Mila Craila Photography

I had an exceptional experience working with Mila for my professional headshots, and I truly can’t recommend her enough. From the very first interaction, Mila was incredibly professional, responsive, and organized. Everything was clearly communicated in advance, the session ran exactly on time, and my schedule was fully respected—which I greatly appreciated. What sets Mila apart is how personal and thoughtful the experience feels. She took the time to understand what I needed the headshots for and the professional image I wanted to convey. During the session, she made me feel completely comfortable and confident, providing clear guidance on posing and expressions without ever making it feel forced or awkward. Her calm, friendly approach makes the entire process enjoyable. Mila is extremely efficient with time while still delivering outstanding quality. The session was well-paced, productive, and focused, and the results exceeded my expectations. She has an incredible eye for lighting, angles, and detail, and it truly shows in the final images. The headshots are polished, modern, and authentic—exactly what I was hoping for. If you’re looking for a photographer who is professional, personable, and respectful of your time while delivering exceptional results, Mila is the one. I’m beyond happy with my headshots and would absolutely work with her again. Highly recommend!

Recently I had the opportunity to get my family portrait with Mila and it was an amazing experience. This is my 3rd year in a row working with Mila and she has consistently exceeded our expectation. This is what I like about Mila: she is very easy to talk to, punctual to her appointment, knows the location where to shoot the pictures, her attention to detail, the quality of pictures taken, the time she takes to get to know me and my family, her excellent communication skills, and many more. It is hard to find a person like Mila who is humble, talented and loves her job. Mila picked a beautiful park close to us as we requested an outdoor photo shoot. She made us feel comfortable in every pose. She is very flexible and incorporates our ideas into the pose. The final edited pictures I received was excellent and I'm so happy with her work. I will definitely be coming back and will recommend Mila Craila Photography to my extended family and friends.

Mila was so much fun to work with for our engagement photo shoot session in downtown Chicago! I was a little nervous to take engagement photos at first (mainly bc I don’t think I’m very photogenic!) but she really made the whole experience so much fun and no stress at all. A few weeks before our session, we met up with Mila to share our ideas and plan our locations, so the day of the shoot everything ran seamlessly. We started at Drumbar (a rooftop bar), and Mila had so many creative ideas for different shots! After that we went to the Chicago Riverwalk and got a wide variety of shots in many different locations. Mila was awesome at directing us on how to pose and where to look during the photos. When we received our photos and were so impressed with the results!! Mila captured so many different shots for us in just a few hours, and made us look great! 🙂 I would definitely recommend Mila to anyone looking for an engagement or wedding photographer in the Chicago/Naperville area!

We had Mila captured our special moments from maternity to family photoshoot. Each time her excellency amazed us and we got more than we expected. She is very passionate and it has shined through in her work. Also, she is very flexible and helpful. The story she captured in her pics is always amazing and the lighting is stunning. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for excellent photographer.

Mila was absolutely delightful to work with! We knew the outfits we wanted to wear to represent our family and Mila took care of the rest. My kids enjoyed her style of photography, and were very comfortable. When it was time to do couple pictures, Mila’s style of photography made both of us feel like we were doing engagement photos. So beautiful and intimate. Family pictures turned out stunning and we are very happy that we chose Mila’s talent among many other photographers! Mila was professional, kind and responsive. We did not have a time crunch as far as getting the photos, but to us, photos were give to us on time.

Mila did an exceptional job with our wedding photos! She was incredibly patient with us and went above and beyond on our special day. Even though it was chilly when taking photos outside in October, Mila did not rush the photos and took the time to pose us and re-do shots to make sure each photo was perfect. We appreciated her professional input with photo ideas, and she worked with some of the ideas I had presented to her. All of our photos came out beautiful, and we are so excited to print them and put together a photo album; because all the photos came out so well, we're having a hard time narrowing down which ones we want to print! We highly recommend Mila for your special day - she is great!

I had a family photo session with Mila and the pictures were amazing. She made us feel comfortable the entire time and suggested different poses. She went beyond the time limit and made sure the pictures looked perfect. Mila is so easy to work with and prompt in her response. I enjoyed working with Mila and will recommend her to my friends. She is amazing!!!
