Chicago Photographer Dorothy Perry
At the scene called Sunday Service,
I’m so delighted I’ve got a spot
I can ‘put my hand on my hip and let my backbone slip.’
An additional pleasure is seeing photographs at every turn.
This child’s face of concentration lights the center
of a passionate crowd of dancing grownups.
Dorothy Perry is a Chicago artist photographing lifestyle portraits in intimacy and reality.

Over the years I have lived as a photographer, I have realized that being a creative artist has, over time, has enabled me to be a creative ‘see-er’, too!
I treasure and cultivate my ability to see things differently by actively listening, day-dreaming, and using counterintuitive ideas to access an ability to look at your questions in a fresh new way.
This discernment allows me to:
‘connect the dots’,
find new ideas / markets for your niche,
see new directions,
enhance and improve offerings,
and refine messages to reflect more accuracy.
It’s a great feeling when I hear:
“That’s a very good idea!”
“I haven’t thought about it but that’s a good idea!”
“I love this!!! I’m totally going to share it with my group tomorrow!”
Reach out here or via my website Contact Page, and I am happy to ‘take a look’ at a topic of interest for your business – or for you.
I feel that this way of envisioning will bring you an original idea or concept you have never heard before. And it’s my desire that it will benefit your life immensely!

In birthdays past,
I have posted lists of things
I wish to accomplish,
or something I hope
may be of interest to you as well.
This birthday, I simply ask to
stay grounded in reality.
My skill is capturing photos of family and connection in beauty
that will stay fresh and vital for years to come.

This jaunty derby
was an essential part
of this young man’s
daily wear for school
for a time.
We artistic types recognize
what courage it takes
and what it costs
to be so different
in this world.
This tiny picture fragment
from long ago
becomes a testament
to childhood’s enduring,
beautiful spirit.
To witness the moment in photographs.
To record the beautiful grace of infancy.
To remember the elders, travelling to see their new young one.
To document time, place, and reality for the future.
To make good energy visible for the home.
To celebrate the two, becoming three.
To honor the spirit of family.
This is why.
If I can help record your family legacy with fine lifestyle portraits, I welcome your inquiry at http://www.dorothyperry.com/contact/.
Professional artists love the opportunity for a ‘hands-on’ workshop with Sean Michael Felix, one of the best gold sign artists in the Midwest and the US.
Everyone’s creativity was enhanced by the beautiful setting and free flow of information: an urban ‘artist’s retreat’ experience.
Even the cats played their part to bring an ultra-relaxed vibe into the space.
These artisans in glass, tattooing, custom finishing, and sign-making come here to play, take these techniques to their businesses, and make them their own.
It feels great to be able to impart such knowledge and create artwork that adds much-needed beauty to this world.
Reach out to have a real artist experience. Feed your soul by creating something beautiful!

It’s a beautiful use
of the best part of you,
and the process to enter
an extraordinary way of life.
His dad asked for an updated image.
But rather than take a new one,
I sought an expression with staying power,
containing the potential
to stand in lieu of contact for months,
and soothe the pangs
of conscience and distance
until they met again.
For help to create (or restore) an image of the loved ones in your family,
reach out through the Contact Page for a personal consultation.
I look forward to your call.
All the best,

A local young bride’s wedding photographs are now ready for her home.
I was extremely pleased to have two heirloom frames to work with: these images look amazing in antique settings!
Another pleasure was in working with a younger person’s style of communication and relating.
So lovely to meet another who values images that hold an vibrant personal energy for her home. I whole-heartedly agree.

Sometimes, someone
captures a beautiful,
evocative idea
to inspire the week ahead.
This quote by Epicurus
on a friends’ Instagram post
‘speaks’ to me today.
Do not spoil
what you have
by desiring
what you have not.
Remember that
what you now have
was once among
the things
you only hoped for.
After years of chasing this dream
through the ups and downs of life,
I feel blessed and grateful
every time I look through the lens
at someone who trusts me
to capture a beautiful, personal moment
of their private lives.
If I can be of service to you or yours,
I appreciate meeting and working with you.
