Thoughtfully planned family sessions, in the studio or on location, with finished photographs made for your home.



MWD Photography is a family-run portrait studio in downtown Lombard, photographing Chicagoland families since the mid-1980s. Sessions bring patient direction and natural expressions, in the warm, kid-friendly studio on St. Charles Road, with easy parking, or on location.
On-location sessions are one hour and are photographed throughout the communities within about 12 miles of Lombard, including Glen Ellyn, Villa Park, Elmhurst, Wheaton, Downers Grove, Oak Brook, Addison, and Naperville; sessions travel further by arrangement.
A little planning goes a long way toward portraits you will love for years.
The sitting fee reserves your session time. Prints and portrait packages are separate, and the Investment guide with package prices is available on request.
