  photograph 3 dogs a 1 cat and capturing their unique personalities is a very  diffcult task.  We know as we have worked with peoples pets for 20 years and  know first hand how uncooperative some can be.  Petra delivered on all accounts  and managed to take some outstanding pictures.  Our rescue dog who after a year  and a half barely
trusts us, was taking treats and sitting still for her.   Petra's creativity is amazing, we never expected some of the shots we got.  We  love so many, the
hardest part is deciding which ones to print!"

Rachel S., Carol Stream, IL
Session: Band Promo Photography

"Thank you so much, we got what we needed with the group shots and will use one of them for the back of our album which looks really good. I appreciate you driving to us in the rain and traffic and bringing your set up to us. It was very convenient and easy. You have a natural eye and will be glad to see your future work."

Brian E., D.M. Designs, Fox Lake IL
Session: Merch / Products Photography

"Extremely pleased with your work!! I would highly recommend you to EVERYONE!!"

Brooke J., Libertyville, IL.
Session: Event Photography

"Petra did the photography for our holiday party.  She was there on time, and did a great job.  She was able to capture the excitement of the evening and all the wonderful moments we had.  Petra's artistic style and professionalism was appreciated by the entire company.  We will use her for everything we can from now on!"

Fortune in Lies, Kenosha WI.
Session: Band Promo Photography

"We recently had the opportunity to do a photo shoot with Petra.  She very willingly followed us from one location to another so that we could get a
variety of backgrounds for our photos.  We had a blast doing the shoot, and we got some amazing photos from her.  You just can't go wrong with Petra!"

Jen N., Antioch IL.
Session: Boudoir/Portrait Photography

"I did a boudoir-esque sitting, which I am guessing for the average woman would be extremely embarrassing and awkward as I felt initially. Petra quickly had me opening up to the camera like I was a natural lingerie model. She made me laugh
and feel very much at ease. While I started the session with some ideas of my own, I ultimately fell in love with the shots she had envisioned herself. She is an excellent communicator in terms of how to pose myself for the camera as well as keeping me up to date on her progress while processing my pictures. Thank you Petra, I look forward to working with you in the future."

Stacey & Shawn J., Winthrop Harbor, IL
Session: Wedding Photography

"We hired Petra from Petra Sith
Photography for our big wedding day and she was amazing!  She was with us from the early hours of the morning to the very end of the night capturing
all of our special moments and then some.  Petra is an incredible photographer who brought our photos to life, while her unique and artsy flair
added that much more character and charisma to each and every one!  We are so pleased with not only the quality of the photos we received but also the quantity of photos as well.  Petra was friendly and charming with everyone from the bridal party to guests alike.  Her easy going and accommodating approach made her a pleasure to work with.  We will definitely be using Petra in the future for family portraits and other events"

Courtney M. Gurnee, IL
Session: Event Photography

"Petra of Petra Sith Photography is such an amazing and gifted photographer.  My family and I wanted to capture the special, once-in-a-lifetime moments of my Uncle Jay’s surprise birthday party and I just knew Petra was the one who could really express that exceptional quality and
charm we were looking for.  The party was a blast, Petra was brilliant and even my Mom, who is the
most camera-shy person you’d ever meet, was smiling for pictures!  Her relaxed, friendly and kindhearted approach made everyone feel as though she was a part of the family that night.  You can bet if I hear someone’s looking for an outstanding photographer, I’m going to shout Petra’s name through the rooftop!"

Candice J. Ponca City, OK
Session: Event Photography

"Petra is an amazing photographer, artist and person. We are so happy with the pictures from our event! She really catches the beauty in what others would consider mundane. She is a genuine, down to earth person who is a joy to work
with. I highly recommend Petra for any photography needs you might have. She is
the best!"
