Laid-back and easy to talk to, with a professional approach and confident direction throughout the shoot.

Didn't even feel like a photoshoot, we just walked around downtown and he was shooting the whole time. Kept walking and talking and it felt very friendly

Meet your photographer Patrick Zadlo

Patrick Zadlo

Hey, I'm Patrick, a Chicago native and UIUC student. I shoot portraits at UIUC and throughout Chicago when I'm home.

I love portrait and aerial photography, but my favorite part is getting to know the person in front of the camera. I want your photos to feel like you.

Think of me as a friend with a great camera. We'll keep things relaxed, have some fun, and capture moments you'll want to keep.

- Pat

Frequently asked questions

Where are sessions available?

Based in Champaign-Urbana during the school year. Chicago sessions subject to availability when I'm back in the city.

What if the weather looks bad?

We’ll talk before the shoot and decide whether to reschedule or use a suitable covered location.

How long until I get my photos?

Your edited photos will be ready within 72 hours of your session, delivered in a shared Google Drive folder for you to download.

How do I pay?

Venmo, Zelle, or cash. A 30% non-refundable deposit locks your date, and the balance is due when your photos are ready.

Yes! Essential fits up to 3 people total, and Signature fits up to 5. It’s $10 per extra person. Your group shares the session time and edited photo count. Core is a solo session.
