Behind the Lens: Capturing the Friendship and Success of Shine. Salon & Dry Bar in Huntley, IL
I recently had the privilege of working with @crystallakecitylifestyle magazine to photograph the dynamic duo behind Shine. Salon & Dry Bar, located in Huntley, IL. As a photographer, one of the most rewarding aspects of my job is capturing the essence of the people and stories that make our local communities so vibrant. This project was no exception.
A Story of Friendship and Business Success
The latest feature in Crystal Lake City Lifestyle, beautifully penned by Patti Noble, dives deep into how two friends turned their shared vision into a successful business. The owners of Shine. Salon & Dry Bar didn’t just start a business—they built it on the foundation of their strong friendship, a theme that resonates through their salon’s welcoming atmosphere and exceptional service.
Photographing them was an absolute pleasure. Their camaraderie was evident in every shot, and it was inspiring to see how their bond translated into a thriving business. It’s stories like these that remind me why I love what I do—capturing the moments, the relationships, and the success stories that define the local business community.
Elevating Local Stories Through Photography
Based in Woodstock, IL, I’ve had the opportunity to work throughout the northwest suburbs of Chicago, helping to tell the stories of local entrepreneurs and business owners through elevated photography. It’s about more than just taking pictures; it’s about capturing the spirit of these individuals and the businesses they pour their hearts into.
The photo session at Shine. Salon & Dry Bar was a perfect example of this. From the warm, natural light streaming into the salon to the genuine smiles of the owners, every element came together to create images that reflect their passion and dedication.
