Capturing Moments, Creating Memories

Hello and welcome! I’m Matthew McHugh, a professional photographer serving Naperville, Warrenville, Winfield, Wheaton, Glen Ellyn, Plainfield, Aurora, Oswego, and surrounding Chicagoland communities. For me, photography isn’t just an image—it’s a story, a memory, a feeling that deserves to be preserved forever. From families and newborns to seniors, children, headshots, sports, and charitable events, I’ve dedicated my career to creating portraits that reflect real emotion, authentic moments, and timeless beauty.

My Story

Photography has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. What began as a passion for capturing small everyday moments soon grew into a purpose: to help people freeze memories they’ll never want to forget. Over the years, I’ve met beautiful families, proud parents, talented seniors, and incredible individuals. Every session I photograph feels like stepping into someone’s world—and I’m honored every time I’m trusted to tell their story through my lens.

My Approach to Photography

My approach is simple: Natural. Relaxed. Personal. Whether I’m photographing a newborn’s first days, a family laughing together, or a senior preparing for their next chapter, my goal is to create a comfortable environment where genuine moments unfold naturally.
