FAMILY FILMS
"We treasure the photos and film Jessica + Ben created for our family. They captured the beautiful magic in our "every day real life" and articulated everything incredible about seemingly small moments. For us, those feel like the ones we want to remember forever (and ever). We felt so comfortable the whole time, they have such a calming presence that made it feel like we could really be ourselves- we ended up with so many treasures. They have given us a way to look back on real life exactly how we want to remember it. We laughed a lot too- Beyond talented artists, beyond awesome people. We couldn't be happier or more grateful!"

As a family with three young children (ages 6 months, 2 years, and 4 years old), I know these moments in time are fleeting and our babies will be grown up before we know it. As busy parents, we rarely have the time to document our family together, something we cherish so dearly. It is a true art form to be able to photograph in the best light, capture the best angles, genuinely communicate the love onto print form...but it is a rare ability to make a family feel so comfortable around a camera lens. Jess and Ben, we love you, you've been there for ALL of our family milestone and will continue to do so. Your yin and yang is perfect, much like our crazy family. Our kids call Ben, Mr. Ben, and Jess can make our 2 year old Vivi smile every single time, and Vivi is definitely very picky about who is on the receiving end of her beautiful smiles. And if anyone is interested in a fantastic babysitter, Mr. Ben is definitely available, although his rates might be sky high but worth his ability to make a 4 year old listen. If any families are looking for the highest quality photographs and films of their families (they also put together the best films for families - music, editing, putting together the best narrative), Our Days is the best there is in Chicago.

The overall experience with Our Days
was so special to us and we are forever grateful for the amazing moments she was able to capture. Not only are we going to look back on these days fondly, but right now we use them as a reminder that these are the most important ones.

Jessica and Ben couldn't be more lovely to work with. I love that their focus is on capturing those real-life, not staged, moments that make family and childhood so special. They somehow are able to get little, precious personalities on camera in a truly meaningful way. We're looking forward to being long-time clients!

Jessica and Ben did our first ever family photo shoot and it could not have been better! The two of them are a great team and made us feel super comfortable. We were a little shy about the filming part but they really put you at ease and then somehow make sense of all your rambling, haha! The photos and film are SO precious. My husband and I, and our new son will cherish these forever! Thank you Ben and Jessica for making our days look so cool!

She instantly won my three year old son over (when lets be real that was my biggest fear - an uncomfortable toddler) she made him feel so comfortable, in turn making our whole photoshoot stress free and comfortable
