Michael Metzger & Staff, Inc. (Highland Park, IL)

1292 Old Skokie Road 2nd Flr Back Highland Park, IL

I never take on a job that I can not fulfill 100% to my client. You can\'t photograph what you can\'t see. It is my passion not something to make money or empress others. A photographer of people has to have exceptional skills in communication, understanding and patience. Somehow my parents were able to engineer a child (me) with those qualities. With a degree in Physics for Univ. Wis. and 10 years of corporate life, I quit it all to follow my passion. I have developed a talent for putting,people (especially kids) at ease and allow them to display their own personality, not something I made them do for the camera. Some of my clients say that I make the camera disappear during a session. I always make it a fun experience. Call me!
