Hey there, I’m Paige Babilla. I’m a Chicago-based portrait and lifestyle photographer.
I eat, sleep and breathe content. Strategist by day, photographer by morning, night and weekend, content creation is my thing. Bringing an idea or story to life visually is what fuels my creative fire.
What started as a hobby in high school (having impromptu photoshoots with friends and recapping football games for the school newspaper) soon turned into a passion that I carried into college, taking headshots for friends and mini shoots for my sorority. But it was nothing more than that.
Fast forward to 2016, where I was given the opportunity to participate in a program called Leaps through my advertising job, where you are tasked with setting a personal or professional goal and learn how to accomplish it within 60 days. This is where my fire for photography was reignited. I began collaborating with friends, shooting every single day until it became all-consuming. I fell back in love with capturing images that made people feel good about themselves, that gave them confidence.
In an unattainably curated world where we are constantly comparing ourselves to strangers on the Internet, I want you to feel confident in the image you are sharing with the world. I believe everyone should have photos of themselves that they are excited + proud to share, photos that make you feel good about yourself, that are a representation of who you are inside and out. I want to give you the gift of confidence.
Let me into your world. Allow me to help you tell your story, whether that’s through your blog, brand, Instagram, or hanging on your family room wall. You have a unique perspective with a story to tell, and I want to be a part of it. Because no one does what you do like you do.
