Welcome! My name is Kathleen Virginia Williams, and I’d be so excited to capture your life. I lived in the city of Chicago for 7 years, but now I live in a northern suburb, Gurnee. I live with my Husband Ashley, my three stepchildren, and our baby. I love my job as a Chicagoland freelance photographer, and you usually can find a camera in my hand even when I am not working. (I often have to be asked to stop taking pictures, just follow my personal Instagram @kathleenvirginiawilliams). Some other things that I love: cooking, gardening, adventures, design, a great movie, and the Blackhawks. Feel free to chat about any of this with me at any time 😉 I am also half Irish/English and have a HUGE family. I love them all so much, but I also had no idea that capturing all of them and our fun family dynamics for years prepared me for my job today. I will make sure to capture everyone at their best. I also grew up around my father an architect and my mother an interior designer, so I also LOVE to capture design. Overall my passion is to work with great people and to capture their vision. I hope you enjoy the light I see in the world!

"Kathleen took the best pics of our family, even when I was certain there wouldn’t be a good one because our toddler wouldn’t cooperate! She knew how to get a quick smile or giggle to get the perfect shot. She also does a beautiful job editing the photos! I’m a client for life and look forward to our annual fall photos."

"Kathleen has taken our family photos for the last three years, including one larger session with my extended family. She is so patient and somehow captures the most beautiful photos amidst the kid chaos! We will continue using her for annual family pictures - highly recommend KVP!"

"Thank you so very much, Kathleen. We cannot express how grateful we are to have these photos and memories of a very special time in our lives. Babies and kids are only little for so long and I know we will look back and be so thankful we signed up for photos with you. You are very talented and meant for your profession. Thank you KVP!"

"Working with Kathleen to photograph our Chicago Wedding was incredible. She was so helpful when it came to lighting, positioning us, and giving direction on the location of where the best pictures would be taken. Kathleen’s great attitude, years of experience, and overall ability to connect with our family and friends made the day so wonderful."

"We had a wonderful time shooting with KVP at Gilson Beach! She even brought the gorgeous weather with her :) She was very patient with us and our 1-year-old daughter and made sure we had enough photos that we were happy with. She also did some "casual" headshots for me that I was very happy with. Will use her again!"
