Eye Level

My motto with creating new family portraits is:

If it gets in the way, it does not stay.

As we have this terrific light winter in Chicago,

we can still make amazing baby photos outdoors.

Dance Circle

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.

Ideas Of The Future

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!

Conga Line

I love the conga line!

My cameras do, too!

It’s a dance the shy can do,

and the bolder ones can do with flair!

Group dancing is great for social skills practice

and positive social experiences,

a dance at a time!

Enjoy your events: Let me take the photos!

This is Why


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/.

Group Photo


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.

Set the Tone


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.

Words From Friends

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.
